Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

BYD Seal
- Minimalist exterior styling looks sleek yet sporty, stands out from its peers
- Premium interiors with a simple dashboard design and generous use of soft touch materials
- Feature-rich package includes a rotating 15.6-inch infotainment system, 8-way powered driver seat with memory function, heated OVRMs and ADAS
- Top-spec Performance trim packs near supercar level acceleration with a 0-100kmph time of 3.8 seconds
- xcellent pricing for a fully imported luxury electric sedan
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch with its red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds
- Handles like a pro and feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.

BYD Seal
- Low ground clearance
- Low profile tyres can get cut easily
- Rear seat comfort could be better for long distance journeys
- No physical buttons or knobs for AC control
- BYD’s limited dealer/service network.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- It misses out on some features like leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
