468995967_122151439010363830_6972847532368053788_n.jpgThe BYD Seal is a medium size sedan that's full electric. There is a slightly different spec Seal , the DM Plug in Hybrid variant. For this review our test car is the fully electric BYD Seal Performance with a 88 kwh battery and a range of 580 kilometers .

It's AWD dual electric motor system propels the car from 0-100 kph in 3.6 secs . We never timed it , but flooring the accelerator feels like the hand of god is pressing your chest on the seat , yes the torque is there and it is amazingly quick . The car is stable, the ride is even better than the BYD Atto3 we currently have as our daily driver , the brakes are straight and true . It's quiet and refined . Definitely a premium ride .

The car from the outside looks neat , the lines are clean, the fastback makes it looks sleek.

Inside it's quite roomy , ingress and egress isn't a problem, even at the back where the roof line slopes a little. The finish of the interior is elegantly done , with materials that look and are soft to the touch . I was a bit concerned about the all glass tinted ceiling , we tested the car 1pm , it was quite hot outside but cool and comfortable inside , I do wonder longterm and stuck in traffic how this glass roof would affect temperature and cabin comfort. A friend said ceramic tinting the glass roof can be an option .

Over all , this car is a winner. A little smaller than it's brother the BYD Han and definitely bigger , much bigger than the BYD Dolphin.

Once again , I'm amazed at how EVs drive in general and how BYD in particular has designed and build such high quality cars.

Enjoy !
