@@deanliu5378, sure, same for all other EV. Even my previous car, Toyota Camry Hybrid also have lesser mileage as it gets older.

​@boonchewchan8245 hi. Im using cross hybrid. Do u really recommend BYD seal? Im travel alot KL Penang. How much it cost to fully charge the seal?

@@haffizul517, whether or not to go for EV depends on your travel needs. If you are travelling in Klang valley with daily travelling less than 450km per day and has the infrastructure of home charging, I think you should have no problem to go with BYD Seal premium version and yes I would recommend that you get one. If you need to travel long distance such as traveling to Penang and your house in Penang has the infrastructure to charge and you can charge it overnight, then I would say you have no problem on owning BYD Seal. From my records, if you are using home charging, BYD Seal is only marginally cheaper to run compared to Toyota Camry Hybrid. If you are charging outside with fast charging, then the running cost per km basis may be higher than that of Toyota Camry Hybrid with the current low Petro price in Malaysia. I do not know Toyota Cross Hybrid fuel efficiency but I tend to believe that it is not far from that of Toyota Camry Hybrid. Interior wise, BYD Seal looks more premium than even the current model Toyota Camry, let alone Cross Hybrid. Unless your travel pattern is such that you need to go outstation very often and always on the rush, otherwise I would say EV is another experience and should be a good option.

@@boonchewchan8245 good explanation.. tq so much.. you think the after sale value for BYD is good or not?

how much did BYD pay you

​@@john5189how much did Tesla pay YOU?

@@john5189says some clueless who never tried out the car.

@@john5189 , Didn't he indicated? 180K

To save cost, obviously. Less parts, cheaper to make, more profit.

Tesla will back to buttons for sure, because euro ncap already stated buttons are compulsory to ensure 5-star ratings

prepare go to fully autopilot 😊

been driving ICE for past 25 yrs, i got used with Tesla gear and indicators usage in 1-2 days time. now, me and my wife eager and often fighting to get chance in driving the car. tesla getting new features and updates every 2 months. i am still fascinated by the whole new driving experiences delivered through this piece of tech on mobile. fun fact. there are buttons for Tesla gear

@kennygan1001 but still BYD have better durability, more practical, more safer and also lesser worries than driving Tesla

Thanks! Really appreciate the kind words.

​@@hafrizshah4937hi mate which suspension is more soft and comfortable between seal premium type or seal performance type ? the performance got FSD Freq Selective Dampers

在中国丰田+本田+日产 销量=BYD

@@dcwtf09 The Japanese cars in Thailand have higher specs than in Malaysia; like the models for Europe. That is what I have experienced with Mazda since 2008.

@@dcwtf09 Toyota and Honda are still very strong. I don’t think that they will leave Thailand (soon).

Why I will not buy the BYD Seal right now ... *Blunt throttle response which is noticeable in all modes. *Hated the turn indicator sound and various chimes, it was a pain. *No built-in maps and navigation, which is a big miss for a car in this segment. *The software was a bit buggy. *Most of the controls are through the main screen, which is a major distraction and a safety concern. *HUD is useless in bright light and only displays current speed. I would have preferred a proper instrument cluster; this one is small and is busy with too much information on a small screen. Though I didn’t scrape anywhere, it will be a pain on slightly larger speed breakers and on bad roads.

@@calvinadelrick so you buy tesla?

⁠@@Armanyadi.Jaafarya I think he’s Tesla fanboy. Bodoh ni org.

Tesla salesman got no sales commission like BYD sales men. Those who can afford Tesla got lots of spare to spend. Why bother? You shall get one BYD yrself if you like it so much.

@@JohnLee-ev5hh . I haven't heard a salesman not getting commission. If he only gets a salary, then why is he incentivized? Or is he a person who works for free for Elon Musk?

Sure yeahh… Have a look at the best selling car models in the world. It’s there for a reason. Boomers.

because of the factory tire, the factory tire is equip for eco instead of performance

Been my experience as well

Hi, yours is a premium or perfomance?

@@abubakar-lw7lr Premium............................

