BYD just cracked the Philippines top 3 without even being in the official industry association. Tesla? Twelfth place with 2,400 units. Chinese brands are quietly eating Toyota's lunch in Southeast Asia's emerging markets.

BYD is everywhere in the Philippines. I wouldn't buy one. I drive a Toyota here and Chevy Suburban in the USA.

MY REVIEW ON THE BYD SEAGULL AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A MONTH

Detailed owner review: Pros — instant torque, nimble steering, surprisingly good suspension, quiet cabin, spacious interior. Cons — AC takes a while to cool, struggles at midday. "For its price, very competitive even against established brands. Zero gastos sa gas!" Best as second car with solar charging.

Honest BYD Sealion 6 review - is this car reliable?

User's dad comparing Sealion 6 vs Toyota reliability. Top comment: "If reliability is a major factor, BYD is not yet for you." Mixed sentiment reveals key barrier: trust in long-term durability vs Japanese brands.

To BYD Sealion 6 owners, how is the car going for you?

"Driving daily has become a relaxing thing instead of fearing how much I need to fork for gas." Nonstop influx of new owners reported. Active Facebook group recommended for real owner insights.
