    Collected my Ocean Blue BYD Seal 06 GT AWD (310 kW / 415 bhp, e-Platform 3.0 Evo) in Manchester on Friday and took it over the Snake Pass and Cat & Fiddle in the Peak District at dawn on Sunday!

    • Turn-in is razor sharp, and with the shorter hatchback wheelbase + iTAC AWD torque vectoring, it rotates out of wet hairpins like an electric Golf R / Focus RS.
    • Still returns 3.9 miles/kWh when driven sensibly in Normal mode on the commute!

      415 bhp AWD hot hatch performance over Snake Pass on Sunday morning and 3.9 mi/kWh cheap commuting on Monday—what a combination!

        @rhysn74 Ocean Blue with the integrated bucket sports seats and gloss black diffuser looks aggressive.

          @Rhys_N_EV Plus you get a practical hatchback tailgate and flat rear floor for carrying gear.

            For anyone reading this later: make sure you enable SOC calibration by charging to 100% on AC at least once every two to three weeks so the BMS range estimator stays dead accurate.

              Can confirm from my own ownership log — keeping tyre pressures at 2.5 bar cold instead of the dealer-delivered 2.2 bar immediately shaved about 0.8 kWh/100km off my highway average.
