The body style of this vehicle is 17 years old and really only a two-seater, built on an ice vehicle platform. That noise of a simulated engine is annoying, Ev's are mean to be practically silent. Like all European Ev's, they will be overpriced for the Australian market, a lot of better choices for the price, especially when the BYD Dolphin mini (Seagull) goes on sale here in 2025, which will be close to half the price of this vehicle tested here.
I'd prefer the (fake) engine noise to the creepy ice-cream-van-serial-killer option on some other vehicles 😕. As long as there are several options, whatever helps people make the jump I think is a good thing (even if I personally might not use it).
Slightly off-topic, sorry, I know, but I have seen lots of reports online that BYDs are not compatible with Tesla gen 3 & 4 superchargers. Have you tried your BYD Seal with these newer superchargers and what have you found? (I have a Seal on order and a new closest supercharger has just opened a convenient ~2 hrs south of me, but I'm keen to know whether or not it will be of any use to me.)
I haven’t tried but there are enough reports on social media and plug share to know that the Seal and Atto 3 are still not compatible with V3/4 Tesla Superchargers (April 2024)
