ALL NEW 2023 BYD SEAL Electric Car Review: Is It The Tesla Killer?

[@ulfw]

Well done guys!

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Thank you ulfw 😃

[@lucisleesion8824]

There's a Seal parking under my flat, it looks more gorgeous and luxurious than shown in vids.

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

That’s so true, you just see it in person, it’s a lot better, thanks for watching 😀

[@Diffusion8]

Really fantastic exterior design!

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

I agree with that, looks futuristic 😃

[@olinsorheim]

Looks great. Do you reckon it's better than the new Model 3?

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

It does look great hey, I reckon they both have some unique features but it’s hard to say honestly. I do like both cars tho lol

[@mogensen84]

I took off all the badges on the back of my Seal (same color) and it looks so clean! 👌

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Aw that’s cool, I haven’t seen one without the badges, I would love to see what that looks like.

[@mogensen84]

@@ShiftIntoGear. Sure, I'll take a picture ones it stops snowing. Weather is pretty intense where I live right now 🥶

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

@@mogensen84 that would be great post it up on our Facebook or even instagram when you get the chance champ, no way snowing, where about do you live ?

[@billywong1363]

Great car

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

I agree with you champ, it is a great car 😃

[@kwesto03]

Guys love that you are giving it a go, great car.

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Have a great day.

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

Please let me know if the seats are cooled or just ventilated. Lots of car reviewers use the two interchangeably like they mean the same thing. Does cold air from the vehicle's air-conditioner come through the seat perforations or they are just ventilated? Nice video guys, thanks!

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Hiii there, Yep it’s got cooling seats and heated seats as well, best feature ever, makes it’s comfortable. Thanks for watching 😃.

[@ronnie5966]

Atlantis Grey?

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Yep that’s the one, it’s a really nice colour.

[@fatdoi003]

Seal will scoop up people looking at moving from ICE to EV with such attractive entry price.... So it's not out hunting for Tesla

And I also don’t like all these «killer» wording.

[@wolfgangpreier9160]

The RWD costs more than a Model 3 Highland Standard and the AWD is a bit cheaper than the Model 3 Highland Long Range here in Europe.

[@fatdoi003]

@@wolfgangpreier9160 here in AU the entry Seal is about A$50k and next level is A$58k whilst basic M3HL is A$62k..... That's what I'm referring to

[@wolfgangpreier9160]

@@fatdoi003 50K Australian Dollars are roughly 30.000,-- Euros. The BYD Seal RWD costs 47.290,-- here in Austria or roughly 77.219,-- Australian Dollars. For 50K Australian Dollars you could get a used VW Golf, a new Dacia Spring, a used Fiat 500E. Something like that. The Model 3 Standard costs 46.210,-- Euros or roughly 75.435 Australian Dollars.

[@jonpaxman]

​@@wolfgangpreier9160yeah, the Euro pricing for BYD is a lot steeper. Must be an easier supply chain to Australia right now.

[@t8polestarcyan22]

The Seal should be a lovable EV as do for MG 4.

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

I agree 👍

[@TareqMahbub]

Nice car 😍

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

I agree tareq 😃

[@bowjangles3655]

Cheers gents

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Cheers mate

[@Bella-cy6vv]

I like it

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

I’m glad you enjoyed the review, thanks again for watching 😃

[@1000Themoment]

Doesnt take a full golf bag without problems. Big mistake 😂

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Haha that’s good to know lol 😂

[@albertwidiantoify]

which color the best for byd seal, Aurora White or Atlantis Grey ?

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

I think they are both nice but my preference is the white lol but my offsider prefers the grey. What about you ?

[@QuocDo-bq6st]

Beautiful, but it is a Chinese spy car!!!

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Really, how do you know lol 😂

[@Kukaboora]

I see some sloppy considerations here. To bring out the features of the car, you should choose the background that support the promotion of the car. In the cheap fence and not even cut grass, you already suppressed the sleekness, the shines of the painting…Cheap backgrounds and cheap lighting make the car look cheap. Did you do that for Tesla?

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Thanks kukaboora for the comment, I’ll take on board what you have mentioned. Thanks for watching.

