BYD Seal U SUV eléctrico 2024 | Prueba / Test / Review en español | coches.net

a Chinese electric sup another one you will say Well yes another a bid and you will say another Well yes another bid and it is called sil like the sil but it does not have the motors of the sil nor the platform of the sil nor the batteries of the sil Although it does have Blade batteries like the sil and it is the third bid model that arrives in Europe that follows the Ocean design line, that's why the ocean here behind in Portugal This is the sixth model of the bide brand in Europe and it is effectively called sil but with an added u sil u u of utility That is to say of Sub In short and it will not be the last because this same year the sil will also arrive and although it follows the same design line as this one it will have the same platform the same engines everything Exactly the same as the conventional sil it is a little mess I already know and I am going to try to explain to you more or less how this story of the bids works but obviously we will focus on this silu which is also going to be the first plug-in hybrid of the brand in Europe this is not because the plug-in hybrid is electric Now it will arrive we do not know if before or after the sil and that it is not this car because this is the sil u this sil u bid sil u come let's go with it in any case if we forget about the mess of the denominations of this brand bid has entered with strength in Europe, as I told you before, there are already six models for sale, three of the touring type and three of the sub type and this is where this car comes in, which is situated in the range between the Ato 3 and the Tang that already existed. It is a car. from the d segment and it has a very interesting price because it is 42,950 which, once the moves and the brand discount are applied, remain at 38,040 and 38,040 for an electric car of this size and with all the equipment it has, it is a very competitive price. It is true that to get that price we obviously have to opt for the least equipped version, which is the comfort version. This is a design but the differences are minimal and are mainly in the technical part. This car has an 87 kw H battery. While the comfort, which is the cheap one, has a 71.8 kw battery and a range of 420 km, we are going to drive the design that is the most complete in terms of equipment and the one with the largest battery, but the driving sensations will be the same Because both the engine and the chassis are exactly the same, the 200 18 horsepower engine and front wheel drive in both [Music] cars we have said 42290 480 m car fully equipped and 200 18 horsepower a Kia ev6 with that power and that equipment costs 55490 a Nissan arilla 5172 a skoda enc 52,800 a Toyota bz4x 52680 a Volkswagen id4 51545 and a tesla model I Well yes a tesla model i 42000 1990 which is 700 more but with 299 horses in short a 480 m electric sup at a price of Tesla, which, as you know, is a knockdown price after the sales made in recent times by the American manufacturer. We are going to explain that it has a different platform because this topic has been discussed a lot. Let's see, this silu does not have the same platform as the sil but almost both use the brand's 3.0 platform but while in the sil the Blade battery is an integral part of the chassis in the sil u it is simply placed on top. Furthermore this is a front-wheel drive car and has the engine in the front While that the Silver Lina with a single motor is a rear-wheel drive car, what they both share is that all the elements of the electric propulsion system except the battery are integrated into a single assembly. The front of this car is where the power makes the most sense. The fact that it is called se u Why Because it is very similar to the sil in terms of its design, this design that I insist the brand calls oceanic has these headlights with the little eyelash underneath, a bit in the Renault style, these two decorative elements here that give it a certain personality And then this Court also stands out. From this area here with the air inlets that are more fake than a 30 bill but that give it an appearance similar to that of the saloon of the same name in the side view, which What stands out is this line of character that begins at the headlight and runs completely through the entire car, but it is still a line with the proportions of a sub. It is a very proportioned car because it is tall and being so long, the proportions end up being not both those of a d-segment car and those of a c-segment car but transferred to a larger size as if it were on a larger scale than the one it touches, but that is precisely the fact that it is jump and length that allows it that maintains proportions similar to what we expect in a sub of this type, it has the wheel arches in black, it has the underbody protector, it has these 19-inch wheels that are mixed in glossy black and chrome and has the only distinctive element in On the side there is this small line that connects with the rear spoiler but without generating that sensation that is so popular lately with the floating roof. In fact, there is no contrasting roof on this car, it will always be the same color throughout and in the rear, which is a rear with many horizontal planes, look at the extractor this here This is this black line here the license plate the license plate holder this area the light that goes through this peak here and the spoiler with the integrated third light we see it and we see it is that as if I was missing something and something is missing because European customers have said that putting Build Your Dreams back and forth here is not exactly cool to them and the brand has listened to them and in this car it has been Polished in short It is a car that will not turn heads, it has a neat aesthetic without fuss, nothing that clashes, a car that goes unnoticed in traffic, which is something that many people are looking for, a car that you don't fall in love with but that no one will say is an ugly car, this one. The interior is a very technological interior on the one hand because it has the two large screens, but on the other hand it is very conventional in terms of design both in the let's say decorative elements with a little bit of piano black that still remains a little bit with this metallic part with this area here where behind this that looks like glass there are a series of lines with a color that we can change we have some very good seats upholstered in vegan leather. Practically the entire interior is upholstered in this material they call it vegan but in reality you already know that the steering wheel is also synthetic which is a