February 24 news, following the bydir dollar PLUS last weekend in the domestic listing, the car also opened a pre-sale in Australia, the pre-sale price of 204,100 yuan, more than 70,000 more expensive than the country. The domestic price is 131,800 yuan - 159,800 yuan.
The BYD dollar Plus is an imported car for Australia, and it is bound to charge a high-priced import tax. In addition, the car from China to Australia also costs a lot of transportation costs. Some time ago, a large cargo ship full of Volkswagen caught fire, and the corresponding transportation insurance premium was inevitable.
In addition, BYD dollar PLUS does not have many competitors in Australia. Australia's local car industry has disappeared in 2017, toyota, Mitsubishi, Ford, Horton have announced the closure of Australian local car manufacturing plants. All brands of cars have to pay tariffs to the Australian government, and everyone's starting point is the same.
Tesla does not have products at the same price as BYD yuan PLUS, and Volkswagen's cheap pure electric SUVs are also very few, and it promotes the ID.4 type more. Japanese companies such as Honda and Toyota do not have corresponding competitors. In a market that lacks competitors, BYD can set a high price.
Other international brands have not been involved in the cheap SUV market, in addition to their somewhat slow electrification, another big reason is that they are more expensive to purchase power batteries. BYD has many years of research in the field of phosphoric acid batteries, and its blade batteries are much lower than ordinary ternary lithium batteries, not only in terms of cost, but also in energy density. As the main cost of electric vehicles, BYD has an advantage in this regard.
BYD Yuan PLUS positioning compact SUV, the body size is indeed not large, length, width and height of 4455× 1875× 1615mm, wheelbase 2720mm. Less than four meters and five meters long, the space inside the car may not be very large. However, this length also makes it easy to park in narrow parking spaces on the side of the road.
As a cheap and practical family car, BYD Dollar PLUS will certainly create good sales results. In Xiao Lei's view, domestic consumers buying cars have a certain herd mentality. It is difficult for Xuanyi and Langyi to compete with models such as corolla, but these two cars always sell well. In the field of SUVs, the Haval H6 has been selling well, and the BYD yuan PLUS has a certain possibility to become the Haval H6 in the era of electric vehicles.
