Yup. I think the premium is better buy, incase later gov announce ev roadtax based on how much power the car is outputting. Hailatt if u bought the performance variant
I find the Performance Variant more worth the money. But the heavier engine makes the tyre replacement faster plus one more point of engine failure since it has two.

Dont bother taking the service package. Serious cakap as an owner. U alacarte the service is cheaper than buying package.
They are just targeting the unsuspecting..
Actually EV cars don't really need much servicing, just see Tesla. But being Sime Darby if you don't send for service, they might not honour the warranty. Need confirmation on this.
This BYD Seal truly surprises me with the price. Considered "cheap" for the specs given. I really kick myself for changing my tyres before CNY. Now I have to wait 1 to 2 years before changing car and the value of ICE cars by then would deprecirate a lot more if EV can take off in Malaysia.
Why I prefer the Performance variant, the batter is LFP... meaning in theory can last longer. And the warranty period is longer and more comprehensive than Tesla. Just that the AACP performance don't know yet. Plus infomation on future automated driving details etc that lose out to Tesla. Tesla's Performance Variant is not LFP. BYD LFP can charge to 100% with no long term degration issues?
All in all I am really surprised Sime Darby price Seal so "cheap" with such long warranty period. Good, hope more competition means price will drop more!