fairly large steering wheel but with a very good feel, a little flattened at the bottom but cool. That is to say, it mixes a very conventional design and, above all, a very conventional finish, a very good finish, conventional but very good, and on the other hand, this technological part that gives us Apart from the two screens, for example, the fact of having two wireless phone chargers, this small area of ​​the console with this small glass lever, this is very Chinese. The Chinese really like the glass lever, here we also have the modes of driving, regeneration, start-up, that is, in this specific area we have practically all the buttons in the car because, among other things, we have to move the air conditioning through the central screen, which you already know we don't like, and certainly like in all bid if you don't like this screen, you can place it vertically and it adapts. The design version adds a getup display as standard and both versions have a 360g camera to facilitate maneuvers at low speed, cameras that by the way have a fantastic resolution. Front seats come standard with electric adjustment, heating, ventilation and vegan leather, which is equivalent to saying synthetic, but it looks better. They are large seats and, above all, very comfortable. The sunroof just above is also standard. Rear seats. You already know that in most cars. Chinese people prioritize these seats and above all what is prioritized is the distance between the front and rear bench. We don't really know why, but the Chinese like this and how these cars are not modified to reach Europe in terms of their interior configuration. Well, we still have a lot of legroom with the seat in my driving position. I'm 1.69 tall and I drive relatively close to the steering wheel, but with space we've pushed this seat back before and at full speed you can't reach the knees either, so The thing is that there is a lot of space behind here and not only longitudinally but also widthwise. Because if I place myself in the Central Plaza I'm doing relatively well. The only problem is still the usual one with the backrest because there is the armrest but the space left here and the What is left here is perfect for three occupants, not three corpulent occupants like me, but for three people of normal build back here you will travel practically without constraints. The height is already a little more limited. I have four fingers left. Oops and my glasses are falling off basically because We have this sunroof with a curtain that requires us to lower the total height of the car a little but in any case Well, it is still correct and also a person who is a little taller and who stretches out a little more is not going to hit you either. I said that we had a poll elbows which is what makes the center passenger's back a little uncomfortable but when we don't have it we can use the gaps to leave things one down here two USB sockets possibility of having orientation and flow of the air conditioning here behind we cannot regulate the The air conditioning is only two-zone, it does not have a third zone behind here and in the door the Infinity sound system with a pair of speakers, a little space to leave things and little more than some rear seats, so let's say conventional but with the advantage of both width As in length they are extremely wide, possibly one of the best in the segment, the gate is electric, I'm still missing something, I'm missing the build your Dreams here. They could have put the big bit here and left the silu down there, well, it's the same, come on, trunk, I'm saying that It has an electric opening and is 552 l, which is not bad at all. It is true that it is a large car, but you already know that electric cars, due to the way they are designed, where the battery is, because they have relatively complex suspensions, This is a rear multi-link plane. The load is usually high and in this car it also happens. We have this little tray and then a double bottom which is very little, you will see if I remove this part. We have a series of accessories here, here is a charging cable, space for the puncture repair kit. for a triangle that we will no longer need because we will have the little light and we still have some little space left to leave things, look where it ends. This is so that it is flush with the loading plane But we can lower it a little and gain practically nothing, very little but something is we gained something Well look at three fingers of trunk capacity which I insist is very little we also have this space here for the second charging cable some of you will need it others will not and therefore this is what we have it can be folded down of course as always proportion 6040 first there is We have to remove this tray from here and then AB fold the seats, we have nothing to do it with from the trunk, therefore we will have to go to the rear seats to be able to carry one part forward and the other, they remain folded and also firm, that is, they remain in place. this height upwards therefore it is not completely flat if we raise it. This does have a little more continuity in the plane but above all what they do not remain is dancing, that is to say, the two seats remain firmly attached to the bottom of the bench. By folding down the rear seats divided in a 4060 proportion, a cargo volume of 1440 l is achieved. Oh, and by the way, when I talked about the rear seats, I forgot that the backrest is reclinable and also in different positions so that we can adopt the one that best suits us. The one in which we are most comfortable is suitable, given what the car is like on the outside and inside, we are going to start it, as we have mentioned, the Silu has a single electric motor of 218 [Applause] horses 218 horses, both this design version and the comfort version in There are no changes to this The engine is the same 218 horses may seem few for an electric car and the truth is that of course we are used to 400-odd and 500-odd motors, well you say Well yes maybe they are few but the truth is that I am not When it comes to electric cars, I will tell you that I always prefer there to be a little more battery and a little less power. Because at the end of the day that ends up resulting in better autonomy for the car. 218 horsepower for a car like this with this orientation that it clearly has. familiar and with, above all, the response it has in terms of acceleration and recovery, which is typical of an electric, they seem more than enough to me, we are not going to need more horses under any circumstances in a car like this, therefore they seem good to me, it is also an engine electric and therefore has the usual characteristics of