The engineers who taught the world how to build cheap, reliable cars paid thousands for a report explaining how a Chinese company builds them for around a quarter to a third less.

We rank 10 things the Nikkei and UBS tear downs found inside a BYD: far fewer parts, shared components, a room full of rivals' parts, the cost gap, the Blade Battery built into the floor, the 8-in-1 drive unit, the software wall, what a teardown can't see, and the question that matters most: cheap to build, or cheap to keep? You'll also get the fair case and 5 checks before you sign. All prices in Australian dollars, rounded.

Would you keep a BYD for ten years, or only lease one?
