2024 BYD SEAL review - (Features, Price, EV issues & Cost of ownership)

[@mashudumoropa8335]

The moment you mentioned those prices, I was like weeeeeeeeeh. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@crmaps5634]

My reaction too, 😭😭😭

[@ennocentsbusiso5292]

I'm always expecting that "Weeeeeh"😂😂

[@Buhles]

The taxes on EVs are insane in South Africa because the Performance version is only R830 000 in Australia (SA's sister market) whilst here it's R1.2 Million 😭😂

[@mrenuh]

but why, Is it tariffs? and its not like South Africa has its own ev car company 😂

[@SonGoku-fc7ci]

​@mrenuh its because dealerships know you guys will buy. Its daylight robbery here in south africa dealerships are making serious bank

[@cainemankweng2349]

yeah, tarrifs are like 25% in south africa.

[@another_coding_channel_argh]

😅​@@mrenuh

[@leroyzwane2097]

New c 63 amg E Performance, is R3 million

[@MrNizzy999]

Hi Muzi! Love your content! I think on your EV reviews, it would be helpful to share comparative monthly electricity cost vs petrol to complete cost of ownership info

[@thakgatsokomane1483]

A dolphin for me will always be a BMW e36

[@thetad1242]

That car was never named dolphin, but it was a nickname

[@chrischokoe6485]

​@@thetad1242kasi we give cars names which are commonly known e'trateni and forget it was never called that in the first place a good example... Vw polo "bujwa" hatchback.

[@nande8187]

Your videos are not just videos, are more like lessons. We need more lessons as South Africans when it comes to cars... 🤞🤞 Thank you 🙌🙏

[@mashudumoropa8335]

Muzi personally I don't like EV"electric cars" . The KZN snow gave me more reasons because the heater of an EV can not run 24hrs non stop, meaning I'll freeze to death. At this moment GNU is working but the moment it starts to fail going back to load shedding it's extreme spot.

[@thobekanikhoza4038]

Norway's EV auto has 91% market share, that is to say, the technology has improved a lot such that your complaint is rendered invalid, a little KZN cold weather is nothing compared to what yoy would find in that part of the world These cars have batteries that perform better that ICE systems in terms of efficiency, even with the loadshedding regime, you can still charge your car at home during hours in which power is available.

[@AsandaMbali]

@@thobekanikhoza4038To add to what you’re saying, that KZN incident was an anomaly, so snow should be the last thing on his mind.

[@mashudumoropa8335]

@thobekanikhoza4038 without a doubt you are correct, the KZN snow it is something that we might encounter again regardlessof that there are factors affecting the market in our country That's why the electric market is slow due to high taxes, large distance and unreliable power supply. Limited charging infrastructure and long distances between cities and unreliable power supply plays a huge significant

[@dnpo]

Comparing south africa with Norway🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️stop it right there

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

So you don't want an EV because of the odd chance you might have snow as if snow is a thing for KZN 🤣🤣🤣. People with EVs in very cold climates (Russia, Canada, Norway) are doing very well. And they have snow for four to five months.

[@bonganipeter9433]

BYD will win the South African Market if they can bring the hybrid cars, the SUV shark will compete in Australia and in Europe as a whole, even here in SA if people are willing to try new things, it will compete.

[@bmt973]

I look forward to day when electric cars can also power a home during power failures/load shedding. Build this dream, BYD. 🙏🏾

[@GregoryMkhaya]

These days you hardly upload Suprise us one day with hour clip but of tall thanks for great videos 🎉

6:56 2024 Suzuki Swift review foreshadowing???? 😮

[@salaninkuna6914]

For us with solar power, electric cars are more affordable than any other car. Can't wait to afford the seal

[@sifisonkonzo356]

Thanks boy for reviewing electric cars in South Africa pls make more and do more about changing and cost and time it take to charge😊

[@m2ngwa89]

