Our take on this /// Verdict

The BYD Seal Premium is a game-changer in the Indian electric vehicle market, offering a blend of luxury, performance, and practicality that is hard to match. From my experience, the Seal Premium stands out with its sophisticated interior, featuring high-quality materials such as leatherette surfaces, rich piano-black plastic, and metallic trim. The 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen is a highlight, though the buried AC controls can be a minor inconvenience. The cars power delivery is impressively smooth and progressive, akin to an internal combustion engine, making it a joy to drive in various conditions. With three drive modes and a comprehensive suite of safety features, including 10 airbags and advanced ADAS, the Seal Premium ensures both comfort and safety. Overall, it is a well-rounded package that makes a strong case for itself in the premium electric sedan segment.

Price

The BYD Seal Premium is priced at Rs. 45.55 lakh (ex-showroom, India), which is remarkably competitive given its features and performance. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other taxes, the price can escalate to around Rs. 50-52 lakh, depending on the state you are in. Despite this, the Seal Premium offers tremendous value for money, especially considering its luxurious interior, advanced technology, and robust performance. The pricing strategy makes it an attractive option for those looking to transition to a premium electric vehicle without breaking the bank.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 10 November 2024 06:31 AM The BYD Seal boasts impressive performance with its high-power electric motor, particularly in the four-wheel drive Performance variant, which can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. The car also features advanced technologies like the iTAC system for better torque control and the e-Platform 3.0 for enhanced safety and efficiency. I think the combination of performance and advanced technology makes the BYD Seal a compelling choice for EV enthusiasts.

Sunday, 10 November 2024 07:27 PM The BYD Seals design has been praised for its ocean-inspired aesthetics, including a unique X-shaped front end and double U-shaped light clusters. It has also won the iF Design Award, highlighting its superior design and innovation. The car features a panoramic sunroof, a 15.6-inch rotatable touchscreen, and a high-quality audio system. I believe the blend of style and functionality makes the BYD Seal stand out in the EV market.

Saturday, 17 August 2024 01:38 PM The 2025 BYD Seal is set to receive significant upgrades, including the integration of LiDAR technology to enhance its advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This update is expected to address one of the cars weaker points compared to its rival, the Tesla Model 3. The new model will also feature a redesigned interior with a four-spoke steering wheel, new color schemes, and advanced silicon carbide inverters. I believe these updates will make the BYD Seal a stronger contender in the EV market.

Monday, 15 July 2024 06:24 AM BYD has recently updated the Seal to include compatibility with Tesla V3 and V4 Superchargers, a significant improvement for users. This update, which required a hardware fix, ensures that all new Seal models can charge at any Tesla Supercharger open to non-Tesla vehicles. Existing models are also being updated through service centers. I think this move will greatly enhance the convenience and range anxiety reduction for BYD Seal owners.

Monday, 15 July 2024 09:19 PM The BYD Seal has undergone several software updates since its release, notably improving its ADAS systems. These updates have resolved issues such as constant beeping and aggressive lane-keeping assistance, making the driving experience much smoother. Additionally, features like wireless Apple CarPlay and improved heating and cooling controls have been added. I believe these continuous updates show BYDs commitment to customer feedback and improving their vehicles.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 03:06 PM The BYD Seal Premium boasts an impressive range of 650 km on a single charge, based on the WLTP cycle. In real-world conditions, especially in Indian driving scenarios, the range can vary. For city driving, owners have reported ranges between 590 km and 694 km, benefiting from regenerative braking. On highways, the range naturally drops, with reports of around 510 km on a full charge when driving at consistent speeds. This makes the Seal Premium highly suitable for both daily commutes and occasional long road trips, provided you plan your charging stops wisely. The availability of fast DC chargers at highway stops further enhances its practicality.
