BYD Seal 2024 First Impressions | S02E19

[@SirKart]

Hello! Wanted to add some points that we didn’t squeeze into the discussion: - it doesn’t have a single pedal drive mode! - it has two levels of regen but we haven’t tried that out yet - not having wireless CarPlay is annoying. But the location for the USB ports is even more annoying. It’s Ina tray under the wireless chargers. Had to step out, crouch down to plug in the cable. But, as an owner you’ll do it just once. (Buy a cable for the car) Link to image - drive.google.com/file/d/1-9LB3zds_BRJrcgWNJGlZLlUMSPvGcHg/view?usp=drivesdk - The infotainment screen in portrait mode pops into your field of vision. So, best used in horizontal/landscape mode while driving. - Yes, it has ADAS tech. No, I did not test it. We had only 3-4 hours with the car. - Sound system is impressive! 12 speakers or thereabouts! - The quietness of the Premium variant was impressive. Not easy to pull off. Have a great weekend!

I remember Shumi once mentioned that he was afraid that one day MotorInc would become so big that they would no longer be able to reply to every comment and have conversations with viewers in the comment section. By putting your content behind a paywall, you have kinda made sure that will never happen. I love this channel so much but I can't help but feel alienated. I am glad that MotorInc First is still free to watch. I have a lot of respect for your approach to automotive journalism. But as someone who alread pays 150-something rupees every month for KZbin premium, despite how much I love this channel, I can not justify paying another ₹400 for this membership. So all the very best to you and your team. This is still one of the best channels out there. I will continue to watch what I can :)

Hey Rahul! Firstly, thank you for being with us and having these frank conversations. Second - as you will see - the content flow will remain unchanged. We look forward to hearing from you in a few weeks time!

The fact the BYD Seal is being discussed in the league of BMWs, Audis etc is a big win for them.

[@motorinc]

Absolutely!

[@archangel7052]

BYD cars are heading out to dominate and the seal is just one car, check out their premium line Denza cars. BYD Sea lion, Shark, U8 and U9s...etc...There's a reason the US had to place a 102% tariff on BYD cars just recently. They know they can't compete with China.

[@Petrol_and_positivity]

Kudos to BYD! They’ve done an incredible job with the seal. I really do believe that this car is going to reform what we perceive as value at that price point- for that kind of car. I also believe it’ll be instrumental at converting die hard ICE fans into EV owners. 500 plus horsepower at 50L is just too good to be true.

I recently realised that MG as a British brand has a very strong emotional connect among many Americans and Europeans. But we Indians just love dissing the brand for being "Chinese". Now imagine people dissing brands like Jaguar, Land Rover, Royal Enfield for being "Indian"!

[@motorinc]

Keep in mind, Indian brands were dissed in the west just the same way. Let’s not be blindsided by bias. Anybody in the world doing a good job has to be recognised for it. Agree?

[@FindEdge]

Brand from a nation competing with us is ok Brand from a geopolitical enemy that shares border with, I don't think that's intelligent

But mg is literally geely vehicles with their own styling while re and land rover actually do their r&d in other countries

[@vyshakreghukumar995]

@@motorinc My point is not about BYD, which is an actual Chinese brand. It's akin to Tata, Mahindra selling their products overseas. My point was more on how American and European brands are being devalued due to their change in ownership. Ultimately my point was that we need to rise above petty politics and start appreciating products for their actual worth. So yes, I agree with you. 🙂❤️

[@alburaq3290]

Jaguar, Land Rover aren't developed in India. Their design, RnD teams are separate. They don't get their engines or platforms from Tata. MG is different. There's really nothing British about it anymore. All of their development happens in China and that shows.

[@sarangtambe3585]

This car is the definition of value for money but I don’t think it will disrupt the ev market because it’s out of most people’s budget. Basically it’s a revolutionary car which won’t revolutionize the Indian ev market. Good to see a return to the roots with this overview. Last few videos haven’t been my cup of tea but this is great

[@alburaq3290]

It's a halo product. It will never be mass market EV at 40+ lacks and it isn't trying to be. It'll change people's perception of BYD and they're trying to get rid of the Chinese brand stigma. If things work out and they're allowed to invest in India and build factories then we'll see their mass market cars come out.

[@Siman_Shrestha07]

Finally a chinese brand from you guys and I know you will get a lot of comments from people showing hate towards this Chinese Brand, but if we look at the bigger picture, this will benefit the consumer as the value, the premium ness and the technology they provide is commendable also it will push the local manufacturers like the Tata and Mahindra to pull up their socks.. PS- BYD' Atto3 and Dolphin sells in crazy numbers here in Nepal and also due to lower Tax for Evs here alot of chinese manufacturers are launching their vehicles in Nepal.. Also K, please do check the Deepal S07 😉😉

[@motorinc]

Thanks Simran! Will pass it to K!

[@alburaq3290]

Nepal doesn't have any local automotive industry to protect. India has to use taxes to incentivise foreign brands to set up manufacturing here. I hope BYD is allowed to invest and build their batteries, motors and cars in India.

