It has a frunk! No idea why I said it didn't.
The BYD is the best EV I've ever driven
Agree. It's amazing!
I've covered 3000km in mine so far, super happy, no issues what so ever, great car.
Totally agree its all about personnal preference and use. I prefer the seal because of its look, physical buttons, the 360 view. Despite there's no planner, no one pedal drive, small trunk...The first time I saw it and then tried it, i just fell in love❤
Great to hear from an owner and as you say, no EV is perfect
@@NevoEVReviewIrelandhi mate, I have done test drive byd seal performance, I feel little continuous vibration on the steering wheel column (feels like not enough cushion on the front axle) especially when passing rough asphalt road or uneven road surface, please kindly share your experience regarding this matter
We love our BYD Seal Premium ❤ from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Your presentation style is the first Derek! Keyboard warriors is right... keep the chin up and keep punching and I'll keep watching and liking the vids. Nice practical insights by the way. That Seal is growing on me.
Nice BYD . Your video's are spot on and give an honest review to EV'S be they be good or bad . Keep doing what you do and thanks for your reviews.
The car looks great in black, it certainly emphasises the shape of the car.
The Seal is a lovely EV. My only concern was the booth, but Derek covered it well; it was nice to get measurements to see if it would make sense to go from a hatchback or with the Atto3 instead.
Happy to help
Hey mate, nice video. Iown a BYD Seal heaere in Australia and it definitely has a frunkn, with a ~50L capacity
It does here too. I was mistaken 😞
@@NevoEVReviewIrelandall good mate, love your videos! Happens to the best of us
Really impressive car, boot was too small for me sadly
Will watch the BYD brand with great interest going forward
THX the info. Today I will go and try one. Greetings from Hungary!
Derek, love watching your reviews, very comprehensive
I appreciate that!

Have done 4000km in my AWD now - love the driving experience (coming from an EV6) and the finish.
Great video i like it, keep puching and we keep supporting!
Love from Morocco
Great to see.
Thanks Derek
Des.
Thanks for the video. Saw this model recently at the EV exhibition in RDS... lovely motor
Hey Derek, great review. Well done on the product placement when discussing the cup holder. All I need now is the BYD Seal and a Nevo water bottle.
Well done Derek. Great to have an Irish EV youtube channel. Great videos and well done on the Nevo show really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it
We appreciate ya brother!
Better walk through than I received in the dealership!
Ahh - good to see the measuring tape out, Derek !
Gotta do the ground to boot-lip dimension too, Derek - Darwin won’t always be as agile !!
Here’s a sample of a few cars that were at your RDS show ( yes, the nutter that I am !!) :
- Boot lip heights -
Maxxus 680
MG4 730
Enyaq 730
Astra 760
Niro 760
308 770
Id4 780
Soul 800 (my car )
MG5 810
Megane 840
All approximate - I was trying not to be too intrusive on the day !
Wunderschönes Auto! 🥰
Thanks for your informative review Derek. Wondered if you could shed a little more light on the drivers seat and this thing of it moving back to give you more room to exit / enter. Can that be stopped? Had a Seal for a demo and I couldn’t see how to prevent it from potentially crushing the passengers feet. Is there a setting? Also can you stipulate a charging percentage to charge the car up to? I couldn’t find a way to do that. In fact to make matters worse I’d got the car set to charge from 12.30am to 4.30am and deselected charge to 100% and it still charged to full.
Coming from a tesla model S here so I’m used to being able to effectively schedule charging and / or set to a charge percentage. Loved the Seal though - a nice balance of model S and model 3 features. Just need better ways to get to some of the menu options and being able to silence ADAS better.
Can the simcard be switch to another? I have unlimited data and love to use that insted.
I am getting mine in a week here in Greece......Indigo grey Blue interior....AWD Would you think that the blue interior wich i will get mine will be more prone to dust etc? Can you clean it easily?
Something I noticed at the show was the design of the door handles makes it fairly easy to catch your fingers. Also other reviewers saying the KW dial on the dash is useless info that you really don’t need and you can’t change
I mean not not like you will actually be bothered by it
In the UK there's a 53L Frunk - doesn't the Ireland version not have that?
Yes we do - I don't think he was aware of it. I certainly have 53L up front, it's where I keep my granny cable.
@@AustinFoleywhat does your granny use the cable for?
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 staying alive!
@@AustinFoley oh! 😢My prayers to her. I mean her cables.
Does BYD Seal have camp mode or keep climate on? So you could keep climate on for several hours?
The screen for the panoramic roof is that thing in the boot. It’s a 2 piece screen which once fit is nice and tidy but a bit fiddly to fit so not really practical to fit and remove often.
BYD won the world championship 2023...in depreciation.
Hi Derek. Great video. Can you confirm the Dynaudio system is standard. I’m nearly sure it says so in the brochure
Pretty sure alright but would need to check with the dealer
hi mate, I have done test drive byd seal performance, I feel little continuous vibration on the steering wheel column (feels like not enough cushion on the front axle) especially when passing rough asphalt road or uneven road surface, please kindly share your experience regarding this matter
Getting it again soon and will test. What speed do you feel it?
@@NevoEVReviewIreland start from 50 km/h and higher
@@MHWibi Noted
Excellent review, thanks!! I've ordered one on the back of this - no pressure 🤪. Quick question - the one in your video has a blue lines inlay on the centre console around the lever - my showroom car didn't have that - any ideas? Thanks!
