SIX MONTHS WITH A BYD SEAL: IT’S NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED!

EV Channels Review

After a six-month long-term test, the BYD Seal Excellence AWD proves to be a highly impressive electric vehicle, exceeding expectations and earning the reviewer's highest praise. The car's stylish exterior, comfortable ride thanks to the 19-inch wheels, and surprisingly spacious interior for a saloon are highlighted as significant positives. The reviewer particularly commends the car's performance, noting its powerful acceleration that feels more refined than some competitors, and the impressive real-world range, which often surpasses the WLTP figures, especially in local driving. The updated software, customizable interface, and responsive voice control are also lauded. However, minor drawbacks include the wireless chargers' inefficiency and tendency to overheat phones, the slightly fiddly cup holders, and the fingerprint-prone gloss black trim. The reviewer also notes the lack of a rear wiper and the absence of one-pedal driving as minor annoyances. Despite these small issues, the BYD Seal is declared the best car BYD currently makes, with the reviewer enthusiastically recommending it and even stating they would purchase one themselves.
