BYD Seal (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Genuine 300-mile range	Annoying infotainment system
Strong performance	Smaller boot than some rivals
Loads of standard equipment	Monthly finance deals not the most competitive

Quick Summary

The BYD Seal is the third model from the Chinese manufacturer to enter the UK market, presenting as an electric, mid-sized saloon positioned against the Tesla Model 3. With a handsome design and a low-slung roofline, it offers an 82.5kWh 'Blade' battery, providing an official WLTP range of up to 354 miles for the rear-wheel-drive model and 323 miles for the all-wheel-drive variant. Performance is strong, with 0-62mph times as low as 3.8 seconds, and it delivers a surprisingly fun driving experience with good traction and a comfortable ride.

The Seal boasts impressive practicality, offering more rear legroom than a Tesla Model 3 and a 400-litre boot complemented by underfloor storage and a 'frunk' for cables. Its interior features classy materials and a generous standard equipment list, including a panoramic glass roof, head-up display, heated and ventilated electric seats, and a 360-degree camera. While the 15.6-inch rotating infotainment screen includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, its menu structure can be frustrating. Competitively priced with a six-year warranty, its running costs are generally low for home charging, though monthly finance deals may not be as competitive as some rivals.

Best for: Drivers seeking a well-equipped, high-performance electric saloon with a genuine long range and strong warranty.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising the absolute best infotainment user experience, maximum boot space (compared to hatchbacks), or the most competitive monthly finance deals.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Seal if: You're seeking a well-equipped, high-performance electric saloon with a genuine long range, a comfortable ride, and a strong warranty.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the absolute best infotainment user experience, maximum boot space (compared to hatchback rivals), or the most competitive monthly finance deals.

Competitive Position: The BYD Seal is a strong contender in the executive electric saloon segment, offering impressive performance, a long range, and an exceptionally generous standard equipment list. While it faces stiff competition from established rivals like the Tesla Model 3, Polestar 2, and Hyundai Ioniq 6, its attractive pricing, comprehensive warranty, and refined driving dynamics make it a compelling choice, especially for those seeking a value-packed EV. The infotainment system's usability and less competitive finance deals are minor drawbacks in an otherwise excellent package.
