The 2024 BYD Seal is looking to disrupt the mid-size sedan segment, which has come to be dominated by a particular fully electric vehicle, the Tesla Model 3, in recent years. While other EVs have attempted to challenge the sales leader, this new Chinese contender might come the closest to doing so – at least on paper.

For one, the Seal is very aggressively priced, so much so that it undercuts the Model 3's starting price by $12,000 – that's a significant head start, especially considering the former kicks off from a tick under $50,000 plus on-road costs. But it also goes spec for spec in most instances.

So, in this expert review, CarsGuide Senior Journalist Tom White gets behind the wheel of the Seal's mid-spec Premium variant to find out how well it stacks up against the recently facelifted Model 3. With 230kW/360Nm of rear-wheel-drive grunt and a 570km of driving range, it's well positioned to do so.