Hi Adam, can i ask how is the battery faring? the battery life depreciation? and how often d you charge to 100%?

@@benlyng8 --- Hi Ben..................My Seal? Currently, 25K on the clock, 6 months on the road. The battery is charged regularly once a week till 100%. I have not noticed any depreciation in the battery life yet.

they want to be apple so bad.

It's not bad. The Model 3 has slightly more headroom, but the Seal bench is more comfortable with far more legroom. The floor is relatively lower compared to the Tesla too

I've heard reports that the performance model is essential rwd in eco mode

But still BYD have better durability, more safer, lesser worries, more practical and also got lots of interior details than Tesla. Don’t forget that Tesla will not be qualified as EURO NCAP Safety Rating when kicks in 2026

⁠​⁠@@thecompressor9595Disagree with everything u just mentioned. I personally find BYD lacking and there’s nothing that I missed from all the past ICE cars I have owned now that I’m driving a Tesla model Y. Tesla model Y is the best selling EV in the world for various good reasons. Pls test drive as many EVs as you can for a fair comparison.

@janzguy Disagree cause you don’t know much on why Tesla can’t beat BYD in terms of safety. Also if you test between Tesla and BYD, your story will be totally different

lol, the rear seats of Tesla are torture chambers, everyone knows that. In terms of comfort, seal is 10x better than Tesla model 3.

@@emilylimsl9884 I like how BYDs supporters get defensive. That’s fine :)

Yes, but indirectly 800V architecture also allows for faster charging - as seen on other 800V EVs such as the Ioniq 5/6, Taycan, e-tron GT, but not the Seal.

P=VI Increase voltage or current will result in faster speed.

@@hafrizshah4937 Yes. Ultimately it is down to the battery cell specification. Not all battery cell are created equal. Some can handle more C rating than the other. Nominal cell voltage for LFP is 3.2v and 3.6-3.8v for NCM/NCA anyway. Even if you pack it as 800v instead of 400v, it is still the same cell. You still have to charge according to the cell limit. That is the case for the byd seal battery.

BYD never prioritise on fast charging. It's just their style. Just like how Toyota never prioritise on making fast car with high horsepower.

​@@hafrizshah4937hi mate, a does the FSD Frequency Selective Dampers in seal performance make the car more comfortable (more soft) or the other way around ?

in Thailand both Tesla and BYD seal(Spec by Spec) is more expensive than Malaysia.

Yes, BYD Atto and Dolphin sucks. Felt like on pillows. BYD Seal blew my mind. Firm but pliant ride quality. Reminds me of VW Passat and Arteon. Perfect German ride and handling standard. Not there yet but pretty close.

Lots of people have done way more than 10000km in Australia already. Build quality never lose to German cars. Euro NCAP 5 star which is full marks. Extremely safe. Same for BYD Atto 3, Seal, Dolphin, Tang, and Seal-U. Al Euro NCAP 5 stars.

The host owned a C class. So it is fair for him to said that.

you are dinosaur

Tapi dari segi maintenance cost dan durability, selamat beli jenama lain dan jenama brand ni daripada Tesla

I guees around 300km..I will try it in 10 days with the seal awd and I will get back to you..

Fully agreed. The trade in value would make the heartbeat of a person miss a few beats

Depends. But compare between Tesla and BYD, in terms of durability and maintenance cost, BYD is more worth and safer than buying Tesla.

even audi cars are getting plasticky.. so this seal stands out alot for me.. =)

But comes about servicing, including going to workshop and also repairing Tesla in case of damage, did you think still worth than BYD when too expensive to repair, difficult to find Tesla service center and also many problems than BYD?

Do let me know which parts of this review you think is "paid"

If you don’t like it then you don’t buy. No one will force you.

So, you are real people or just another bot?

@@notagain2856 robotech bot. Now give me your bitcoin bot!

Our seal is cheaper than Australia price. Australia have dynamic spec which is low spec we dont get.. as range is quite low

All car brands with infortainment touch screen have problems. No cars are perfect. But at least not as worst as Mercedes where Mercedes have so many lagging issues

@@esk4105 how you know all cars have problems? you tried all cars?

