2025 BYD Seal 5 DM-i First Impressions | AutoDeal Walkaround

[@RetroDaddyPH]

For some people, the 50km all electric range alone is a winner because some of us don't commute more than 25km one way to work anyway.

[@theolich4384]

I'd take this car as a very efficient ICE vehicle. Economy and smoothness of a Prius, but twice as fast.

i was actually looking for a sub compact SUV recently , but this EV, a HYBRID that is below 1m is definitely something i need to add on my list and consider. and thinking about it, given how competitive the prices are, i will not be suprised that ev cars will dominate our roads in the next 5 years

[@jaredgalvin]

Nope, EV's won't dominate Philippine roads in the next 20 years..atleast. But we are on this path.

[@bonlopez1916]

Sub 1M PHEV is crazy. The base model is even better than other brand's top of the line. Power is mind blowing. Hard to beat

[@geraldreyes7835]

Almost double HP and Triple Torque vs same price sedan. The torque is INSTANT too and not engine ROaring due to low engine performance + CVT and taking time to reach the power to overtake

[@ArtemisX152]

I must say, BYD is really changing the automotive landscape in the Philippines, and even globally. With their attractive pricing with so much tech, it is really competing against Japanese mainstream brands. I think in a few years time, they will surely be at par. Keep it up!

i wish i didint buy a car this year This is the most value for money car i have seen, a very good PHEV for under 1m ???? VIos and other sedan competetitors doesnt even compare

[@suhamonster0326]

Sure it has better specs than its competitor. However, you don't just consider specs when buying a car. Aftersales, maintenance, parts availability, repair costs, etc, there are lots of things to note. Also, one thing I don't like about PHEV cars is the battery replacement after many years. It costs 3-digit thousands of pesos for a battery and not sure if that includes the labor or not.

[@venielbretana8240]

@suhamonster0326 the battery last longer than the car itself . Look for history of battery replacements and you will find there is little to no one because it lasts for a very long time . By the time the battery dies out you would have already gotten your money's worth and more In terms of parts and availability it's a PHEV less wear and tear on moving parts because it runs on a electric motor . It's a car that has everything you will need on a car tech,comfort,fuel economy , speed All that under 1m

[@lolpartyparrot]

Nobody's buying Vioses anymore, the only brand-new ones I'm seeing are TNVS and the occasional fleet/rental units. It's safe to say the PH market has migrated to crossovers and SUVs so to speak. +1, it's probably also the very reason we are not getting the 4th gen AC100 Vios that had been released more than 2 years ago elsewhere in the ASEAN.

[@TackKeyNack]

​@lolpartyparrot the raize already destroyed the vios for personal use. the dnga vios is basically a raize so it doesn't make much sense to release it since it doesn't replace the role that the tnga vios plays.

[@lolpartyparrot]

@@TackKeyNack Then why not just kill the Vios nameplate already? Why does TMP just let it get degraded and be rubbed in the face by these new players? There's no point keeping it then if the Raize, or better the Yaris Cross which is basically the DNGA Vios/Yaris Ativ in crossover form, had taken its place.

this is really a nice deal, but are there reviews regarding BYD's after sales already? That is something I would like to know before buying one of these hybrid/full EVs.

[@MisterYoso02]

Just buy one and find out for yourself. All these naysayers are hyping these unproven cars because it's much more cheaper than the staple brands. If that's what they want, then f*ck them pera nila yun. Now you decide.

[@geraldreyes7835]

I would expect na hindi magiging smooth ang early adaptors ng EVs regardless ng brand mapa customer at casa but being brand new and having 5/8/8 warranty should be more than enough to cover the purchase. I think yung pagiging matagal na lang ng piyesa ang magiging issue which is the same din lang naman kahit sa Leading brand sa mga BAGO nilang models. Matagal din piyesa ng mga raize/yaris/corolla cross kasi wala pa sa mga surplusan.
