BYD SEAL - Chinese EV, Global Standards, Indian Aspirations | Review | PowerDrift

We drive the BYD Seal, the newest EV from China to hit the Indian market. But should its origins matter? Should you buy one? That and much more answered by Cyrus Dhabhar in this extensive, consumer report-styled review.

here in Kathmandu, BYD has absolutely whitewashed the Cretas and Brezzas with the Atto 3. BTW They cost 35 lakhs INR here. Since petrol vehicles are taxed at nearly 300% and EVs at about 80%, buying an electric vehicle is a no-brainer in Nepal and BYD is winning big.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Glad to know!

[@riddle672]

Power drift - how much money did the BYD sponsor ? For example in sports if there is very good player but he keeps slapping /abusing your mother. Will you still support and cheer that player ?

[@manjunathmadabal]

I am all in for BYD, let our Indian businesses wake up from their slumber. What is stopping them from offering 500/600 km range, it is just weight that has to be added. Our own manufacturers are exploiting us for every 25/50 kilometers more (top-end model with more range), if this is what it takes to teach them a lesson, so be it.

[@user-de2zo1bw4d]

Indian manufacturers should provide an EV that’s just as good, until then the consumer should pick the best product, IMO

[@sak1499]

Bhai tu fortuner hi lele 🙂 Enjoy your 7 inch screen

[@jialee140]

For me the car and it’s specifications are more important, than caring where it comes from. If you cared that much you should call your Diesel cars goodbye, because oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran & Venezuela are all countries with no equality, and no labour standards.

[@vishnudeep2738]

This review is non sense. No body cares about which country it comes from. And we all know electrics won't rev, but you could have shown us about the comforts in rear seat, boot space. And all other aspects of it

[@sak1499]

The leg room in rear seats are a bit harsh but fine, it's fine It has a moonroof, rear vents, boot is fine EVs are the future btw

[@mayurshinde534]

Cyrus, please say "IT Doesn't Matter " In Rock's Style. It would be so cool.

[@ayushmanpanda3080]

Curious why it doesnt have a green number plate ?

[@MihirGates]

It's a test drive vehicle with temporary registration

[@ayushmanpanda3080]

@@MihirGates Thought of it, but shouldn't that be red number plate in that case. White number plates are for private non electric vehicles.

If BYD is aloowed to manufacture in India its game over for literally everyone else After a few years it will definitely happen

[@Rathoresid7]

So this is what car reviews have come to! 9 minutes 45 seconds of absolute rubbish features and mere 2 minutes of how it drives, when it should be the other way round!

[@CyrusDhabhar]

People want to know more about the car in totality, not just how it drives. And most EVs anyways drive pretty similarly

[@Rathoresid7]

@@CyrusDhabhar true.

[@GeekforSpeed]

@@CyrusDhabhar then why an almost 2 minute section on how it sounds, since all EVs sound almost the same ?

[@CyrusDhabhar]

@@GeekforSpeed two reasons - to talk about how sounds of an EV will be a thing in the future and to reiterate how a quiet driving experience is better. I thought it was pretty much clear.

[@itsmepaahinath9789]

My uncle was looking for a sedan in the range of 50-60lakh and his top priority was a Camry or an A-class. BYD Seal does look like it ticks all the boxes and for his usage 600km range is more than enough. This is indeed a great car and as far as I have heard from BYD owners, they are happy with the product and are used to getting higher than estimated range every now and then.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Looks like the car for your uncle!

[@sergiom.a1598]

Byd deberíais cuidar mejor a vuestros clientes porque nos vendéis muy bien tecnología y vuestras baterías son las mejores del mundo , pues mi byd seal a los 1000 km se me estropeó la batería y tardasteis 2 meses en arreglarme mi coche y ahora otro problema con el aire acondicionado el cual llevo casi 1 mes y aun no me dais una solución.Sii teneis un servicio postventa tan mediocre empezar por solucionar estos problemas y dejaros de tanta publicidad de aceleraciones

Its the 'Ocean Series' Cyrus. Well, the ocean is full of water, hence water series and therefore you are in a way right. But.. are you?

[@tanaychourasia]

I was hoping you'd talk about the ground clearance in the video. Everything else about the car is superb.

[@rahulpareekyx]

Everything is costlier if it comes on the price of national security. We will develop tech in few years till then we are happy with what we got. India is the most populous country now so consumption will always be there.

Byd doesn’t stand for Build your dreams at all. Please do a bit of research and not just read the press kit. It stands for Biyadi (in Pinyin) - the name of the company.

[@LuvvSURYA]

you are such a hypocrite since you say on the one hand that you are a patriot and on the other hand you buy the products of the enemy country just because you cannot sacrifice your car enthusiasm. Hypocrisy in its full glory.

I wasted my data because it was powerdrift but EVs are so dead. How can they live?

[@burjukaditharun4876]

From far sight it does looks like Porsche taycan but drls differs hence BYD

[@NOKSGG]

For you guys maybe it should not matter from which country the car is from but I'm sure for majority of us the Car is not important than our country and its pride... irrespective of how good it is.

[@The_Universe_Boss]

There is a difference between Nationalism and Hyper Nationalism. If the Government is happy to allow BYD selling it's products in India in return of huge sum of taxes, no one should have any problem in that. Just my perspective!

[@mannu8084]

Don't listen to him. OFC it matters where anything is made. Just decide what matters more, the value the car offers to you and the value you can thereby create in India or the value you can create in India by buying a locally-made car. Peace ✌

[@josjoe4192]

Obviously the 1st one

[@Politicaltanta]

Value that car offer rather than a valuable headache which I will get in tata service center ....hope you got that and if you worry for belonginess than you have to throw even your television and lots of appliances of our house

[@DevKulkarni]

@@Politicaltanta Aavai? IAS ke fan bane ghumte ho aur mere nuance ko apne man mutabik black and white duality mein tolte ho? I never said don’t buy it. If it’s a net higher value add in your opinion you should do the right thing and buy it. For someone who thinks buying a good Indian option in accordance with their priorities is better they should buy an Indian option. Simple. Car at the end of the day is an enabler. What enables you to add more value in social or even capitalist sense is what you should go with. Yaar kuch to lihaz kar lo apne khudke inspirations ka. Thoda soch bhi lo unki tarha.
