I TRIED DRIVING TESLA'S BIGGEST RIVAL BYD DRIVE AND REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The BYD Seal Performance is reviewed in Singapore, highlighting its surprisingly strong driving dynamics and premium interior, which the reviewer likens to a German car. Despite initial apprehension due to driving on the left side of the road, the reviewer praises the car's smooth ride, good handling, and comfortable seats. However, the infotainment system is described as basic and somewhat laggy, with technology that feels dated compared to competitors. The reviewer notes the regenerative braking isn't as strong as expected, requiring more use of the physical brake pedal. While acknowledging BYD's global sales success and build quality, the reviewer ultimately prefers the Tesla Model 3 for its superior technology and software integration. The potential for BYD in the US market is discussed, contingent on pricing and a more consistent design language across its model range, with the Seal's design being a particular highlight.
