AUSTRALIA PREMIUM BYD SEAL OWNERSHIP UPDATE ONE WEEK LATER | REGRETS?

EV Channels Review

After one week of ownership, the reviewer expresses overall satisfaction with the BYD Seal Premium, highlighting its excellent value, attractive design, and premium interior finish. The ride quality is praised for being comfortable and plush, comparable to a luxury sedan, with good insulation against road and tire noise. However, the reviewer notes significant concerns regarding the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), describing them as overly intrusive and potentially dangerous, leading to the disabling of features like emergency lane keeping assist. The intelligent cruise control's lane-keeping function is also deemed unreliable. Other minor drawbacks include the placement of the charging port, which is inconvenient for Tesla Superchargers, and the lack of a rear dash cam and Sentry mode, features missed from Tesla ownership. Despite these issues, the reviewer concludes that the BYD Seal offers incredible value for its price and is a joy to drive, especially after adjusting the ADAS settings, with no regrets about the purchase.
