minus-squarealansuspect@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoI did some very quick searching, according to this https://carnewschina.com/2022/12/29/new-2023-byd-dolphin-launched-in-china-price-starts-at-16700-usd/ the Dolphin launched in China for ~AUD$25,400 and you can currently buy it in Australia from AUD$38,890. So it’s obviously more but they have their government discounts. Depending on the state here you can get rebates too.
