BYD Seal review
WHAT'S THE VERDICT?
“You can tell it comes from a firm that is trying to find its feet and hasn’t quite figured out what works yet”
The Seal is a solid entry in the EV saloon market, but doesn’t have a strong personality and grates as much as it soothes. Consider its rivals: The Tesla Model 3 is affordable, and (oddly) cool and desirable, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Polestar 2 represent well-priced, individually styled and distinctive alternatives, while the BMW i4 staunchly defends driving thrills.
While nowhere near as packed as the EV crossover marketplace, the plug-in saloon pack are all much more talented and BYD doesn’t have competitive enough pricing to upset the applecart. You can tell it comes from a firm that is trying to find its feet in the European market and hasn’t quite figured out what works for its potential audience yet. Don’t bet against BYD figuring it out in short order, but in the meantime this is a car that lacks the charm or character to win your heart; and doesn’t quite stack up for the head either. Overall it's a bit Beta.

Smart styling and deft to drive, but this is an EV you'll buy with your head rather than heart

BYD to build European electric car factory in Hungary
BYD confirms that it will be the first Chinese company to build cars in Europe, creating "thousands" of jobs
BYD will build a new electric car factory in Hungary, becoming the first Chinese company to build cars in Europe.
The new factory will be in the city of Szeged, in the south of the country, where it is "expected to create thousands of local jobs".
Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán has said previously he expects a significant job boost in the region following substantial investments, but did not name BYD as a potential employer.
