BYD Seal

¡¾Driving Experience¡¿
In terms of the car - using experience, the car's range is okay, the handling is very strong, and both the car and the in - car infotainment system are highly intelligent. When driving on the road, it has plenty of power, which is really exciting.

¡¾Travel Experience¡¿
When it comes to traveling, my friends all say the car looks cool when they see it. I feel that it's quite convenient to charge new energy vehicles these days. I've driven on the highway and didn't feel any charging anxiety. Moreover, it's very convenient to charge at the company.
The low cost of traveling by electric vehicle really makes me want to go on a trip. There's a fuel - powered car at home. Anyway, it's really annoying to drive. It doesn't even have a 360¡ã camera, and it's an SUV, which feels so rigid. The BYD Seal is really cool and very suitable for young people.
The interior space is more than enough. The front and rear rows and the trunk are all very spacious. For a person with a height of 178cm, it's very comfortable to sit in both the front and rear rows. I often sit in the car playing with my phone. Since it's an electric vehicle, there's no need to worry about the power consumption when turning on the air - conditioner.

¡¾Charging Time¡¿
I tried charging. It takes about 8 hours for slow charging and 12 hours for home charging. I haven't tried fast charging yet. I really can't understand many people who talk about charging anxiety of electric vehicles. There are charging piles at both my home and company parking spaces. Isn't this much more convenient than going to a gas station? And it's really cheap. For an 80 - kWh battery, including the loss, it costs about 100 yuan to fully charge it, which is basically 0.1 yuan per kilometer.

Finally, I have to say that after buying the car, when I argued with people online, I found there were quite a lot of old - fashioned people. Buying early means enjoying early, while buying late might get you some discounts. It depends on personal views. Personally, I'm quite satisfied with it.

¡¾Space Performance¡¿
The overall seating space is quite good. After all, it's a Class B car! I've compared it with the Tesla Model 3 and XPeng P7. The front-row seating space of the three cars is about the same, and the main difference lies in the rear row. Among the three cars, the rear seat of the Seal is wider than those of the other two, making it much more comfortable to sit in. The rear space is also relatively spacious. People with a normal height below 1.8 meters won't feel cramped when sitting. The skyroof design on the top and the CTB design at the bottom make the longitudinal space of the whole car fairly ample. Of course, this is only compared with other fastback sedans and can't be compared with SUVs. I often take a lunch break in the car at noon, listening to music and enjoying the air conditioning. It's really great to have a corner to rest during work! And it's an electric car, so there's no need to worry about fuel costs! In terms of storage space, the trunk has a decent depth, but due to the fastback design, the height is a bit insufficient. Fortunately, there's also a front trunk where infrequently used items can be placed.

¡¾Intelligent Performance¡¿
After OTA, it has the intelligent power-on and power-off function, which is quite convenient. Voice control supports consecutive voice commands, and the recognition rate is relatively accurate. Other functions such as automatic light sensing, 360-degree panoramic image, and automatic opening following the turn signal are basically all available, and they are very convenient to use. It supports multiple ways to unlock the vehicle, such as mobile phone NFC key, card key, and App remote unlocking, which is quite convenient. Generally, you only need to bring your mobile phone when going out. You can remotely turn on the air conditioning in advance in summer and winter. The tablet screen can be rotated and split-screened, which has high practicality.

¡¾Endurance¡¿
This is the most concerning issue for everyone when it comes to electric cars. The marked endurance of my car is 650 km. From my actual use, in spring and autumn in the urban area, the endurance is basically about 550 km, and in winter and summer, it's basically about 500 km. When driving on the highway, it's advisable to control the one-way distance to about 400 km and then charge the car. The endurance achievement rate of the Seal really isn't good, which is also a point that many car owners complain about.

¡¾Driving Experience¡¿
It takes 6.9 seconds to accelerate from 0 - 100 km/h. The handling of this car is okay, and the steering is relatively accurate. Although it's a single-motor version, it can still outperform many fuel cars at the start. Turning and changing lanes are very flexible and stress-free. The double-wishbone suspension at the front provides good support for the body during quick lane changes and large-angle turns. The overall posture of the car is relatively stable, and there won't be a feeling of overturning.

The exterior looks quite good. Regarding the interior, as this is my first car, I considered many options during the car - buying process. In comparison, it's not bad. Since it's the top - of - the - line model, the quality is also quite good. The only available color is Pontoon Black. The problem with black is that it gets dirty easily, which is a bit of a hassle.

In terms of voice intelligence, you basically have to say the standard words for the desired function to trigger it. It seems that there is still room for improvement in this area.

Regarding the battery range, I'm in Xining where it's quite cold. When the battery is fully charged, the actual range is about 70% of the rated range, reaching around 420 - 430 kilometers.

The comfort of the chassis is quite good. The acceleration and handling feel great! I've experienced the forward and backward collision avoidance emergency stops in the underground parking lot. There was a strong sense of jerk, which was a bit scary. However, considering it's for safety purposes, it's still acceptable.

I haven't tried the intelligent assisted driving yet. The automatic parking function is quite good. In most cases, it parks the car well. There have been one or two instances of unexplained pauses during parking and one case where the car was parked at an angle. It might be because it's a new car and there were some operation mistakes (I accidentally stepped on the brake during the parking process).

Oh, by the way, it took exactly one month from the time I placed the order to the time I picked up the car. Overall, I'm quite satisfied.
