2,200 km Outback Queensland Dinosaur Trail (Winton, Longreach & Carnarvon Gorge) in BYD Sealion 6 AWD
-
Just returned from a 2,200 km Outback Queensland road trip from Brisbane out to Carnarvon Gorge, Longreach (Qantas Founders Museum), and Winton (Australian Age of Dinosaurs) in our BYD Sealion 6 Premium AWD.
On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details
- Zero range anxiety across 400 km outback stretches—filled up with regular 91/95 unleaded in Roma, Emerald, and Longreach while plugging into motel 10A/15A outlets overnight.
- Overall trip fuel average: 5.4 L/100km!

Plugging the portable 10A granny charger into the outback motel room socket overnight so you wake up with 100% battery every morning is the smartest touring routine!

@euro_tourer_uk 5.4 L/100km across 2,200 km of Western Queensland highways in a family AWD SUV is sensational.

@Emily_Patel Did you use the V2L adapter at Carnarvon Gorge day-use area for hot lunches?

@Logan_SA_EV Every single day—boiled the billy and toasted sandwiches right on the tailgate after hiking Moss Garden!

Subscribed to this thread. Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.

For anyone reading this later: make sure you enable SOC calibration by charging to 100% on AC at least once every two to three weeks so the BMS range estimator stays dead accurate.

Spot on breakdown. One detail I noticed after logging another 2,500 km is that the thermal management loop stays completely silent below 32°C ambient unless you chain two fast DC sessions back-to-back.
