- Test driving the new BYD Seal Premium on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.
The panoramic glass roof was cool to touch. Outside temperature was 26 degrees celsius.
Expert camera work by my 10 year old daughter.
Thanks @BYD_Telsa for the video inspiration. - Фільми й анімація
Thanks for the video. I just ordered the dynamic but am now pondering if I should upgrade to premium too. Most videos on YT by professional reviewers are on the awd performance model, so it's great to see a real person test driving the premium model.
Thanks! I'm sticking with my Dynamic order. I'm expecting the acceleration to not be as zesty but apparently it is still a fun drive.
Nice! I'm happy that reviews so far have been overwelmingly positive. I signing up for a lease on a performance here in Perth, demos are yet to arrive at BYD Perth but should be here in time for next weekend. Can't wait to finally have an actual look at the car. I had a Tesla a couple of years ago I sadly had to give up due to unforseen circumstances. I believe this will be close if not better than the M3.
Thanks for the video Andrew, I have a premium on order in Perth, its my first-time ordering on instinct/limited review/first switch to EV, justifiably nervous! What I had heard was good, but it is good to see it in an Aussie context. Solid youtube Duo!
Thank you! I was in the same boat - first EV, ordered on instinct etc. I've been itching to actually drive one for weeks so it was a relief and a pleasure to get behind the wheel this morning. You won't be disappointed!
I love my Atto, the power is strong than my husband LEXUS NX 300H, I think the Seal Dynamic is value for money, most people are using for driving to and from work and the 230 KW is more than enough. Congratulations 🎉
Great impressions video, and excellent camera work!
This randomly popped up on my feed and I must say I don't regret clicking on this. A pretty calming, video. Great insights and overall a good job, man. You got yourself a sub from India.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing
Nice video! We have a Seal Performance on order! Looks like it’ll be a great vehicle! Can’t wait for our Shark Grey to arrive! Thanks for the cool video!😊
thanks for the video, very informative
beautiful vehicle
Congrats to the camera girl and doing such a great job for Dads UA-cam content.
great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Intelligent cruise control
Thank you! Seems obvious now.👍🏼
One thing you get with Premium and Performance is the ventilated seats which you commented were very effective. The Dynamic is a synthetic material and you don't get front ventilated seats so you may feel a little toasty in the Sunshine Coast summer sun. I live in Cairns and have ordered the premium for 2 reasons...the extra range as I wanted a vehicle that will easily do Cairns to Townsville without having to stop to recharge and the ventilated seats. Really happy to hear how effective those seats were.
According to the brochure on the BYD website, all models have the ventilated seats. After experiencing them today, I’d be disappointed to not have that feature now. I agree the extra range would be worthwhile living in NQ. 👍🏽
@@Scud_TVI stand corrected. Just looked at the specs (again) and you are correct. Dynamic gets ventilated and heated seats though the heated seats will never be used up here. 😊
Just picked up my Dynamic today. Vented (cooled) seats work very well in it
@@mrmef92can you feel that the seats aren’t leather? Or is it a nice quality material?
❤Good review
nice ~
I ordered the Premium and can't wait to get it. I wonder if Australia gets the dashcam which is missing from many other countries or if we just order it separate. My daughter is a great little helper as well XD But she's not a teenager any more :)
I've heard we need to order it from Aliexpress.
Hey mate, great to see impressions of a punter and not an industry insider. Just a warning, careful not to have copywriten music playing too long. You could get flagged by UA-cam for it
i know someone who could be a better videographer...
To me i would prefer this to the M3 as I dont like the interior of the M3, though this car looks great now i hope the long term reliability is good as the warranty has a lot of its, buts and maybes in it.
Thanks for the review. Given what you want to replace, did you consider the Dolphin Premium?
Yes I do like the Dolphin as well. The reason I went for the Seal, however, is it has slightly faster charging and is generally more spacious and refined looking in the interior. It's a really great looking car.
Premium is actually a better deal.
Thank you. In the video I could not hear the pedestrian warning sound inside the cabin. Have BYD updated it? One thing I noticed with the HUD is that it is washed out if your wearing polarized sunglasses. It didn't stop me putting a deposit down on an AWD version. Nice happy video.
Cheers! Surprisingly I couldn't hear the pedestrian warning when I was driving. Enjoy your car! It's a beauty!
@@Scud_TV when I get the car in January I will keep you updated. Hopefully the sound has been lowered here for the Irish market.
@@Scud_TV I’ve done some BYD nerd research. Turn out they have done an update on the pedestrian warning sound. This was done after customer feedback. They’ve also adjusted the sensitivity of the parking sensors.
@@MosesKaldor thank you! Excellent research!
The Pedestrian Warning or AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems) is hidden in the shortcut menu on the main screen and is disabled by default.
Dynamic has 150kw motor, premium has 230kw motor. There is a big ecceleration difference
Hi Greg. I know you are right. I just hope the Dynamic is still a fun drive. The reviews of it that I have seen suggest it still has impressive pick-up.
True but the base mode is still faster than most Mazda 3s, Corollas and i30s. How much acceleration do you really need to keep yourself out of trouble?
150 kw still feels strong in an ev. one of the mg4 models has 150kw and it feels nice and powerful.
it will still feel strong
@@I_dont_want_an_at was that the MG4? I tested one of them a few weeks back and it was quite zippy.
just get dynamic.
u can add custom HUD later.. save u 10.000$
i myself get premium (aurora white), because i need that extra Acceleration and range Oomph (5,9sec, 650km)
performance is too much 😱
ICC Intelligent Cruise Control.
I just test drive both byd seal and tesla model 3 new one and i just like tesla better because tesla was more smoother and more instant response whereas in byd it was bit delay plus steering was more direct and also safety things on byd was very annoying so on the software wise tesla is way better. But byd is better on physical control plus more range in premium than rwd plus 3000 cheaper
Tesla for me but it just me maybe
I wonder if Aussies will regret supporting China when they take over Australia?
ICC = Intelligence (adaptive) Cruise Control
