    BYD Seal Test Drive. As good as I'd hoped?

    enJanuary 02, 2024

    About this Episode

    Welcome to "EV Quest," the podcast for all things electric vehicles. I'm Adrian Maidment, and today I’m taking the BYD Seal Premium for a test drive. 

    I’ll be checking out the Seal's key features, and comparing it with the other two versions available of the Seal in New Zealand (Dynamic and Performance). I've been looking forward to driving this EV since I saw it at Fieldays. Will it deliver?

    A big thanks to BYD Tauranga for supplying me the Seal: 👉 https://ebbettbyd.nz/find-a-dealer/byd-tauranga/
