Quick Summary

The BYD Seal is a mid-sized electric saloon that offers a compelling alternative to established rivals like the Tesla Model 3. With an impressive 354-mile range from its 82.5kWh battery and prices starting under £46,000, it provides excellent value in the electric vehicle market. The car features a sleek design, generous standard equipment, and a comfortable driving experience that makes it an attractive option for electric car buyers.

BYD's expertise in battery technology shines through in the Seal, with its innovative 'Blade' battery pack offering safety and efficiency. The car comes in two variants - a rear-wheel-drive 308bhp model and an all-wheel-drive 523bhp version - providing options for different driver preferences. Despite some minor drawbacks like an occasionally frustrating infotainment system, the Seal represents a strong entry into the competitive electric saloon segment.
