    Smooth Ride with the BYD Seal 

    I bought the BYD Seal a few months ago and took it on a memorable trip from Delhi to Jaipur. The 550 km electric range really more than enough to relax my range anxiety. But downside is the absence of a sunroof, which would have been a nice addition in such a premium electric sedan. Overall, the Seal is a fantastic vehicle for eco conscious travelers who mostly stick to well connected urban areas.

    quite convenient 

    Byd Seal is one of the most convenient and efficient models in the segment of electric vehicles. With great performance and promising smooth ventures, it is affordable too. The best part is that it is easy to maintain. I have recently switched from my old model ertiga to byd seal and i can totally see the difference on which i would suggest others to give it a test drive and see the magic themselves.

    Seal sophistication 

    The BYD Se­al is an electric car I've drive­n for some time. It's an affordable option for pe­ople who want to drive gree­n. The inside fee­ls roomy and the car handles nicely on the­ road. This makes trips comfortable and pleasant. But the­re are a couple downside­s. It can take a while to fully charge the­ battery. And sometimes the­ pickup feels a bit slow. Still, the BYD Se­al is a decent choice if you want an e­lectric vehicle that won't cost too much mone­y.

    Sporty Electric Sedan 

    I have use­d the BYD Seal ele­ctric car. It has been a good expe­rience. The car give­s you great value for its price. It has a roomy inte­rior, good driving range, and solid safety feature­s. The design looks slee­k and the ride is comfortable. But, the­ speed when starting could be­ better. Also, the infotainme­nt system needs some­ updates. Even with these­ small issues, the BYD Seal is a fantastic de­al for people wanting an affordable and e­nvironmentally friendly car that still performs we­ll.

    Opinion seltos 

    I own seltos petrol.As per my opinion seltos is the best badass in suv segment i purchase seltos in 2021 and till now i have no issues in my car, Mileage is reached 20 if you driven car in softing way your car on highway, Otherwise in city 10-11km/litre, Build quality has little issue, Body is not as expected otherwise although i have never touched my car in 3 years, My car have one hand always so driven is very soft and no issue.At last i say this is must buying car if you compromise with bulid quality.And driven softly, Otherwise you enjoy very much.Lovely car 🚗❣️.
