If you're a follower of local entertainment, you might recognise the BYD Seal as the car that this year's Star Search champion Tiffany Ho received for winning the competition.

What's the car actually like though? And is it truly a worthy prize for a winner?The Seal is an electric sedan from Chinese carmaker BYD, and was actually launched here in late 2023. While it sold in reasonable numbers at that time, it was somewhat overshadowed by its sibling, the BYD Atto 3 electric crossover, which has become the best-selling car in Singapore so far this year.
It means that the Dynamic isn't exactly fast off the line, with 0-100km/h coming in 10 seconds, but it does feel quicker than its numbers suggest. It packs in a pretty handy 310Nm of torque, however, and the power delivery comes in rather smoothly and effectively as you get up to speed. At the same time, the car goes through corners with plenty of poise and composure. It's not something that's always easy to achieve in a heavy electric car, but the Seal feels remarkably balanced in its setup, though leaning perhaps slightly towards the softer side of things.
The real star feature though is probably the karaoke app hidden within the infotainment software, which lets you unleash your singing talents right in the car.
