r/BYD

I dont really need that much more hp 313 is enough for me but I read some people say the driving feels waaay different tho - also heads up display is nice but not needed for me

Thank you <3

Hey everyone,

I’ve been looking into BYD accessories and noticed there are quite a few screen protectors for the center display.

For owners here, do you think a screen protector is actually worth it, or is the screen fine without one?

Mainly wondering about fingerprints, glare, scratches, and whether the rotating screen makes installation annoying.

Also curious if anyone here has bought one already did it help, or was it unnecessary?

Thanks.

Hi. I'm the owner of a Seal 6 DM-i Touring since a couple of months. I want to start travelling in the nearer future, but camp in my car, because hotels are expensive. Any recommendations on car mattresses in Switzerland?

My SL7 Excellence is telling me that with 95% of 91,3kWh battery I have 478 km. This is 18kWh/100km. But calculating with average consuption which is 23.4 kWh/100 km it is only 370km.

What is your experience?

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to turn off the front passenger airbag ? We were blessed with a baby last night and he is placed in the front seat and secured in place with seatbelt

But I read that airbag must be off and I can’t find an option to close it any place ? I looked everywhere, between door and dashboard, glove box, under seat and in the system incase of digital way but nothing

This is very urgent please 🙏🏼

Following last year’s success in driving From Edinburgh to Tuscany and back in our Seal U DM-i Boost, we decided to shake things up this year and head for Denmark and Sweden, using the ferry route between Newcastle and Amsterdam.

We’re back and, as the trip notes from last year seemed reasonably popular, I’ll pull together some driving observations and pics and post here, in the coming days.

I’ve just ordered a new Atto2 comfort and have read that the 2025 model came with fixed headrest, can anyone with an Atto2 comfort confirm if they have adjustable or fixed headrest. I’ve informed the dealer I want a 26 model as he says there’s no difference.

I've driven my BYD Seal AWD (530 PS) for about 22,000 km in a tropical climate (32–42°C). And I have two niggles that constantly nags me.

The AC cools the cabin well, but during sudden downpour the windows fog up easily.

1. I always leave the climate control on auto-21c sync-fresh air mode and it does a great job of cooling down the cabin most of the time. With that being said, it doesn't seem to distribute airflow effectively. Is there a way for it to automatically alternate airflow (e.g., windscreen and footwell) whilst preventing the window from fogging up at the same time?
2. My previous car figured my niggles already (Intensive/max auto at 20+18.5c, auto recirculation). In addition, is it only me or seal's fans are noticeably loud above speed 3? Also I think rear B-pillar vents would have been a nice addition to diffuse the air to rear passengers too.

Auto headlights sensitivity, or lack thereof.

1. In my head the Seal's automatic headlights seem to have a mind of its own. They fired up instantly under a dense tree or into the shade, yet switches off too early at dawn and come on WAY far too late at dusk. My previous car also senses when the sun is low on the horizon and turns on the headlights to improve visibility and now it is something I can't live without. Any way to recalibrate the sensor's sensitivity?
2. How can a car this calibre sans cornering lights? A vw golf from prehistoric era has a simple alternating fog lights to light up a dark junction.

Here's Seal's headlights logic

• Driving at dawn, sunrise at around 6am. (main beam off max at 6.15, should be 7?)
• Driving at dusk, sunset at 6pm. (main beam turns on at 5.40, should be at 5??)
• Sun blazing low from behind, main beam off. Can't see anything in the mirror.
• Entering a tunnel, turns on late, turns off right when you exit it.
• Big trees, main beam on, WHY?
• Office district with tall buildings and the car is under the shade, again main beams on.
• It does not turn on immediately in rain huh?

I don't think I ever changed any of my car's climate control nor headlights switch for almost a decade before, now sometimes I feel like I almost need to intervene lol. First world problems I know.

Thought the aircon had broken on my dolphin surf (aka Seagul/Atto1) as it was hardly cooling the cabin at all, but I think it's related to rapid charging as after about 30mins it started working again. So i'm not sure if it's a problem or it's just being diverted by the BMS to cool the battery after the rapid charging session.

I suspect I was going quite hard on the battery as it was a fairly long journey with most of it at highway/motorway speeds.

So Now i'm not sure if it's a fault/low gas pressure or if it's just normal as no errors were displayed or anything.

Hi, car updated, now when you start, the button for disabling the speed warning on the quick links pull down screen is off, but the car honks when you pass the limit. So now I have to click the lane assist off as before, but switch the speed limit "on" (even though it's on in reality) and then off the confirm, annoying me even more that EU nonsense safety is forced upon me but now needs another click .

Anyone else seen this?

So, into my 2nd year with my dolphin and about 2 months after i bought the car, i noticed when i broke that the car would make a grinding noise. i hadn't owned an EV before so i enquired about this with the dealer. they told me it was normal.

It absolutely isn't. The grinding noise got allot more pronounced about 2 months ago and i brought it in to be looked at. Apparently, it's the wheels themselves. Both sets of tires were replaced, and now the noise is completely gone.
