Is the BYD Seal EV Advanced a good buy in 2026?

DraftComprehensive93 | 2026-03-18 08:03 | 35 views

We already have a Sealion 6 and we are enjoying it so far. Now, we’re having solar panels installed so we’re looking to get an EV. Is the Seal EV advanced a good choice? After discounts, it will be P1,828,000.

It's priced super closely with the Tesla Model 3 RWD. In terms of performance, mas lamang ang Model 3 sa power and range. Go test drive both and see what you prefer. Personally mas maganda look ng Model 3 sa akin compared to the Seal Advanced

Honestly at that price point, I would pick the Tesla Model 3 over the Seal EV.

Since meron ka na BYD, ill get the Tesla Model 3 nalang instead since malapit naman na presyo.

Much_Lingonberry_37 2026-03-18 08:58

eMax for 7 seater.

The performance is not there. Seal 5 Premium is faster and cheaper. I'd get the Model 3 instead.

I used to work under Byd. Get the tesla instead of this or get the awd version.

NoGanache7947 2026-03-18 09:15

Pang tapat na tlga sa TESLA hahaha ayos yan

GroceryImmediate9581 2026-03-18 09:19

Obsessed kayong mga pinoy sa 7 seater. Nothing on the posts mentions about wanting a 7seater

Much_Lingonberry_37 2026-03-18 09:31

Sorry, bawal pala mag suggest.

GroceryImmediate9581 2026-03-18 10:09

Nice kaya pala umabot ng 1.8m yan. If m3 base vs seal adv mas pipiliin ko ung byd. Masydong bare minimum ung features ng m3 base model.

Why

Present_Cup2724 2026-03-18 10:21

Seal Ev advanced has less specs vs the premium. Considering the difference in price. Price wise mas okay model 3 if you're into the seal ev advance.

It's not a trust me bro. I used to work for BYD AcMobility.

rale888 2026-03-18 10:29

Tesla model 3 or bump up the budget to get the Seal Performance.

D_Picasso 2026-03-18 12:49

Agree. Sakit sa ulo ng after sales ng BYD.

D_Picasso 2026-03-18 12:50

Tesla na lang OP, mas reliable. Grabe sakit sa ulo ng after sales ng BYD.

Present_Cup2724 2026-03-18 12:52

I see the downvotes that think na super ganda na ng BYD. I won't go into so much detail. But all I can say is GOOD LUCK.

You lose the same features going for seal advanced as going to model 3 base -Giti tyres from hankook/michelin/premium rubber -smaller rims -no frequency selective damper suspension (only in seal performance and model 3 premium) +model 3 base actually keeps power trunk, seal advance manual trunk +model 3 is much more efficient +seal advanced didn’t have rear screen to begin with Seal EV is not in stock daw as per BYD greenfield, 3-4 months lead time because they no longer stock higher end EVs. Model 3 2-3 months Was cross shopping seal advanced and model 3 standard, just ordered model 3 premium hehe

Better wait for the new BYD cars that will be using the new ver 2 blade batteries which can be charge from 10-90 % for just 9 mins

peacekeeper05 2026-03-18 14:55

Get the tesla instead!

Fit_Apartment_6452 2026-03-18 15:15

My bad experiences k cguro sa aftrsales ni byd.. anung dealer yan pra maiwasan

broteusbroseph 2026-03-18 17:15

It was always a good buy then, pero the less expensive model 3 👌

Ms_Double_Entendre 2026-03-18 18:30

Had no problem with mine. Like any other car brand dito - depende sa dealer and agent

Ms_Double_Entendre 2026-03-18 18:33

Dont just say things just to say things - Be specific para di ka ma mtrust me bro. Lol

Ms_Double_Entendre 2026-03-18 18:34

Performance car ang post… 7 seater sinabi.. TOINK

Ms_Double_Entendre 2026-03-18 18:37

Mas sulit Tesla ngayon at 1.8M they are absorbing some of the cost kaya konti super kita nila per unit bec they want to have market penetration… di magtatagal tataas din sya.

Much_Lingonberry_37 2026-03-18 23:39

They were looking for an EV. Masaya ka siguro kausap, may bawal sabihin. Ok po censorship police. You have same tendency with CCP.

pirica2800 2026-03-19 01:51

Don’t try to even set foot in BYD Chinatown. Older sister bought an EMAX7, their after sales is trash. (And with BYD, you NEED good after sales service since you need a lot from the dealer NFC card, app access etc)

Interesting-Pin-4443 2026-03-19 03:20

It is, but its also the same price with the base model Tesla Model 3!

ExkaVer 2026-03-19 03:32

I suggest to wait for usage of ver 2 blade batteries. They're new and were only lab tested. That kind of charging speed for sure is made in a controlled environment. So the charger itself must meet specs that is not usually available in a community area.

Winter_Vacation2566 2026-03-19 20:00

for that Price, go for Tesla instead