[@pkerry12]

Everyone knows your number plate now

[@69memnon69]

Oh no!

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

That’s fine lol 😂

[@pkerry12]

No red colour

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

That’s true lol

[@maddad4670]

why do they say Tesla Killer, its a friggin car, did ford kill gm, nothing else and a damn nice one at that!!!

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

lol 😂 it’s just a figure of speech lol it’s not to upset anyone 😊

[@gsppuffer]

Now we have throw away cars 5-6 years max with this cheap car then in the bin

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

It’s feels like the market has so many different models and brands now, it’s getting insane. But don’t throw it away, re sell it lol 😂

[@lks3537]

Sure, I can help you with that. Here's a rewritten version of your text: I often wonder about these reviews and are they are paid endorsements? The reviewers only say things like this looks cool or so sporty, without providing any numbers or data to back up their claims. I recently compared the BYD Seal and the latest version of the Model 3. The M3 has a much larger trunk and frunk space. The BYD Seal has hardly any autopilot features. By the way, autopilot is meant to enhance safety, not to let you watch Netflix while driving. The BYD Seal is more expensive than the M3. It also has a lower charging rate of 150 kWh, while the M3 can charge at 250 kWh. The M3 has a longer track record of battery performance and reliability. The BYD Seal uses a new battery technology, but its long-term effects are unknown. Moreover, the reviews don't mention anything about the charging network. It doesn't matter how good your EV is, if you can't charge it, it's just a brick.

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Thanks Iks, not bad at all, thanks for taking the time to write out that comment. 😃

[@theodavies8754]

Might get 6 years out of it. If that adds up it's a win. Nothing is intended to be repaired when it breaks.

[@wolfgangpreier9160]

True, You should beware of other traffic. They may bump in you and if that happens you'd have to scrap it.

[@theodavies8754]

@@wolfgangpreier9160 Reality can be inconvenient. Salvage values aren't any better than trying to sell half a warranty that is virtually worthless either.

[@wolfgangpreier9160]

@@theodavies8754 Yes, true, reality hurts indeed. And of course allChinese products come with manufacturers defects that will and can never be reapired. I don't know about salvage values. Never had a EV to be salvaged since 2018. Lets talk again 20 years from now, shall we?

[@dmhboag5882]

Nothing has been repaired for 25 years, replacement is only repair done to any vehicle.

[@wolfgangpreier9160]

@@dmhboag5882This is not true. Many small shops repair old rusted vehicles and drive around with them. Of course they are not safe and only permitted in countries without any safety laws like Russia, Cuba, Nigeria and the USA.

[@pkerry12]

The level 2 autonomy is terrible on a byd it can’t even keep in its lane when turning. Tesla is is the gold standard for autonomous driving and software. I have driven the byd seal i still prefer my model 3 it has better software and autopilot is superior. If u like driving though this is a good car to drive reminds me of a audi a4, way too many buttons reminds me of a ICE vehicle. Very cluttered dash the byd.

[@fatdoi003]

Whatever floats your boat.... BYD still new to international market, their foreign language software will need time to finetune... Same as Tesla took time to fix their early problems....

[@Rafaelinux]

Yeah, cars are for driving. Otherwise I'd call a taxi

[@wichanee932]

Byd has much better software and battery. Whereas Tesla is just at overpriced with mediocre performance.

[@69memnon69]

Tesla is more efficient and is lauded for having for having better software. The seal will only outsell the model 3 when it’s priced lower. No one will pay more for it.

[@pkerry12]

@@wichanee932 I don’t think u know what good software is, byd has better than most, but the gui and lag is horrific, compared to tesla, its still night and day. Tesla efficiency is still way better than BYD, and u can charge faster than a byd. 12kw AC and 250kw DC on a Tesla model 3 and Y. Also teslas do have better performance, BYD is cheaper for a reason, they cost cut alot. BYd autonomous driving as i said is rubbish compared to tesla, BYD was made to feel and ride like a traditional ICE car, traditional controls for people that hate change.

[@keithbarrett9882]

Are you on commission as there wasn't one negative note at all which makes the review seem biased.

[@ShiftIntoGear.]

Thanks Keith for your comment, have a great day 👍.

lol what makes you say that 😆
