Is the BYD Seal’s value proposition worth overlooking issues of brand recognition and resale value?

It’s a valid concern, but with how quickly EVs are improving, I’m going to absolutely drive this thing into the ground.
Is the driving experience of the BYD Seal too "ICE-like" for EV enthusiasts?
02 January 2025 06:54
Actually I do like the more familiar driving feel. Not everyone wants to go back and relearn how to drive because they switched to an EV.

Disagree. That whole point of an EV is to go with new tech and new driving styles. It just feels like the Seal is stuck in the past.

It's a smart move by BYD. This is not about EV enthusiasts, this is about the mass market. It will help more people switch.

I test drove one and was disappointed that it didn’t have one pedal driving. The Seal misses out on this one of the best features of EVs.

Everything else about the driving experience is fine, but I wish they'd let me choose between traditional and EV-enthusiast drive modes.

Familiar feel of the Seal was reassuring as a long time ICE driver. That made the transition to an EV much less daunting.

BYD is playing it too safe. Instead, they should be doing what electric cars can do that gas cars cannot.

The Seal felt solid, and I was shocked. I remember the old E-Class Mercedes and the thud of the door.

It's good build quality, but we're not getting carried away. It's still not quite up to Audi and BMW level.

My Seal has tighter panel gaps than my colleague's Model 3. Clearly BYD is bringing their A game.

It may start out with good quality, but I doubt it will last in the long term. Let's see how these will hold up 5 years from now.

The Seal’s interior materials are seriously premium. At 60% the price, 90% of the way to a 5-Series BMW.

The quality is being overhyped by people. For the price it's good, but if you look closely there's still some cheap plastics.

As a former owner of both “premium” and mainstream brands, I believe that the Seal is punching well above its weight class in terms of quality.

For the city driving, it's more than enough. But you don’t need to win drag races on your commute.

I have test driven one, and it seemed peppy enough for daily use. Electric motor's instant torque helps a lot in traffic.

It may have trouble on highways or with a full load. At higher speeds I would be worried about merging or overtaking.

People have to get their expectations right. This is not a Tesla, it's an affordable city car. The performance is fine for what is would have been used for.

I think it's underpowered. EVs should not be worse than ICE cars, they should be better. That's a step backward, in that sense.
