1. Safety

The BYD Seal is a modern electric vehicle that offers high standards of safety to provide an exceptional driving experience. This technology ensures that the battery temperature is kept within a safe range even during extreme weather conditions in the UAE, which enhances the efficiency and safety of performance.

On the active side, BYD Seal is equipped with a large number of advanced technologies, such as anti-slip brake system (ABS), electronic stability assistant (ESC), blind spot monitoring system (BSM), as well as automatic emergency braking feature (AEB). These features allow the driver to react to everyday challenges on the road with confidence.

As for passive safety, the car has a strong shock-absorbing design, with 6-8 airbags available throughout the cabin, ensuring maximum protection for passengers in emergency situations. Also, the structure uses torsion-resistant materials to ensure superior rigidity.

2. The cost of buying a car

The price of a BYD Seal car in the UAE starts at AED 145,000. When calculating the monthly installment assuming a down payment of 20% (AED 29,000), and a financing term of 60 months with an interest rate of 1.9% per annum, the monthly installment will be approximately AED 2,091.

In terms of the value of keeping a car, BYD Seal is one of the cars with a high value in the used market. Assuming that the average price of a used car after 3 years is AED 105,000, it can be concluded that the car retains about 72% of its original value, reflecting its attractiveness and ability to retain a high value compared to competitors.

3. The cost of using the car

BYD Seal is characterized by low operating costs in comparison with conventional fuel-powered cars, thanks to its all-electric system. Assuming that the cost of fully shipping a car in the UAE is only about AED 30 and one shipment covers a distance of up to 450 kilometers, the operational costs range around AED 1.1 per 15 kilometers, making it ideal for everyday use.

In terms of maintenance, BYD offers a periodic maintenance schedule every 10,000 kilometers or every year, with competitive maintenance costs ranging from AED 500 to AED 1,000 per maintenance visit. Thanks to its electrical system, it has fewer moving parts, which reduces the risk of breakdowns and significantly reduces annual maintenance costs.

In sum, BYD Seal is a smart choice for an Emirati family interested in economic performance and the environment, while offering a safe and reliable driving experience.
