hi Lars, also loving to listen to you in English. Are you Swedish? Your sense of humour is very appreciated on these videos as well!!!

Very good review, albeit the title a little clickbaitish. Serious flaws? As an owner, 1st EV, an annoying aspect is how the range data is in Kw / 100klms, and the power remaining is in % terms. So one has to mentally calculate the % remaining of the 82.5kw and convert that to kilometers. Am hoping BYD will allow users to change these readouts to Ws/kilometer and kilowatts remaining / used. In saying that, on a motorway at 110k/h I have used 16kws/100klms = 6.25klms/Kw = 82.5Kwhrs x 6.25 = 515 klms So 500+klms = 100% = 5klms/1%. So the calculation isnt difficult just takes getting used to like most of the tech issues raised.

To expensive 💀

BYD Dolphin is my choice because as you say I'm mostly driving in the city. The car's gotta be comfy, handle potholes well and have a 360 camera for parking. Charging isn’t great but it's pretty flat and I've found driving a Leaf I want slightly longer charge stops than its 15-20 minutes.

If you want an X1 buy a petrol one. The EV is absolutelly not there because of range mostly.

Would it be compatible would the previous generation of Invertor or cascading with the luna s0.

But what about battery technology? Which is the best car?

Strange, your mileage only 334km for a full charge ?

If want to buy it and sell + installed it's can I do it in Cambodia 🇰🇭 thanks you

Great review. One of the best I have seen so far. Keep up your good work! (Curious to see the long term reliability of the M3 2024)

TESTED all 4 cars, Audi e-tron, Skode enyaq, Bmw ix1 and Vw id4.......... went for the skoda enyaq coupe sportline plus 4 wheeldrive,it was a Amazing drive and Spec! And iv been driving Bmw and vw cars all my life!! Skoda up the game with there spec.

With all the speed restriction we're having these days, no need to spend so much money for the bigger engine. Better spend it on options inside of the car. You don't buy such an EV for speed and acceleration I think anyway.

I test drove the RWD here in Chennai, where BYD now has as assembly plant the atto3 and ev6 r assembled here and the seal is a CBU at this stage… the car is planted and has good paper … it puts a lot of sports cars to shame… check my review here

Fantastic review

Buddy, start editing out the word Google when you say "okay Google". I had to skip a whole section of your video because you kept seeing off my home system

Charger flaps like the Renault Zoe from 10 years ago. Why can't others do the same

oh dear the bmw i3 was a purpose built ev this is just a fossil car conversion, NO REX No Thanks i have a bmw i3 rex which is a proper ev with no downside, public charging is not for me , playing hunt the charger that may not not work, perhaps a queue then waiting to charge , i drive a car to suit me not me suit the car so for me the i3 rex is perfect .

If only Polestar would update the interior so the center console isn't full of wasted empty space.

The Polestar 2 and BMW i4 are in the same category, but I don`t think the Tesla model 3 is. The Tesla is cheaper in design and quality, so it`s more comparable to the VW I.D 3 or KIA E-SOUL. For me looking to purchase this Polestar I was also looking at the BMW i4, Mercedes EQA and Mustang MACH-E. Tesla model 3 did not come close to any of these in my opinion.

300km

I am glad that I will buy it in a fully loaded GT Line with six seats and relaxation package.

A very cool car, and it does have a frunk! That's great! Having a frunk gives well designed EV vibes unlike other cars that don't seem to be designed to be EVs from scratch but ICE platform adapted instead.

Well if it's based on looks, then it's no contest. The MG4 is sharp, masculine, well proportioned, and resolved. The Dolphins design is ruined by it's clumsy front end and looks like 3 different designers were responsible for the front, sides and rear. Although the Dolphins interiors has better quality materials, it's quirky design will put a lot of people off. MG4 is more conventional and has way better packaging.

We drove the Premium model, which is the middle model in the line up in Australia. It was very good, however I thought the Polestar 2 single motor long range was a better drive. It came down to price and the BYD is hard to beat beat at its price point. When it came to a novated the lease the BYD does not offer any discount, where the Polestar offered very generous deals. The Polestar will get my business. I am not a fan of fixed pricing.

Not an extra point for the karaoke on board? Bummer!

Good review. I recently bought the BYD Seal AWD and I am very happy so far. It's a great car, far superior to my previous ICE car. I am getting a much better range when driving ECO and not exceeding 100km/h on the highway. Mixing in with urban traffic I can get to a 500 km range for a full charge. Android Auto works fine without the cable.

