CHINA-MADE ELECTRIC SUVS IN AUSTRALIA 2025: FULL COMPARISON & REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This comprehensive review by Ludicrous Feed compares seven mid-sized electric SUVs manufactured in China and available in Australia for 2025. The Tesla Model Y is presented as the benchmark and safest all-rounder, though its lack of Apple CarPlay and shorter warranty are noted drawbacks. The XPeng G6 is lauded for its superior tech, design, and user interface, including Apple CarPlay, but its inability to charge at Tesla Superchargers is a significant hurdle for road trips. The Deepal S07 is highlighted for its unique styling and brand awareness potential, with a manageable charging speed. The Leapmotor C10 is seen as a spacious option for its price, but the absence of Apple CarPlay is a dealbreaker for one reviewer. The Geely EX5 is praised for its exceptional value and interior, despite a less appealing exterior and front-wheel drive. The Kia EV5, a foreign brand made in China with a BYD battery, offers familiarity and trust at a competitive price. Finally, the BYD Sealion 7 is recommended for its versatility, ability to use Tesla Superchargers, and familiar ICE-like interior, making it a strong contender for those transitioning from combustion engines, though it is noted as being less efficient. The reviewers' top picks lean towards the XPeng G6 for daily driving and the BYD Sealion 7 for road trips and familiarity, with the Geely EX5 standing out for its sheer value.
