Pros

  • Parent context: The one I drove. BYD Seal Reply: Love the tail lights on these. So good.
  • And the Seal would be the perfect base for this passing down of the torch; it's already super popular in Australia, the platform wouldn't be hard to build a ute off of, it's RWD, safe as hell, honestly has the styling appeal that the Com...
  • BYD Seal – 259 sales
  • Parent context: If you love BYD so much I suggest you buy one. 🤣 Reply: I loved the one I bought so much I got a 2nd. In Australia. First a Seal, then an Atto 3. ❤️ them.
  • The one I drove. BYD Seal

Cons

  • The byd seal car is £9000 in China its fucking £37k here in UK.
  • The Seal looks really good, especially from the rear. I just wish it had a lift gate.
  • the Seal is a fairly cheap car and I don't feel BYD can make a fun-to-drive car yet.
  • BYDs rapidgate due to insufficient battery cooling. Bjørn Nyland constantly runs into battery overheating issues with all the BYDs he tests, including the Seal. Their software is kinda ok but still not great compared to that of European...
  • the only consistent issue I have seen on the BYD group is something to do with a certain seat option (I think leather) in the Seal not being great.

BYDs rapidgate due to insufficient battery cooling. Bjørn Nyland constantly runs into battery overheating issues with all the BYDs he tests, including the Seal. Their software is kinda ok but still not great compared to that of European carmakers or Tesla.

The Seal is the one I went for when I had a similar shortlist and I can definitely say I'm happy with my choice. It will have the most standard kit out of the lot. Software isn't all there but if you're like me and use Android Auto/Carplay it doesn't really matter.
