Some owners and editors have praised the build quality of the BYD Seal, insisting it's as good as it is with any established luxury brands. All this has kicked off conversation about whether the build quality of Chinese automakers like BYD is truly up to par with their traditional luxury marques counterparts. The debate often revolves around panel gaps, interior materials, sound insulation and overall fit and finish. While some believe the Seal's quality compares favorably to or is even better than similarly priced European luxury cars, others doubt long term durability and consistency between production runs. The question explores how Chinese automotive manufacturing quality is perceived and whether brands like BYD are changing long standing stereotypes.
