 Regional events are often found to have good characteristics from year to year. It's just that Thailand has already pushed BYD SEAL in advance (hurriedly selling it to get government benefits), which is different from other countries. For example, the EV sales have not started yet. This will be exciting, it will be different.

In Thailand, BYD Seal is sold as 3 models with a single motor, Dynamic RWD in the range of 204, acceleration speed 0-100 km/hr. 7.5 battery control station 61.44 kWh, runs 510 km/hr, price 1.325 kWh.



 Private one, Premium RWD, takes 313, acceleration speed 0-100 km/hr. 5.9 electric train station, 82.56 kWh, runs 650 km/hr, price 1.449 kWh.


Front-rear AWD pair, performance is 530, torque 670 Newton-meters, acceleration 0-100 km/hr. 3.8 electric train station, 82.56 kWh, runs 580 km/hr, price 1.599



As for test driving in the field, it will suddenly meet FIA Grade 2 standards (not yet up to Chang Stadium). Buriram Province is FIA Grade 1) during the rainy Thursday all day with BYD Seal, right-hand drive, no need to adjust much and As I said, the city launched in Thailand and actually got to test drive the route in Bangkok. We arrived at Khao Yai so after we jumped in to sit behind the wheel of the chapel where the seats were set up. Fasten your seat belt here and you're ready to go.



A long, even performance of 4.3 km of smooth track over a total of 14 full lap turns. The team organized the Performance model to hit the fullest on a straight road, hitting 180 km/hr. Various parts of the in-depth curve meeting of the steering motherboard...

BYD will design the vehicle with maximum aerodynamics to achieve a structurally distinctive low center of gravity. The LFP battery pack can be positioned intersecting with the platform surface of a concentration that this technique calls cells to the vehicle's body. fat Promote a more balanced car

The front suspension is a double wishbone, and the rear is multi-link. Fitted with 19-inch alloy wheels and 235/45 R18 tires, the top model AWD Performance can use shock absorbers with an adapter that can be adjusted according to mode and driving conditions... Driving here, but it's a shame if the rear wheels had wider front tires. In other words, the car would be tighter and more fun to drive.



As for the full lap run, we then met with the test of acceleration from 0-100 km/hr where we tried to stomp on the accelerator hard and continuously on a straight road. In the end, we actually got the number that the factory reported at 3.8 seconds.

The slalom station uses speeds of 50-60 km/hr. A good-looking steering wheel allows the car to go in the desired direction. But the driving style in this stage will be that the car will stabilize.



It was a great experience with the BYD Seal 530, a 670 newton-meter testing machine, in a race track with effective safety standards that brought out the full potential of the car's components. Just have to use the remaining half of the electric power in the battery. The car's condition clearly shows signs of sluggishness. Different from full battery life that accelerates quickly all the time

However, practicing on the field in this way must recognize that the BYD Seal with high horsepower has an acceleration rate of 0-100 km/h below 4.0 seconds, but the next cruise of the control balance and suspension is still There will probably be a move up to the usual high-end European brand sports cars or the Porsche Taycan.


Calling an EV in this form has the feel of a home car. It's comfortable and efficient to use, so don't let the acceleration horsepower numbers fool you. This is a supercar worth a million baht.
