Now this IS what we need - the best of both worlds!

Performace - 0-100 in 5.9s AND a 1000km range. Essentially, it's doing its bit for mother earth without having to overly depend on charging infra outside your home.

Not to mention the starting price for a mid segment sedan is about 12k USD. BYD is killing it.

Can't wait for more such vehicles.
