BYD Seal 08 driving notes below use published English copy for comfort, performance and daily use.
Driving & performance
How the car puts power down and feels on the road.
- The daily driving experience is characterized by excessive power, providing a sense of security when overtaking; the motor's characteristics ensure smooth acceleration without any jerks.
- The acceleration performance may be slightly compromised when fully loaded or at low temperatures; this speed and thrust sensation may cause motion sickness in some passengers.
- Light and quick start, confident acceleration in the middle and later stages; strong acceleration ability at medium and high speeds, with sufficient power margin.
- Engine noise is noticeable during rapid acceleration
Cabin comfort
How the cabin is described for passengers on everyday roads.
- The front headroom is ample, and the wide-body design provides ample lateral space, but the low seating position may not be suitable for some users; the standard suspension offers both hard and soft adjustments, and the chassis provides excellent shock absorption in comfort mode, but there may be residual vibrations when encountering continuous bumps.
- With ample lateral space, long-distance driving is not cramped; the seat adjustment range is wide, suitable for various body types.
- The seating position is relatively low, requiring a slight bend to get in and out of the vehicle, which may not be considered elegant by female users.
- Sufficient head and leg room, spacious in the transverse direction; adjustable suspension hardness and softness, balancing comfort and support.
Space & practicality
How the car is described for daily errands and family use.
- The trunk volume is 508L, and it comes with an electric front trunk, making daily storage convenient. However, the opening is not large enough, limiting the placement of tall items; the CLTC is rated at 775km, but actual urban driving easily exceeds 600km, and highway range will be significantly reduced.
- The electric front trunk is a plus; the electric rear trunk with memory function is friendly to short people.
- The sloping roof design results in insufficient height for the trunk, requiring adjustments to the angle for placing potted plants or folding bicycles; the rear seats do not lay flat completely when folded.
- The pure electric range is actually sufficient, and the comprehensive electricity consumption is reasonable; the trunk volume is average, and the electric tailgate is convenient.
Smart tech & daily use
How the published notes describe software and driver assistance.
- The large screen displays clearly and supports split-screen functionality; OTA upgrades enable continuous optimization.
- Some third-party applications are not well adapted, resulting in abnormal display ratios; the screen is prone to fingerprints.
- Large screen with fast response, rich ecosystem; accurate recognition, supports continuous dialogue.
- Gaode map version is more conventional
