BYD Seal

BYD Seal

The Seal is BYD's answer to the Tesla Model 3.

Have you bought a Tesla Model 3 recently? Did you keep the receipt? You may want to think about trading it in because BYD now has this Seal electric four-door saloon on sale in Ireland. Looking like a cross between a Porsche Taycan and Model 3, the Seal has a luxurious interior and - for the 530hp version - stonking performance. It's good to drive as well.
