Thoughts on the new BYD Seal 06 DM-i Touring Wagon (Estate)? 670L boot + 4.2 L/100km looks spot on!

@zoew78 4.2 L/100km on the motorway and 105 km pure EV range for the weekday commute beats any old diesel estate hands down.

@Connor_M_Seal Booked a test drive at my local dealer for next weekend—thinking of swapping our old Octavia Estate for this!

Spot on breakdown. One detail I noticed after logging another 2,500 km is that the thermal management loop stays completely silent below 32°C ambient unless you chain two fast DC sessions back-to-back.

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.

Subscribed to this thread. Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.

My experience has been almost identical over the past 4 months. Zero rattles in the cabin so far, and the 360-degree camera clarity at night is still the best in its price bracket.

Great real-world data. Having proper owner telemetry instead of brochure claims makes configuring the car so much easier.

Followed this guide step-by-step in the garage this afternoon—took less than 20 minutes and worked first time without any warning lights.

Interesting point about the charging curve. I found that plugging in around 15–18% SOC gives the fastest sustained peak kW before the BMS gently tapers above 80%.

I ran the exact same test last month on a rainy weekend trip. Regen braking in High mode remained super predictable, and the LFP pack voltage delta stayed under 12 mV on my OBD2 scanner.

[Logan_Ferguson]

Spot on regarding cold tyre pressures and regenerative braking calibration—smooths out low-speed town driving immediately.

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Tested these exact settings on my weekend highway run and cabin NVH + efficiency were spot on.