Personally I love the BYD Seal. Has one of the longest range in the market and is definitely one of the most affordable EVs. The other EVs are just small suvs which are fine but we want something different. The BMW i4 face-lift sedan is launching at R1.3 million so it's another one to consider but the BYD has captured me

[@AsandaMbali]

I only realized BYD had a dealership in SA a few months ago and that was by pure accident. BYD or the Chinese electric car market is putting a lot of Western car OEMs under immense pressure and I’m loving it, sadly they are responding by hiking import tariffs instead of becoming competitive. The lack of charging infrastructure would give me major anxiety, worse I don’t live in a standalone house. Car prices vele are too high at the moment, so electric cars are a no for me right now. The only way car OEMs would win people over, would be somehow finding a way to make electric cars cheaper than ICE cars, but it doesn’t look like we are there yet. Right now, electric cars are a rich man’s game.

[@tumiitumeleng2740]

Yeap true that

[@sidechaningspinfirehot9420]

I have been waiting for this video for a very long time thanks

[@luckybafanamahlangu5671]

Almost thought it was the Porsche Tycan Turbo. 🥶

[@thetad1242]

I'm originally from Nelspruit and staying in Pretoria and extended range of the BiYaDi Dolphin can do me good. Once in a while doable

[@bongileexaluva7059]

Can you please do a review on Suziki fronx and honda elevate.

[@wave1401]

Thanks Muzi! And yes, EV's are too expensive. Give me a 1000km ev and we can talk...

[@thabangsomo2383]

I'd like to own an EV, but like you, I am waiting fro the used car market to do it's thing with depreciation. I would also like to pay off my existing

[@motheolebelo]

Good quick useable review to the point and it you did the Lord's work.😊

[@mrenuh]

we are just getting ripped off in SA, first it was I phones with their ridiculous prices compared to other countries now BYD is almost $70 000 in South Africa and $52 000 in USA .. $18 000/R315 000 price difference narhhh😂

[@antoniofrancisco3018]

Lmao. our rand is weak bra. The manufacturer wants to cash in.

[@davidm8394]

That has to do with tariffs most likely.. the government here can’t let us enjoy anything

[@bokangsepinare7428]

In USA, there is no VAT

[@fjpshikongo2624]

I also can't wait for the Shark🎉

[@ntokozozondo9581]

Hi Muzi Loved this video! Please review the mahindra xuv 30 next

No engine, no party

[@tumelomokwena27]

ICE cars one way ✊️

[@tshepomoleleki5419]

for me this EV it's a 10/10 but the back and rotating screen is a deal breaker. Surely it will be competitive in the market ❤

[@belinahkgwadi1036]

Lets hear what is best to buy and where..Double cabs Ford and Toyota .,.mileage for Ford is usually high unlike Toyota...

[@phiwamakatana8857]

Bhuti Muzi, what is the better choice between a linked interest rate and the fixed interest rate?

[@MuziSambo]

At the moment a linked rate is more appealing since the repo rate is on a downward trend. We saw the first rate cut last month💁‍♂️

So I don’t skip your videos until I hear “Welcome to another video” and “thank you for watching, don’t forget to like, share and subscribe to the channel for more car content in a Mzansi context”

[@MuziSambo]

Thank you for tuning in

[@lindomncwango1197]

For now owning an EV in South Africa is just mad business, maybe after a couple of years when our Government and the Private sector has invested in the EV infrastructure it would make sense

[@lonwabomfuntana6108]

hi Muzi, can we get a Kia Pegas review?

[@tshegoramoloto6013]

That Lambo though🔥🔥🔥😭

[@TheOGpatriotLady]

I wish and hope Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N makes its way to SA. Most petrol heads would switch to that EV

[@kevinsmith6491]

Ayy bro please make your video bit longer I enjoy your videos

[@BackToChristTV]

I think hybrids offer better service as compared to pure EVs, in Africa

[@bonganipeter9433]

BYD can win the market with hybrids

[@Ruconignite]

Muzi, can you review the Audi eTron

[@sibonisokunene2549]

How many they think they will sell over volvo electric range

[@tiyanimashimbye9386]

The charging infrastructure will get better with time I just wonder if the cost of owning an EV and charging it at home is cheaper than buying petrol for an ICE car.

