BYD SEAL | Detailed Review | Range, Power, Price & More!

BYD is touted as the biggest car brand that you've never heard of. The SEAL is their all-electric saloon car with good range, charging, and phenomenal power. It has an 82.5kWh usable battery for a WLTP range of 570km, but you can expect a real world figure of around 450-500km.
There is a sense of quality in the cabin, and the car is kitted out with a very long list of specification that puts some of its rivals to shame.
Our detailed review looks at range, tech, space, power, price, comfort & more!

Had mine since jan in Australia, love it so much❤

[@evplatform]

Glad you're enjoying it, great car!

[@dalepurton8118]

Great review! I've had that exact vehicle for 7+ months now - it's still tight as a drum and I've Ioved every second of it. Here in Australia it is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than all the competitors you mentioned so it's a no-brainer.

[@evplatform]

Good stuff, whopper car for the money!

[@GreenDistantStar]

Yep. My soon-to-be-delivered Seal Premium here in Australia will cost the equivalent of £31,668. If this car isn't a bargain at this price, nothing is.

[@Buttercookiesssss]

Hi is it also cheaper than Tesla Model 3? In Singapore BYD seal is more expensive 😭

[@jovceata]

i have had mine since Dec 2023 and love it and make any reason to go for a drive

[@evplatform]

Can't blame you, it's a fine machine!

[@ChristopherVenables-e3n]

just taken delivery of our Seal Excellence and its an amazing car - a delight to drive .

[@evplatform]

Good stuff! Happy and safe driving Christopher!

[@jamesdawson3123]

Pick up mine Friday 8/11 can't wait, test drove the premium and that was quick, I think I'll be blown away by the performance version 😊

[@Audios81]

Ive gotten 159kw as the max charging speed a few times. Even though the max is supposed to be 150kw, seems to have a bit of wiggle room on it. Also the software seems like the original one. The bings, bongs and warning sounds are so much quieter after a few updates, definitely not as annoying as when I first got in in April 24. Great and thorough review.

Seen a few around Drogheda, really smart looking machines! Glad they didn't put the long-form logo on the back

[@evplatform]

Amen to that! BYD suffices!

I noticed the gorgeous rear lights driving on a motorway the other day & thought "What's that?!" The driver noticed me staring at his car when I passed him....which is a bit weird because it's usually the other way around when I'm out driving in my 2023 RS5 Vorsprung coupe! 😁

[@vtechead1]

Anybody know where the paint colour code is located ?

[@Daniel-pd1bz]

is this Indigo Grey? Thank you :)

[@jovceata]

looks to be the Grey one yes herein Australia its called Shark Grey

[@Walker-xl5zl]

I think it's Polar White, which has quite a heavy pearlescent finish to it. The camera doesn't do it justice sadly, and makes it look a little grey.

[@stevenmitchinson4610]

Is this the 2024 model?

[@nurnberg1561]

This not new,2025 is coming

[@evplatform]

It is new, only on roads in my market for a few months.

[@hyway62]

19 inch wheels get it right

[@evplatform]

How about watching the full video? One mention of 20s, which admittedly I missed in the edit. But a whole section later on talking about the wheels. Nobody that watched the full video would come away with the wrong impression.

[@jovceata]

the rim size is 19"" not 20

[@evplatform]

Yep, mentioned that once, which i missed in the edit...but then spent a whole scene explaining the wheels and saying they're 19" 3 times.
