中国's big challenge to UK and other European car-製造者s has been making headlines this week. And I have been 運動ing a smart new model that epitomises this.
It's fully electric, 広大な／多数の／重要な to 運動, 井戸／弁護士席 任命するd, 意味ありげに cheaper than most of the 競争 ― and from a company you've probably never heard of. But like many other Chinese cars 長，率いるing to these shores, you soon will.
The BYD イルカ is a five-seater family hatchback to 競争相手 Volkswagen's ID.3. But at a time when you'd be lucky to get an electric car for much under £40,000, prices for the イルカ start at just £25,490.
