New 2024 BYD Seal Design Review | Best Value EV Saloon

Today on Buckle Up, Jasper takes the BYD Seal out for a spin. We've had the AWD Seal model on the channel before (which does 0-62 mph in 3.8s) but this is the more affordable model that only has 313PS for you to play with. Offering heaps of tech and a luxurious cabin, does the car drive well enough and far enough to make it worth your time?
Additionally, how does it compare against its closest rivals: the Tesla Model 3, Hyundai Ioniq 6, BMW i4 and Polestar 2?

    Carplay is also wireless. You can also use three fingers to swipe to change temperature or fan speed (left/right or up/down), and this works with car play running. It's such a pleasure to drive. I'm getting about 300 miles right now driving with a heavy foot :)

    The latest OTA update for BYD cars adds swipe gestures for the AC controls. It's an amazing feature which practically renders physical controls obsolete.

    I will die on the hill that physical controls will always be better for climate control than any screen-based ones, whether they're swipe-based or not.

    The boot space is actually very useable. In an upcoming video you will be able to see how we got 3 bags of golf clubs in it with room to spare 😅. The roof shade is a bit of an odd one, but the glass is tinted so you don't have to use it. I wouldn't let it be a deal-breaker for you.

    I've survived a hot Australian summer without any need for the roof shade at all. The heat rejection treatment in the Seal roof is superb, it's nothing like our Tesla roof, which turns the car into an oven. The specified volume of the Model 3 boots by Tesla is also misleading. BYD quote a volume not including the underfloor space, but Tesla quote a boot volume including the underfloor capacity and side pockets (594L). The reviewers just seem to take these numbers at face value and don't question the obvious discrepancy. The real luggage capacity of the Model 3 boot is 425L, versus the 400L in the Seal. We have both cars and there is not much difference in boot capacity between them. Indeed, the Seal has more a bit more capacity with the seats down.
