@ElySky95 to be honest I don’t think anybody likes a car that bursts into flames, however these by all accounts seem good. At least what we’re hearing here.
The mid size seal has a lot of bang for your buck. I drove a tesla 3 rental in California 7 months ago. It was nice. I drove the mid series Seal today and for the money, I'd buy it. Now, I need to convince my wife. She wants the Sealion...
@@PlanetautoUK the Seal Middle long range. Not the top of the line model. BYD will install a charger included in the sale. Roughly $1200.00 us for that
Looking forward to seeing this. I'm considering a RWD version as it has more than enough performance, better range, and all reviews I have read so far says the dampers on the RWD car provide more comfortable ride quality on poor road surfaces which is very important for me. ADAS is main concern and how allegedly poorly BYD have implemented the new regulations on safety systems. As someone with no penalty points and over 30 years driving experience I don't need a car beeping and bonging at me in order to drive safely, in fact I found a new Kona EV that I test drove recently to be unnecessarily distracting. Apparently regulators are now looking at rules for noise pollution from audible warnings.... how this wasn't obvious before writing the nanny rules is baffling. Turning off the ADAS beeping via touchscreen menus and sub menus every time the car is switched on is far too much hassle. I'd be interested to hear your honest observations on what the BYD Seal ADAS is like? For anyone that already has one in other markets, fuse number F15 under the bonnet is the ADAS fuse, it would be very interesting to see if the car would run without nanny ADAS and without error messages if fuse F15 were to be simply unplugged.
We saw this yesterday in the metal for the first time, primarily we were there to drive Dolphin, and the guys assured us that ADAS would be getting the necessary adjustments hardware software etc then consistent OTA updates when needed, they’re aware of the challenges. Hope this assures you Mad4tar
Funny to see that on the one hand people suck up to chinese vehicles on the other hand there are people who is saying those companies are failing and unreliable
Looks great, and my Model 3 is due for replacement in March. Unfortunately, it looks like my current insurer (LV) won't supply a quote for the BYD, nor would anyone on Compare the Market. Still going to book a test drive. See what the dealer has to say about it while I'm there.
@@PlanetautoUK yes, I did. Hopefully by the time I’m looking to swap, the insurers will have caught up. I’m sure it’s just an admin problem. But it’s definitely still on my list of cars to consider.
Test drove one today. Wow really nice interior and the quality was very good. Drove lovely as was very quick 😮. Top spec is about 43k but I'd buy one for sure.
almost a perfect car. i took delivery of one a few days ago.. too bad BYD has yet to offered their larger SUVs in hk. i still have to move my Staffies with my old Subaru
It is, it’s the same here with the bigger SUV’s - that’s a good thing it’s always a pleasure to drive a Subaru, thank you Kwu - have you seen our full review of the Seal?
@@PlanetautoUKstill, should come with one as a precaution, lithium batteries can be dangerous especially in large batches like that (and yes i realise my phone has a lithium battery too)
@@PlanetautoUK it could not take a 50 tonne truck driving over the lithium battery, that would make the metals inside the battery touch, and lithium is a very sensitive metal
Why I will not buy the BYD Seal right now ... *Blunt throttle response which is noticeable in all modes. *Hated the turn indicator sound and various chimes, it was a pain. *No built-in maps and navigation, which is a big miss for a car in this segment. *The software was a bit buggy. *Most of the controls are through the main screen, which is a major distraction and a safety concern. *HUD is useless in bright light and only displays current speed. I would have preferred a proper instrument cluster; this one is small and is busy with too much information on a small screen. Though I didn’t scrape anywhere, it will be a pain on slightly larger speed breakers and on bad roads.
Throttle response is similar to other BYD models and Hyundai group, allowing a controlled non gun it launch but still bloody quick, I prefer the micro cluster adopted by a few manufacturers granted would benefit from buttons etc but there’s a few more in the centre. HUD as well as cluster a challenge with sunshine in virtually any motor similar to dash reflection on older cars, considering it’s there first model like this I’m impressed the next gen will be nigh on perfect if feedback is implemented, thank you for sharing your views Calvin
@@PlanetautoUK not true. If you ask me there is no innovation in china other than copying the Western technology. No wonder the ccp is all over in the west through its spies try to take everything they lay hands on in western intellectual property. Shameful country. I have no respect for Chinese so called innovation
@@Napolean45 it doesn't matter who copies who. What matters is who is more successful. Byd is definitely on the route to overtake tesla. The west make not see it, but go out and visit non nato countries, you'll realise America is not as powerful and influential there.
@@titan_fery says a man who uses an American technology. Again, you can. Not avoid american influence in this world. In one way or the other you certainly going to come across that influence. Finally on copying, I don't respect people who believe in copying instead of innovating or having their own ideas. Its shameful. China is an embarrassment. No wonder they are now known for fake things in my country in Africa.
@PlanetautoUK Chinese manufactured cars dont scream quality. Probably due to decades of shoddy quality Chinese made electronics and consumer products. Also, these Chinese ev companies are in their infancy. How's their afterservice? Will they go belly up in a few years and leave their consumers high and dry? Also, why does this car look almost identical to a new tesla highland aside from a few lines? These guys are just blatantly ripping off tesla's designs with 5% tweaks here and there. Just like Korean car companies, Chinese car companies will have to earn their reputation. But I for one will not be risking my hard earned money on one right now.
@James-oc2zb understandable, how ever a number of them have been established far longer than you realise take BYD for instance 2005 their first ev launched, the volume they sell is phenomenal and we’ve been riding there electric buses in the UK for years. A lot of vehicles resemble other models especially SUVs.
I think the black exterior and black interior looks the best. NICE.
Sporty as thank you yzhang
Absolutely, i was not sure if white or black, but black is just amazing and if now BYD adjust the software they will kill all from tesla to BMW ❤
They are making big moves, that's for sure.

By d Genius😂 , sticking to sexy 💯
the ceo of BYD said no sales to the us
We saw that in 2023 - high tariffs don’t help
As much as i hate to say this if i had to get an ev it would be from china rather then germany or japan

How much money in US dollars is this car? To buy?
Hi @sipnscoot3049 - sadly you cannot buy a Seal in the US yet, so there’s no price to give you. Will keep you posted though! 👍
Not in the US
It’s Chinese they won’t let you bud
Yes, they’re not keen
$10,000?
Tuppence ha’penny? What are we discussing by the way?
My brother in law got one, 3.8s, and it is superior in every way to my Tesla 3 dual motor, yes in every way.
