BYD Seal recalls in Australia
We found no recalls for the BYD Seal on the Australian recall register. The register can't be searched in bulk, so still enter the car's VIN at vehiclerecalls.gov.au before you buy.
Battery and warranty
8 yrs / 160,000 km. The warranty runs from when the car was first sold, so a 2023 car has about 5 years left and a 2024 car about 6 years left. Ask for a battery health (state of health) report before you buy: how to check the battery, including independent tests from about $200. If it ever needs one: what a new battery costs.
Running costs
At 250 km a week with NSW prices, a 2023 on BYD Seal costs about $13 a week charged mostly at home, or $24 on public fast chargers. See the full BYD Seal page for running costs in your state, servicing and the new-car price.