[@ArunSapaare]

First impression of the design of the car, it looks better than expected (yes I know it looks like the Porsche Taycan). The specs looks good for an EV compared to the more expensive options like the BMW & Mercedes. If they can concentrate a bit more on the interior cabin design, fit & finish, this will "Seal" the deal for many of us!🤪 I think the ideal scenario for BYD would be, have a manufacturing unit here in our country, give employment to our people, pay the tax to our country & take a part of their profits to their home country China, that would be good for both countries as that helps to build trust b/w the two nations. Other than that, I'm certainly running out of words to describe the kind of videos you put out, the effort you put behind every video, the quality of the content & the way it's presented. Like it said before, this channel is stronger than drugs in terms of addiction. 💛❤

I'm wondering how many parallels you will be able draw from BYD and Xiaomi.

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

BYD has been in India much longer than the E6. They have been selling their buses under Olectra brand, many states have been running these buses for quite sometime. I saw a documentary of the BYD city or something couple of years ago. If I recall correctly a lot of it is run on BYD tech. You guys laid down some hard hitting facts and I agree. It's all nice to sit and bash a company because its Chinese, whereas a lot of our everyday tech stuff is either Chinese or manufactured there. Something one has to understand, if Chinese products were a 'threat' to Indian companies, the govt wouldn't approve to sell them here, right? Also, Govt is very much earning from their products just like any other major brand, German or otherwise. Besides, Volvo too is owned by Chinese company Geely (but products are very much Swedish), I don't see people complain about that. Anyways, I think BYD is a very interesting car. When you say it delivers most of what its German rivals deliver (except the build and prestige of course), one must account for the fact that it is priced like 20 Lacs lower (I think you mentioned that, I haven't cross checked exact price). 20 Lacs is a lot of money! (may not be for someone who spends 50+ lacs) but that along with taxes make the difference even larger. So I don't think its completely fair expecting similar feel / finish / experience. Would I buy one if I had the money? No, but its not cuz its Chinese. Its because I wouldn't want to own an EV (Drive occasionally? sure) The aural and mechanical feeling from an ICE vehicle cannot be matched by blistering performance alone. So I will still consume the Dinosaur juice and will use it as long as it lasts. Thank you :D

I would like to know how prepared india is in terms of supporting infrastructure, legislation for charging standards etc, because the US is also lagging behind in these terms. I feel the switch to EV will also shift global perception of brands and countries in a global context. Happy to see Mahindra doing EVs though!

[@mokshshah4008]

Do y'all think the quirky-ness of the interior i.e. the screen doing gymnastics, the instrument cluster and other interior pieces stand the test of time? In short was the fit and finish upto the mark of its german rivals?

[@bonjovi1354]

i really want the cfmoto 450 mt and kove 450 also to come in india

[@motorinc]

Alrighty!

[@harisharan3180]

I guess there is some issue with mic or audio settings... At around 25 min mark (i noticed it before too) it suddenly gets too bassy and then flat or natural again... Its like the mic is brought wayyy closer to the speaker for a few seconds and then pulled back. Let me know if anyone else also felt that.

Thanks for the feedback H. Checking it out.

Did Karthik just lent his voice for Mahindra XUV 3XO in its ad posted a few hours ago ?

[@motorinc]

No. We don't do anything apart from our own content, Vikas

Hii, I have some of questions. Will BYD, Xiaomi invest in india in the government scheme for import tax cut? Will there be import tax cut on BYD, or Xiaomi from 100% to 15%? What is CIF value? How is it applicable to Chinese cars? Its mentioned that it will be applicable about 35k$, example - tesla cost about 40k$, so it will be eligible for tax cut, but what eill happen in case of byd? The seal cost around 50k$ in US and around 30k in china. Can I import BYD shark if in case they invest in india and have the benifits of import tax cuts and didn't launch the shark in india? How much depreciation I can claim for the business use? For evs and differences in IC engine. (For IC engine i believe we can claim depreciation of 15% yoy what % it would be in evs? What is the difference in gst claims of business of transport/ driving school/ second hand buy sell compared to other any businesses? What is the key difference? If you may, please calculate the value of BYD seal after tax cut, gst input and deprivation for years?

[@pranay220]

E6 was meant to be taxi, thats why no aquatic name. BYD has a large range of vehicles targeted at the commercial fleets.

[@motorinc]

Thanks for the clarification Pranay.

@MotorInc, Hey Karthikeya / Shumi, When can we expect the full review of Seal Performance variant that you spoke about in this video ? Eagerly waiting for the same !

[@motorinc]

Noted @vdineshmenon, we'll see what we can do.

Hey Nikhil! Thanks so much. Happy to hear that.

Glad you like it! Thanks Naveen!

08:00 Good looks matter i guess, who wants original ?

[@rahulnair4533]

Hi! Shumi.. please recommend Top 3 commuter 100-125CC for city and highway use. I might have to do a 100km daily so fuel economy (Real world not ARAI) is also important. I do plan to use my Interceptor for fun few times in a month.😅

[@Capflying]

I suggest to keep that money in the bank and use it for fueling the interceptor.

please a request. motor inc keeps mentioning rtr 200 4v make a video on it. especially on engine smoothness,service and why one should buy or not to buy.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@motorinc]

We would like to do so as soon as possible. Test bike wait ongoing. 😃

[@Vicky_Being-Stoic]

Awesome podcast... Trying to clear Kartikeya's confusion regarding the design 00:10:53 Design -> The Side Skirts design are Fins of the Seal and the White Stripes below the headlight are the white Whiskers of the Seal. BYD have literally designed an Electric Seal with Whiskers and Fins.🦭

[@AmmarKhan-g1f]