No pressure is right! Where are you based?
@@NevoEVReviewIreland England, 20 miles north of Heathrow
any thoughts on that console difference I mentioned?
I believe it's a cracking car
BYD. My dream EV car
I really like the Seal too
Black is really hard to keep clean but the black really looks the best on this design
Imagine that with Tan or Burgandy upholstery........with that black paint.
Ab......Fab.....
Oh wow! Totally Delicious.
Detroit studying BYD: They're in trouble.

Interesting
Looks like the left hand steering wheel stalk operates the wipers and the left one operated the lights , might take some getting used to, especially if you often drive another car
Cann golf bag with clubs fit in the trunk ?
its a cracking looking EV, sat into it at the rds show. I'm happy with my model 3 , but if i was looking now , it would be this, the model 3 highland or the refresh Y for the bigger boot, i wonder will BYD make a model y competitor? im sure it will be here soon enough
Byd model y competitor is already on sale in China.
Afternoon mate
Afternoon to you too!
How come its consumption is much bigger than model 3?
We need the estimated Ground Clearance with actual measurement.. from Front to the Back.. Because in my country, the ground clearance is very important
Same here. TH-cam channel Ludicrous Feed has all that info.
Android Auto is wireless OK Derek, but Apple CarPlay is wired only 👍
I'm sure you just said there's no frunk on the BYD SEAL....but there is?
There must be a frunk I remember, with a lit
Sorry, yea there's a frunk!
BYD Seal has a fronk as shown in several reviews. Unless the EU one is different for some reason?
It has a frunk, I was mistaken but thank you for the comment
Why is there a speaker in the boot? Is this some kind of modern torture mechanism?
There is a frunk in the BYD Seal??
Sorry yes there is!
@@NevoEVReviewIreland I knew there was but after watching the video I was thinking maybe not in the rwd version... Thanks for clarifying. I getting my first EV this year and I love the seal but with it being a saloon I don't think it will work for me.. I would like to see the seats down if you do another video.... And if you get any news on the seal U I'd be very interested.... Keep up the good work buddy
53L I think. It's small enough but it'll fit a day pack alright.
The nio is the best ev with battery swap station no wait 3 hours to charge and no worry about the battery
Agree with you about the sort of tribalism that pops up in the EV community. There are only so many shapes you can make a car that's are aerodynamic, so of course a lot of the newer cars are starting to look the same. Keep the great videos coming.
The Seal dies gave a 50l Frunk/Front.
I know it's hard to see on camera but that paint finish is fantastic!
I'm amused how this Seal looks most comparable to the old Renault Fluence ZE, without the massively awkward drop out battery hump
When is next EV show ? 😄
Announcement soon!
2:52 are you sure about that? Like absolutely sure?
Unfortunately I made a little mistake but thanks for pointing it out. Have a look at my other 2 reviews and I did better
@@DerekReillyIrlanything BYD Seal is a must watch for me. I'll be getting one in a country with zero charging infrastructure. Not that I need it. I'm off to watch your other reviews. Thanks!
There is a Frunk/Footh!! 🤦♂️
Yep, thanks for the comment. I made a mistake and pinned my comment to apologise
There is a frunk
Yes there is!
How far can electric cars REALLY go?? - we drive 12 until they DIE! Tesla, BYD & more | What Car?
What Car?
BYD > Tesla
Will be worth 5k in six months.
As a cheap budget yellow pack brand, should retail at 9,999 or less. A poor mans Tesla.
tesla may cry...
Could you test a Tesla Roadster Cheers mate
"there is no frunk in the byd seal"......you lost me right there with your inaccuracies.
Sorry to hear that. Please let me know where to send the refund
@@NevoEVReviewIreland there is a frunk in the SEAL.
I know. I made a mistake and I apologise. I've done 2 other videos if you'd like to look at them.
Sorry, does not dies.
The answer is: Tesla model 3.
What was the question?
“Does it come in Diesel” 🤦♂️
Resale value is rubbish stay away from electric cars .. stick with petrol ⛽️
Here is one practical question. Why should you buy a car with lackluster software, terrible efficiency and nothing to make it future proof at all over a Tesla.
Comfort, stalks, buttons, design, 360 camera, panoramic roof that handles heat better? Etc Tesla isnt better at everything.
@@UgglemannenFTW Tesla is way better at everything that matters. In a computer on wheels what matters is the software and the software in a BYD is really bad.
@@UgglemannenFTW only people from yesterday need stalks.
@@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726 In countries with roundabouts its just stupid having no stalks. Beside you are driving a car not playing on an tablet. I dont bother fiddling around with settings after I have set the settings I want.
You make infotainment a bigger problem than it is.
And way better at everything that matters so basicly infotainment? So you care nothing about comfort or it actually being a car? If you want to fiddle around with a tablet a Ipad is better at that.
@@UgglemannenFTW I think you have no clue what you are talking about and that you are stuck in the past. The Software defines everything not just infotainment. It defines safety and efficiency. The bms decides how efficient a battery is and the BYD software is so bad that they get worse outcomes from the same battery. Both the Seal and the model Y standard have the same BYD LFP battery. But the Tesla charges at 170kW while BYD don't dare to go above 150kW. Because they are just bad at software. Also they don't even try to solve FSD beacause the CEO thinks it's impossible. And you clearly don't need stalks even in roundabouts. It's all muscle memory. But you seem to be a loser who rejects all change and therefore is getting nowhere in life.
