2023 BYD Seal EV passenger's first impressions | CarBuyer Singapore
China's BYD Seal may be a really fast car, but how well does it score on comfort and usability? We ask Katherine Sng of Piques Media along for her opinions.
Katherine Sng owns bubbamama.com, martiniblanc.com, TheSmartTravelers.com, and is also the principal brewer of Kombucha Works.
As at November 2023, the BYD Seal in top-specification Performance trim as driven here costs S$259,888 with COE.

Elon used to laugh at BYD design back then. He said recently the biggest competitors for Tesla comes from China.

now his Tesla made in Giga Berlin uses BYD blade battery
Data released by the land transport of Singapore showed that byd surpassed tesla to be the best selling ev brand in Singapore during the first five months of 2023. In fact, byd had dethroned Tesla as the world's largest ev firm in 2022

It should be. BYD literally stole every design element from Tesla. Should be sued for stealing.

I can understand people being bearish with these conditions. However, it is not reasonable for most people to sit on the sidelines while your cash position debases by 10% or more per year..What is the best way for me to invest 180k into my portfolio?

I believe a healthy portfolio has 3 things, at the bare minimum: Exposure to ETFs for increased diversification, Exposure to assets that generate cash flow like dividend stocks, Exposure to market-leading tech.

The market is not necessarily a rollercoaster if you know your way around the market, there are various opportunities in the present market to accrue good profit, If you are not too savvy with the market, just buy and hold on strong companies with good earnings, or consult with advisors on ETFs and actively managed funds. That’s what works for my spouse and I. We've made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?

I'm cautious about giving specific recommendations as everyone's situation varies. Consider independent financial advisors like "WONGHUATRADES" I've worked with her for 9 years and highly recommend him. Check if she meets your criteria.
Very good, can understand Singlish
I do wish Byd had the right hand drive Han sporty sedan in Singapore. I would buy that instead of the seal .🎉

is it possible to install other languages for the voice commands/for example Bulgarian/. and what are the buttons with the little men on the door for /besides those for the electric windows/. thank you
This BYD brand is one car design away from the world's biggest plagiarism lawsuit.
Thank you for excellent and useful review. Very striking looks and design. Does the glass roof get hot like Tesla? I wish all the manufacturers would only option glass roof.

There's a fold-up fabric sunshade to cover the ceiling from the inside. It's fiddly to fit, but quite practical at keeping the sun away on really hot days.
This Byd seal look nicer than tesla model 3..
but is it nice to drive especially with the self braking mechanism
Haha..much better than Tesla
Wait till you hear the price tag
Saludos al canal bajo mi punto de vista como usuario la función eco de byd seal debería introducir otra función eco plus que desconecte un motor para asi hacerlo más eficiente en casos que estemos muy justo de autonomía o porque no necesitemos la tracción integral por ciudad alargando mucho más la autonomia y la frenada regenerativa a un solo pedal así sería más eficiente para conseguir más autonomia con un simple software
price in singapore?

So BYD Seal from China is competing with Tesla from China Shanghai over Singapore market share.
BYD Seal is more expensive than Tesla Model 3 Highland. Thanks to competition from BYD, we can now afford to buy Tesla EV. 👍👏💪🇸🇬

byd ranked 4th brand of 2023 in Singapore, only behind Toyota, Merc and BMW, Tesla is only ranked 9th, what do you say now?
The BYD is very boaty, and suffers from suspension sag. Reminds me of the Old 1971 Mercedes. People purchasing the BYD seal are likely upgrading their Corolla, Camry, MG, Mazda or Daewoo. The BYD is fast in a straight line for 100 meters. we have test driven the car for an hour on windy Victorian roads, I can assure you it is not a "Performance car" lot's of fake reviews and blatant lies from sales and marketing demonstrating it beats a 2.2 second, 355kph Lamborghini. Not a chance, it's capped at 180kph, and most super cars are 300kph - 400kph, There are videos of Seal Performance getting completely destroyed by a 2019 Tesla, the BYD didn't come close. So that 3.8 is also bullshit! Just Chinese rubbish and using the genius of marketing to trick gullible idiots., add a corner and it's death rolls. It is truly a non aggressive handling car.

Hardly any high performance vehicle surpasses 250kph since they are electronically limited.. but thats not the point.. what matters is that there isnt one single 500hp car at the price.
