Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video on the BYD Seal Lion 7 electric car, adhering to the instructions:The car looks better in real life than in promotional photos. The exterior is a little bit of a crossover with a sporty design at the rear. It's a long vehicle measuring 4.8 meters, boasting 530 horsepower from two engines, with 4.5 seconds 0-100kph acceleration and 2.4 tons in weight.
The interior is high quality, spacious and comfortable with controls for seats and windows/mirrors located on the doors. It features a multifunctional steering wheel, a classic gear lever, and a 50W charger with cooling for phones. There is lots of space in the rear seats, and a sunroof with a sunscreen.
The trunk has about 360L in the main compartment, a 70L storage compartment, but it can be 450L with the deck in a lower position. With the seats folded, it can fit even a large Ikea bed.
The AWD system is great for urban driving.
The car has a projected range of around 400km. The reviewer added a destination to Dubrovnik but the in-car navigation required 2 charging stations, which shows 48% battery level. Reviewer’s car showed energy consumption of 23 kWh per 100km.
The active driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping, are well implemented. The ADAS is effective, and it makes city driving easier.
As for pros, the car has 530 horsepower, a great AWD system, is very comfortable, has HUD, and has adaptive cruise control/autosteer that is effective, though is a bit behind lane changes at times.
The cons are that the navigation and system are poor (requiring charging on the way to Dubrovnik), the HUD doesn’t show what the speed limits are, and there can be excessive lane changes in the adaptive cruise control. Heating the battery doesn't improve and seems to decrease charge level by 27%, and the Carplay system is prone to disconnecting.
The reviewer concludes, the BYD Seal Lion 7 stands out as a serious competitor in the electric car market. The reviewer states that he does not know which is a better purchase: the Tesla Model Y or the BYD Seal 7. He states that this version's build quality, comfort, and all wheel drive is great. He does like this vehicle's comfort and driving qualities. He also states that those aspects are better than Tesla's Y.
