Video Summary

-The video is sponsored by Enhance, Elbilmek, A Better Route Planner, KEMPower, and Bilkomponenter.
- The range test of BYD Seal Lion 7 is done in Thailand where it is 20 degrees Celsius, which is like a typical summer in Norway.
- Seal Lion 7 will arrive in Norway and Europe soon.
- The car that's being tested is an 82.5 kilowatt-hour performance all-wheel-drive model.
- The ones that Norway will get are likely the 91.3-kilowatt hour.
- Efficiency should be the same.
- It's a fairly spacious car but only 4.8 meters long.
- It seems a bit thirsty when driven hard.
- There's a loud notification if the key is in the car but the car is on; it needs to be able to be turned off.
- The steering wheel is on the right side.
- Consumption will be measured, but there's no proper trip meter, only a rolling average, which is typical for a Chinese car.
- When the car is powered off, it shows the last trip and kilowatt-hour consumption.
- The 90-kilometer test was being done first, but there's no traffic.
- The screen, even on the lowest intensity, is still too bright. It's typical of Chinese cars.
- With a 20-degree Celsius weather and the air conditioner off, the car is
- being driven to test the range. The car is fairly insulated and has a nice ride.
- It's not as harsh as a Model Y and less bouncy than the Deepal S07.
- The auto steer on the BYD is good.
- Driving from Bangkok, the auto steer surpasses most Chinese cars.
- However, many BYDs accelerate and decelerate; this car does not.
- Many Chinese cars, as well as BYDs, slow down in curves when using adaptive cruise control. This one does not slow down as much.
- It is well-balanced.
- With 82.5-kilowatt-hour net capacity/ 84-kilowatt-hour gross capacity, based on the best 90-kilometer test, a distance of 458 km can be achieved, but only 321 km with a high-speed test.
- The car is thirsty.
- It's pretty good, it's quiet, comfortable and has a good ride, but it needs to improve.
- It rides like an Audi E-Tron.
