Below we have mentioned the BYD Seal Pros and Cons in 2026 specially for those who are interested in buying the Seal, so that they are aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the Seal electric sedan. 

BYD Seal PROS:

• Performance is thrilling yet powerful, you just have to press the accelerator and the car just leaps forward. It can go from 0-100 km/hr in 3.7 seconds.
• Seamless acceleration at any speed and the mechanics deliver the perfect amount of power to prevent wheel spin, which is often caused due to extra torque provided instantly.

• Premium Interior quality, much better than the EV6.
• Driving position was spot on and felt quite comfortable to find our perfect driving position.
• Perfect Noise Insulation especially at high speeds was good.
• The low speed ride is soft, not too stiff, which is good for city commutes.

BYD Seal CONS:

• Over dependence on touch screen controls is irritating and dangerous while driving as it disturbs the attention of the driver, every time if he needs to change the setting of the car.
• It's shocking that a car of this size and power has lifeless steering. It is completely dead!! However, there could be an addition of extra weight due to steering modes, but it doesn't have any feel.
• If you leave the throttle pedal, the car still keeps accelerating for half a second. This feels extremely confusing and needs to be fixed via an update, as it has been felt multiple times.

• Ground Clearance is very low for Indian road conditions as users will need to care a lot to prevent its underbody. The worst part is that you have to be even more cautious with an EV as a normal scratch on the battery pack is enough to damage it as the manufacturer can deny warranty due to external damage.
• Very bad under thigh support for the front passenger and rear seats as the floor is high and seats are placed low.
• Ride at high speeds on the highway is not completely settled as the car should have adaptive dampers to fix this.

Should you Buy BYD Seal?

BYD Seal is surely a performance-oriented car but is not for everybody as it has a commanding performance but lacks driver involvement or fun. If you are looking for straight line acceleration and speed, the Seal is a perfect car for you, but if you want a more balanced car, you need to consider other options.
