Owned an AWD Seal here in Thailand for a few weeks now - amazing car and great fun to drive. The Glass roof is silver coated and not hot with a sun blind in a bag in the boot. I drive in Eco mode most of the time as it's the most relaxing, but still plenty of punch if you need it. You can access the cooled/heated seats from the aircon screen which is always at the bottom of the screen, I set regen to max and leave it - I only use the break pedal to stop completely. OTA updates are already making improvements to the infotainment system here. Lots of videos on my channel.

@@AlbertAlbert_ I think you have to drive it yourself and try it. I find the regen level just about perfect. If I’m overtaking, I accelerate, which can take me from 80k to 120k in about a second, I then lift off and the regen slows me down quickly but I’m not head butting the steering wheel, it is steady and controlled. Any more aggressive level of regen would not make the driving experience as enjoyable

Honestly, specs wise as well as interior appearance wise, BYD Seal quite surprised me. Getting a lot of car for the money.

I noticed the aftermarket installed dash camera. BYD Seal actually has an integrated dash camera in the box (in front of the rear view mirror) at the top of the front windscreen unless it is an absent equipment for SG market.

Do check out your camera colour setting or sync, the entire video looks like taken during extreme high haze 300+ PSI.

It’s really this or the highland. Would love to see a comparison!

In my opinion, i still love the Byd Atto 3 ev, it is more likeable because many Singaporeans are going for the byd atto 3 cat B because it can charge (150 Kwh) more then Cat a Byd atto 3( 100 Kwh)

Great review. Thank you. I currently own a Stinger and am considering this as a replacement. As you’ve owned a Stinger how would you compare each just from a driver’s perspective. Handling and interior perspective. 👍😎🇦🇺

It's a different kind of fun. If I could've kept the stinger I would, nothing beats that V6 and tail-happy RWD brain in the Stinger, taking a corner at speed, clearing the turn and flooring it out of the turn, or clearing the North-South highway up in Malaysia. That being said, the seal's AWD is more direct and confident, and a definite sleeper, handling-wise. Day-to-day also a lot more cost efficient to be driving like a maniac. Touring body in the Stinger feels more driver-centric while the Seal feels more all-rounded on the inside. Heads-turned and flair definitely goes to the Stinger. If I could, I would pick the Stinger, even if it's slower, imo. - Jay

I like BYD Seal

Before the model 3 highland refresh this is much better looking, now that the model 3 has a prettier than duck bill face of the old, I reckon they both looks phenomenal, very similar headlights, would give the value to the seal, especially the 3.8 performance, the 3.1 model 3 dual motor long range is still faster. Seen a lot ioniq 6 (more in indonesia) on the road, that is one odd looking car, looks like a porsche yet oddly low and narrow, and the headlights ain't nothing special, spoiler light is cool though, parked Ioniq 6 looks better, it is not a small car, but on the road it looks tiny.

The seal and audi a6 seems to be same price, which would you get? Do you do any comparison videos btw in your channel

@sgcarmartreviews

4 ай бұрын

It's a bit of a stretched comparison, as the A6 and Seal are from different segments. It really depends on what you need/are looking for from your car. Me personally at my current needs if it were between the two, I would get the Seal now, probably the A6 when my family is a little larger. Currently I don't do full-length car content on my own channel while I'm doing car content for Sgcarmart! - Jay

The full glass roof despite being tinted, I wonder how it will fare in our local heat after hours of parking in the hot Sun or driving on the bright sunny day... On the other note, I would really love to see more Chinese made cars coming to our shores in the near future.

In my experience, while not 100% heat-proof, it does filter out a lot of the heat. That said, I've never gotten into the car and felt like I was baking while with the Seal, which has happened with other glass-roof cars before. - Jay

@JennyDelaCruz02

The full glass roof in the BYD Seal, while tinted, may still raise concerns about heat buildup during extended periods of parking in direct sunlight or driving on bright, sunny days. It's important to consider the potential for increased interior temperatures and the need for effective climate control to mitigate any discomfort. Additionally, it's worth exploring whether the tinting provides sufficient UV protection to reduce heat absorption and glare. Conducting thorough research or consulting with automotive experts can provide valuable insights into how the full glass roof will perform in your local climate and help you make an informed decision.

What about the BEEP ALERTs...can they become annoying? (Speed limit for instance) cannot you block the sound Alerts to silence them forever ? Maybe in future updates? ...or to select Rumble alerts instead of sound alerts would be fine. The thing is that every time you turns the car on, you are forced to disable the Sound Beep Alers again and again, which can result very annoying... I am worried about this aspect really

Road tax always a killer when considering an EV

@JennyDelaCruz02

8 ай бұрын

You're absolutely right. Road tax can be a significant consideration when evaluating the overall cost of owning an electric vehicle (EV). Some jurisdictions offer incentives or reduced road tax for EVs to encourage their adoption and promote environmentally friendly transportation. It's worth exploring any available incentives or exemptions for EV road tax in your area to better understand the financial implications of owning an electric vehicle. Additionally, as the popularity of EVs continues to grow, there may be ongoing changes to road tax policies that could further benefit EV owners.
