Note that contrary to the first info and contrary to how they sold the vehicle to customers, the BYD Seal does come with animal skin leather. Customers bought the vehicle expecting animal free leatherette while BYD did not offer consistent information.

BYD is an easy choice:
- instrument panel
- HUD
- Apple CarPlay
- Android Auto
- proper indicator stalks
- parking sensors
- more thigh support in every seat
- cheaper
- more space in the back
- more stylish
- longer warranty (at least here in Finland
- can charge it to 100% without any problems
- V2L

Hey viewer from Australia here! Ordered my Seal last night and watched this great review video! Can't wait to drive my own seal!

[freddoflintstono]

I think this one is substantially better looking than a Tesla Model 3, and better equipped. Impressive.

Is good that BYD remove the "Build Your Dreams" tag at the rear. They even removed the BYD tag here at the middle which is available in some markets. Rear look so much cleaner.

[cvzn]

They just announced the pricing for this in Australia and it undercuts the Model 3 by $12, 000! Incredible value given Thomas thinks it's still worth it if it was priced a little higher even.

[kittyhawk]

Great review, calm collected without any hint of brand bias! Well done. Thank you for sharing! 🎉

[balkanleopard]

Thanks for a very fair and informative review. Well done. I've test driven the Tesla Model 3 and didn't particularly like the handling / overall feeling. The Seal is now on my list. Thanks again.

[rebym]

Very good review. I saw a Seal when I was recently in China. It looks even better in real life than on video. Somehow they got the styling exactly right, it's much better looking than the Tesla. I hope they fix the low-speed sound issue, you're not the only one to complain about that. Should be doable via software.

[Slaphappy]

I live in Thailand and just bought a Tesla Model 3. 3 weeks later BYD launched the Seal 😂😂😂 This is a car i wouldve seriously considered.

[Fireblade-dfwj]

Thomas is great. He is not biased I like him 😊

[googleaccount]

Mercedes-Benz is using BYD Blade battery technology in some of their 2024 models.

[oliveryb]

The white seal 2023 version really stunning, the steering wheel, the taillamp is beautiful; but I like those legs on passenger seat more 😄

[henriqueoliveira]

One of the best car reviews I've ever seen. Very well done.

[juergenschmid]

Nice, informative and helpful review! Had atto3 for half a year, loved that, will def. get this one over the M3/Y, especially with family onboard.

[Carnormous]

US$36500 in Australia undercutting Tesla M3 by more than 20%. Lots of Sales domination at this price.

[ateiviz]

This is still the best review even with the flood of the more recent ones. Very concise and factual.

[juliantan]

Amazing review, one of the best reviews on the market of this car with good detail showing what people really want to know

[lucisleesion]

There is a Seal parking under my flat, it's gorgeous and stylish! I will certainly consider one next year when I move to Coventry.