[@givennkosinathi5399]

Listen properly " A CAR MUST HAVE 4 DOORS"

[@Mr.ChillsOShadetales]

it's already arrived?

[@cedricnemakanga2616]

Muzi does his home work, Clean!

[@sydneymagana]

Personally I like the BYD Seal. Mara the charging infrastructure in SA is discouraging.

[@tumelomokwena27]

Does it produce fake sound through the speakers or its quite like other EV's?

[@thobanisokhela9695]

Maybe I am old fashion, I prefer petrol than EV once the battery is fault it will cost you more than second hand vw polo and other thing you forgot to mention service plan or maintenance plan on EV

[@mongezidlaba518]

Hello MJ, now that I have a car quotation, how do I know which bank gives me a better deal. Do I visit each bank and show them the quotation to see how much they will charge me or will it hurt be detrimental to my credit to do that?

[@MuziSambo]

Watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWmcfqygab-deNk

[@Just_Leebow]

Aji We are simply not ready for EVs in SA

[@bonganipeter9433]

You're right.

[@Just_Leebow]

@@bonganipeter9433 there are just too many variables. Imagine charging at the mall coming back finding out ur charging pack is stolen

[@bonganipeter9433]

@Just_Leebow plus there's not enough charging stations, the tarrifs are too high on the EVs, what makes sense is the hybrids, you see if they can introduce a hatch back and SUV that are hybrids, I think BYD can compete seriously in the South African market.

[@Just_Leebow]

@@bonganipeter9433 a hybrid hatch under R400k that would be great 👍🏾

[@bonganipeter9433]

@Just_Leebow they must target R370k-R400k price. Their cars are technologically capable, and they usually offer every of their cars without many extras like VW.

[@JabuJabu-rf6yp]

THANKS FOR THE NICE REVIEW MNAKA

[@onke]

EVs are not for car lovers, they are for tech enthusiasts.

[@Jerry_Thobela]

Batteries weaken as they age. Does that mean the cars will lose some range as the years go by?

[@MuziSambo]

Correct

[@JamesChiputa]

Byd seal is good looking Sedan

[@nhlanhlastevensibanyoni4115]

In the uk this version is £32000 (R704000) I dont know why so much taxes when these cars come to South Africa

[@Bless_Mabunda]

Also important to note that EV cars lose almost 50% of their value in less than 18 months 😬😬

[@simphiwesimzeystanley825]

Imagine having a Load Shedding while charging, eish but the car is looking good The charging stations I’m sure they few in SA

[@Juniourk]

The only ev im interested in is the hyundai ioniq 5 N.

[@tman648]

Hi my brother l like videos keep going But can you try to make them little bit longer cz eish this short videos asiko

[@saintgodsworth]

Can you charge it at home?

[@mrenuh]

yes

[@mindfreeze0838]

I guess the Seal really made an impression on you if you want your next adventure to be on a used EV. On this one the black one does look good but those prices. When you look at the fact for the price of the Dolphin you could get a automatic Swift Sport( and a used Kwid if youre feeling adventurous) plus the charging issues the logic for getting one kind of falls apart

Build your dreams? Is that what the byd acronym stands for?

[@MuziSambo]

YES🙂

[@yusufmather123]

@@MuziSambo you learn something new every day. Thank you

[@MachoMandem]

BYD needs to make mini busses. They will sell out. The taxi industry would love them. Free fuel when charging from illegal connections.

[@siphokazisosibo1132]

Byd EV's are famous for randomly blowing up in fire here in China so I don't think that be a great idea