an electric motor when you step on it it comes out and goes very well and comes out very strong it has an acceleration from 0 to 100 in 9.3 seconds which is not extraordinary but is not bad and therefore In terms of performance, this car is more than serviceable, therefore it is perfect. The maximum speed of both versions is 175 km per hour. The main difference between the design version, which is the one we are driving, and the comfort version is the battery capacity. comfort version has a battery of approximately 72 kw 71.8 and this one has a battery of 87 kw h and this is especially noticeable in the autonomy, the approval is 420 for the comfort and 500 for this car, therefore there is an appreciable difference As for sufficient autonomy, I think that yes, an autonomy of 500 km, let's say, is the minimum that can be asked of a car with these characteristics. You already know that then it will be between 380 and 420 on the highway at 120 and that in the City It can be extended even more so that if the car is usually used only in the city at 150 or 60 km per day we will have to charge it once a week at most. Another small difference between the two is the recharge, the amount of charging power that the battery can withstand. small battery supports up to 110 kw and this up to 140 so that a quick charge in this car is going to be a little faster than in the comfort version in what there are no differences between the two versions is in its Dynamic behavior clearly oriented towards Comfort in both cases This is a subp with a clearly familiar and functional orientation I say this because the bid agent has repeated it to us several times during the presentation of the car and the truth is that it is This is a car clearly oriented towards functionality that is why It is large at the back, it has spectacular rear roominess, it has a very good trunk, it has good seats here in front, and it is clearly oriented toward Comfort, and I say this and I say it with this half smile because this suspension is clearly oriented toward Comfort, and it shows. Much of it is clearly oriented towards Comfort because it is very soft so for roads that are a little twisty for anything that is not a highway. In short we are going to find it a little soft. This is common in Chinese cars. The Chinese in China like cars with I would say that a suspension is very French, that is, very soft, one of those that provide great driving comfort, but of course in Europe this type of suspension seems excessively soft to us, why? Because they cause the car to move a lot when cornering when leaning hard to the right or to the left the movement of the body is very noticeable and therefore that is good Well, it tends to perhaps make the passenger a little dizzy and above all what remains is also a little confidence behind the wheel, this car is not, let's say, adapted in terms of suspensions for what a market like the Spanish one asks for but in any case that is not definitive enough to say no no no it is not a car that is comfortable and for those of you who do a lot of highway driving and normally at a slow driving pace that Be careful what you have to do with a car like this, you won't have the slightest problem. The only drawback that we can criticize, apart from the excessive softness of the suspension, is the fact that when accelerating fully the front wheels slip a little if The surface is somewhat rough or we are hitting a small bump which can even affect the steering. But that is something that we detect only in the bumpiest areas and in the worst condition where it is difficult to fully accelerate the chassis. We have already mentioned that the suspension The other elements of the chassis are very soft, the brakes Well, it is a car that brakes well but brakes electrically, that is, as soon as you lift your foot it starts to brake. We have a button here that allows us to choose the amount of regeneration we want, therefore This is good because in the city we can also put a lot of regeneration when going down a mountain pass, for example, on the highway, however, we will be interested in using little and therefore it can be regulated, but in this sense it affects the braking, especially when we have a lot of retention. Why Because when lifting it already holds and when we have to brake the first part of the braking is that regenerative engine braking and then that starting from a certain moment when the car's brakes come into play the physical brakes so it is not that it brakes badly because It doesn't brake badly, it brakes well but you have to adapt a little to that different feel of braking. In terms of the steering, it is a fairly assisted steering, I would say, but very precise, that is to say, many times, especially in cars of Chinese origin, we find directions with a lot of play. that go from right to left and have a torque three quat c even degrees in which nothing happens the steering wheel moves but the car does not turn no and this is not the case This is a well placed steering point that turns well that commands the car to where you want it to go therefore in that sense This is a more European direction than Chinese in the silu you can choose different normal eco driving modes for minimum consumption We manage to consume barely 12 kw h in some phases of the test and Sport To make the most of the car's potential on the highway, in the short time we did, the consumption was between 18 and 20 kw h. There is also a snow mode to start and move at low speed on slippery surfaces, as we explained at the beginning. The price of the comfort version is 42,290. The slightly more equipped design version with the larger battery costs 45,790, that is, 3,500 more. The siu is not as brave as the ocean that inspires its design and, above all, like this one that I have behind me Atlántico, which here in the Guincho area today is hitting hard but it is not so Bravo Not because it cannot do it but because it does not intend to do it at all because this is a clearly family car designed for a family use with a very large cabin with a very good trunk with very complete standard equipment and that starts at a price of 42590 which becomes 34080 once the moves and the brand discount have been applied, of course a car of this size with this autonomy with this battery with this power with this space with this trunk for just 34,000 we are talking about electric cars obviously it seems like a good deal to me and even more so after having tried it and after having verified once again that the bid quality is not the quality of the cars in quotes Chinese if not a quality comparable to any generalist European brand and even According to how [Music] Premium
