It's unfortunate that you put out this review today because BYD just launched the 2025 Seal in China today. It has a lot of improvements: LiDAR and greatly enhanced ADAS, 800V architecture allowing much faster charging than this 150kW (optimistically) version, SiC modules allowing greater efficiency, a new 12-in-1 motor with a maximum speed of 240 km/h. Same battery capacity and acceleration. If anyone's interested in the Seal, I'd recommend waiting for the 2025 version.

800v architecture mostly you can enjoy that in China. Most countries are behind ev charging tech, plus it will take another 2-3years before it they will export it. Most of the time they test in locally in China before exporting it.

Have had a Seal Performance, Excellence for you. Great review. One thing the glass roof really keeps out the heat of our 40c summers. Way better than the model 3 or any other pano roof we’ve had or tested. It has a special silver layer to reject heat. Just an FYI as we’ve had it nearly a year. Cheers from Australia

A KZbinr in Australia owns a Seal and a Model Y and Model S he has done a full video on the heat through the glass roof in his Model Y vs his Seal and thanks to the silver coating on the Seal glass it has a massively lower temp coming into the car unlike the Tesla. I also love the look of the Seal and would have chose it but I needed more space in the back for ability to haul things like lawn mowers and beekeeping gear and only am a single parent so one car(2024 Kona EV) not two but if I had two the Seal would be by other choice. I'd like to rent one at some point in future just to see how it goes. The other thing not sure if Sweden gets it is a lighter interior colour option which I prefer to help lower interior temps.

About the panoramic roof. The seal panoramic roof is silvercoated and handles the heat better than for example Tesla. It also comes issued with physical covers but they are manually mounted. The seal gets OTA updates regularly that actually changes things for the better. The new updated seal will most likely also future Lidar support and a new interior design, a more brownish colour. Higher DC charging aswell. Hopefully we also get super ITAC like in China. Which gives driftmode and higher top speed. What do you think of the Seal vs the Han btw?

31:12 - FYI the battery packs have already been confirmed for the 2025 model year - the packs are smaller in total kWh than the current packs - the largest pack will be 80.6kWh (net) which is slightly less than the current 82.5 kWh. The range has actually decreased by a much larger factor than the change in net battery size, CLTC from 700km (old pack) to 650km (new pack) and WLTP from 570km to 530 km - not sure why this is the case.

Unfortunately, the seating positions i too low for me and the Seal is too big for my needs. I also don't like the trunk.

This price war will only improve down under as we have around 10 new electric vehicles coming by the end of 24. As we no longer have a car industry to protect the government no longer imposes ridiculous import tariffs like the USA does (as one example).

BYD has sold 8,000,000 NEVs (they are currently building at least 6 plants outside of China that will take them to 18,000,000 by 2030). What does this prove? It proves that outside of the Church of TESLA most people don't give a shit about software, AP, AI and such they just want to drive their car or truck. For anyone going from a cheaper, earlier EV to a Seal 150kW charging is double or triple what they had before. Even though the later NISSAN Leaf (2021 with 62kWh pack) can charge to 100kW how many CHADEMO stations do you see that are better than 60kW max and average only 50kW? If you go from a Leaf or Kona or E-Niro to a SEAL you don't have any complaints...OKAY the Leaf has one-pedal...I will concede that. But overall it is night versus day.

@@ItsOnlyElectric That’s a really good question! The infotainment/dash of the Seal seemed a bit ‘immature’ and half baked to me with a lot of useless info. Some people love it bit for me it wasn’t my thing. The lack of a centre front sensor also makes it slightly harder to park in tight spaces, am aware it has two front side sensors next to the headlights but these just aren’t enough to properly detect objects directly in-front. I’ve got my Ioniq 6 for three years, which i feel is a direct competitor to the Seal along with the Model 3 (which is never going to be an option for me bc of Elon), the BMW i4 and possibly the Polestar 2. I’ll be checking back in with BYD when my Ioniq 6 lease is over, and hopefully they’ll have fixed a lot of the teething issues that a lot of people see with it, because the Seal is an absolutely beautiful car to look at.

The Ioniq 6 is a great car. The current seal looks better but currently there's not good enough to replace I6. The next gen Seal maybe.

No shades to tesla but I'm really not a fan of Tesla's over minimalistic interior design. It's not luxurious nor practical in my POV. I think even in EVs, they need more traditional cabins

Is it because of Sweden has high tax on EV or the dealership/middle man? BYD is known for it builds almost all parts of its cars, so cost is not a problem, unlikely they would directly sell cars abroad at the same high prices like the European ones.