Finally someone really testing the eDrive20... not the big one. And in addition this video is a thorough and informative test that really was missing up to now! Thanks!!!

A neat feature on the Dolphin is that a digital clock appears on the main screen after pushing the volume rotary dial!

Crap car, better to stay away from it. Not to mention the amount of depreciation...rather extreme.

Thank you for this comparison however I think it would have been better to compare the 2 wheel drive version of the MG4 with pricing & warranty information. What you have done here is compared a hot hatch to a city car.

A New Zealand reviewer got about 600km for the same car at highway speeds of around 100km/hr.

Your accent is intriguing. Can you tell me your nationality, and where grew up. I’m hearing Dutch with time in USA maybe. Or possibly Spain with school time internationally ? Very good flowing English is second language.

Great review - very detailed. I've always wondered why car reviewers don't review night driving as the headlights are an extremely important part of the car, and you completely overlook that aspect. I hear there is an autonomous high beam assistant like on the BMW. I wonder how well it works.

Great review! We'll done 👍

th-cam.com/video/4N_0qB13Kkc/w-d-xo.html Range in Australia around 450kms and efficiency of 14.4kWh per 100kms

Does anyone know what’s the ground clearance with the M suspension ?

Nice review. How about trip like this with the Renault Megane e-tech 60kw battery? Just an idea! 😊

My BMW i£ has a frunk...

Nice review. Note that the small delay in gas pedal input is a feature not a bug, at least in China people prefer this as it otherwise makes passengers sick ... so it's a comfort issue. But sure, there should be a setting for that ideally, perhaps also adding one pedal driving .. both could be easily OTAd.

Electric cars that don’t offer single pedal driving are just dumb. I get people have preferences, but make it a software option, it’s not that like there is a mechanical reason for it in an ev.

Great bloody car

Please tell me that little Renault companion can be female…? …. 🤔

I checked in showroom. The Doors closed with a solid clunk like a German car. Can owners comment on this aspect?

If you hammer a petrol car along at 120km/h you won’t get anywhere near the claimed range (consumption) either! As a Model 3 owner I have some comments having extensively test driven both the Premium (single motor 82kWh) and Performance (dual motor 82kWh) Seal versions. The Seal is a “Grand Tourer” (Gran Turismo you called it). The BYD engineers have set the acceleration response and regenerative braking for comfort and smoothness. And to drive like a conventional automatic transmission instead of one pedal driving, which they believe is more efficient. The initial part of the brake pedal movement is still regenerative. One pedal driving in a Model 3 can be very uncomfortable for passengers if the driver is unskilled (or uncaring). Tesla has sacrificed material to save weight and the Model 3 feels noticeably flimsier than the Seal, both inside and out. Effectively the Seal is carrying the equivalent of 3 extra adults around. But the Seal feels more “premium” than the very spartan Tesla. I agree the Seal would benefit from having a warning chime when the Auto-steer disconnects and have the speed sign warning being visual rather than aural. These are both features of the current Tesla software standard and would be easy to implement in the Seal by way of an update. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are both wireless in the Seal in my country (NZ). The fact the Seal has a driver’s display, HUD and indicator stalk is a plus in my book. That you compared it to the BMW, Hyundai and Polestar instead of just slavishly comparing to only the Tesla Model 3 is to your credit because I believe the Seal is more competition to those other cars. My test drives produced consumption of 142Wh/km for the single motor and 148Wh/km for the dual motor Seal over my standard 60km route (Tesla Model 3 is 130Wh/km over same route). It is mixed driving, so for the Performance model you drove I am likely to achieve 500+ km. Of note also is BYD have just announced the “Blade 2” battery with 180Wh/kg instead of 140Wh/kg for the current Blade Battery. So that would mean a range of 700km if they stick with the same weight battery, as well as retaining the advantages of the LFP chemistry.

BYD Dolphin has LFP battery and can be charged to 100% not recommended on the NMC battery in the MG4 64Kwh and thats a big factor too consider too

i have the eDrive 30 M sport version, I can get 16.8 kw/100km in B mode. the only thing i see problem is the parking assist, it is really quite hit and miss.

Prefiero oírte en inglés. Another wonderful video. Keep it up mate.

Tesla is best

Latest update the speed warning will not reset after car turn off. If using sport mode, the kwh will be higher even if you babied the padel. For good efficiency better to use normal or eco.

Excellent review! So much depth!
