BYD Seal Vs Volkswagen ID.7 Twin Test Review

• Those prices – "after grants of course" – are crazy.

• Is a very good comparison. Get to see the ID7 is really a big car. But there are cost cutting areas for RHD models, the glovebox compartment is a very obvious tell tale sign of it where the fuse box took up half of the space whereas LHD models get a full size glovebox compartment

• The rwd byd is nearly 20k cheaper than the id7 you were driving with plenty of spec.. very easy choice for me

• ‘Shut the front door’ 😂

• Seal in design spec is a much fairer comparison (44k vs 65k for the Id7 as tested).
  It has everything the excellence has except the heads up display and adaptive dampers. It’s ‘only’ RWD, but has 308bhp and 0to 100km in 5.9 secs, which is more than adequate and quicker than the id7. So definitely go for the design instead of the excellence unless you REALLY need the AWD.

  I bought mine in Apr. Indicator stalk is on the left. Recent OTA gave wireless Apple CarPlay which works faultlessly. Also 3 finger scroll up/down or left/right on any screen allows you to select temp or fan speed respectively.
  OTA’s have also massively improved the ADAS and binging/bonging that plagued the car initially. BYD seems to listen to customers feedback, and are very fast to roll out OTA improvements.
  Also it has 6 year warranty with 8 years on the battery and drive train.

  IMO, it’s absolutely amazing, and much cheaper and better value (for what you get) compared to anything else in the D segment, including ICE cars.

• I really am not a fan of the ID screens, they look like someone stuck a child’s tablet on to the dash

• ID7 is a yawn fest! So boring to look at. Might be comfortable but I know which one i would buy and save 12k

• The design module in Australia costs 33,000 Euro. Imagine if you had this pricing in Ireland.

• I'd suggest you need to put the same person in the back seat for each car, to do a proper comparison of space.

• When you buy an EV you buy the EV with the better battery…BYD blade battery is a 1 million mile LFP battery.. They are the only batteries manufacturers that can pass the nail penetration test.. ie if your car was to be in a major accident you will not be turn into a charcoal..

• Decision made! Ordering my Seal and going with Sineads suggestion of the design model.. great video 👌

• it has wireless car play with the new update

• 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

• Glad to see Cinch are providing an aftersales service even if the prep dept is lacking.

• Top notch review – thank you for being totally natural on camera 😊

• Nope, not gonna buy one..
  I refuse to sit on an exploding battery. Its not IF it bursts into flames but WHEN.
  ICE forever!

• A friend bought a BYD Seal earlier this year and he mentioned on the test drive that the indicator stalk wasn't on the side he was used to, coming from driving his ID3, the sales person said that they change that for his car and upon the delivery of his they did indeed change the indicator stalk as he requested. Its an amazing bit of kit especially for that price and range.

• 4:15 a bit of Harry Potter 😁

• In electric cars, the EMP at the driver seat is so high it's right off the scale at the driver seat, which can't be good for you long-term.

• You could improve the consumption on the ID.7, if you would have choosen the smaller wheels.
  But the ID.7 is a great cars as well as the Seal. And if I would buy a Seal, I would also go for the option with one motor and 300+ hp. That would be easily enough for the day to day drive.
  Even the 286 hp from VW are enough.
  Good video 😊
