Is the BYD Seal's infotainment system the deal breaker for tech savvy buyers?

by @ashutosh.kumarover 1 year ago0 views7 answers
One of the main complaints about the BYD Seal's infotainment system has been that it's terrible. On paper, the hardware specs are impressive — there's a large touchscreen and digital instrument cluster — but some users have reported problems with the software's responsiveness, the user interface and feature set relative to Tesla or well established luxury brands. That has sparked debate about the importance of infotainment systems in modern EVs, and whether BYD's offering is good enough for tech savvy buyers who want a smooth digital experience. Areas up for discussion include smartphone integration, voice commands, how frequently an infotainment system gets over the air updates, and the learning curve with new infotainment systems.

Sometimes the responsiveness can be laggy on the screen, but a reboot usually fixes that. There's no deal breaker.

I’m coming from an older car where the infotainment is pretty good. It's all relative, I guess.

It’s very hit or miss with the voice commands. A tech brand like BYD should have done better.

It's not as slick as some competitors, but it works. It’s also been improving with updates, plus.

It's annoying there's not built in navigation, but Android Auto works well enough for me.

In fact, I like BYD’s simpler interface. Not everyone has to have an iPad on wheels.

The screen is cool rotating, but the UI seems clunky compared to my old Tesla. It's definitely the weak point of the Seal.