You will know omce you test all new cars when have touch screen (Been carfan for many years)

But better than Tesla where Tesla have durability issues and also too expensive to maintain compare to this brand and other brands. No wonder Tesla rank behind this brand and the rest of the brands

But you will regret once you found that too expensive to maintain and also got lots of issues where tesla ranks behind the rest of the brands including this brand

Purely in the city, max effort to drive as efficiently as possible, then yes, it can be done, as mentioned.

@@hafrizshah4937 unlike ICE car, driving that saving fuel in ICE mostly not apply to EV, as long you drive slow EV will be very efficient. If you use in Highway, ICE car will be more fuel efficient compare to the city, but EV will more efficient in the city driving. So in general, if you driving in the city not aggresive, NEDC range will normally can be achieve.

@@Yenhongsin77 haha yes, I'm well aware of that - I own an EV myself. But even then, matching the full NEDC claim is an unrealistic target unless it's purely in the city, making full use of regen, etc.

@@hafrizshah4937 probably you accelerate a lot and brake 😅 normally, of course the other factor is if you're in a lot of traffic, the AC will use the energy from battery. Probably depend where you're live and I don't know the normal habit of Malaysian driver, so probably your experience can represent average Malaysian.

People who buy EV already knew that. If you concern about resales value that means you need to work harder to earn more and feel nothing about the resale value.

Fully agree. Same in Australia. Those around 18 months can’t even fetch 50% of sticker price

But also Tesla not durable and not cheap to repair for Tesla. Not as good as BYD. Even technology and interior for BYD also better than Tesla

Tesla does have a faster ac charging, if someone always use 11kw charger, for normal home user who do not have 3 phase electricity, it will be 7kw max.

@@mrjeremyc6231 what technology that you thk BYD is better then tesla? can you tell more on this? i was also considering it, thanks

Resale value plummeted for all EV cars not only china EV cars

Never - not with lack of quality and lack practically details and lack of ergonomics.

Good luck. Also not cheap to repair and also not durable for tesla. Worst than BYD

@@mrjeremyc6231 I used BYD solar power inverters twice and first lasted six years and the second, four years only. So I don’t trust BYD products anymore. Did you use any BYD product before? My son drives and owns a Tesla Y. He found it very reliable. He left the car with 90% battery charged for almost one month, and when he returned home the car still has 88% battery level.

Cringe af

Lol yet tesla is so fxxk now laying off almost 20% of their staffs worldwide

I prefer the Seal because of more comfort, better quality and also a far more better customer support (in Thailand).

Just search BYD battery test and you will find how advanced iand safe its battery is.

@@derekwampum8861 do you know if you puncture the blade battery horizontally instead of vertically, it will still burns?

@@chickenchopfriedrice Do you know that if you do this to any battery, it burns. But BYD battery did better in other circumstance while other batteries did not.

@@derekwampum8861 tell me how likely it is for a nail to puncture through the battery protective layer while driving. so the test is just marketing gimmick

@@chickenchopfriedriceByd is using LFP battery and it is proven safer than NMC battery. The drawback of LFP is less energy density than NMC. If you still think BYD battery not safe then don’t take any EV car. You can take ICE car always. But let’s don’t think about the hydrogen car coz it is more dangerous than any EV battery, it blast not flame.

I don't think top speed is relevant at all in Malaysia.

Are you the Honda city owner who caused the waja terbalik in highway accident?

@@hafrizshah4937 very relevant as many malaysian drive fast

Not so really. And also few people drove more than 180km/h though

@@foreverl6751 you statement resembles your dumbness. Try harder

Not at this price point. Every comparable german car costs alot more.

Exactly, 330i n c300 can do 250kmh easily but seal will only pull you until 180kmh only. Kinda pathetic

@@MH-tg2ng Theres no stretch of road in MY that legally allows you to travel at 250kmh, let alone 180kmh unless you can't wait to graduate from life itself.
