Most EV fans are familiar with the new Tesla Model 3 refresh, but just how does it stack up against the BYD Seal? Mat Watson of Carwow wanted to find out, so he pit both vehicles against each other in an EV drag racing showdown and review.
BYD may not be a household name in North America, but they are the largest EV maker in mainland China. The YangWang U8 electric SUV aims to take on the Tesla Model X Plaid, Mercedes-Benz EQG as well as the Land Rover Defender EV, and it’s definitely no slouch. Power comes from four electric motors in each wheel that generate over 1,100-horsepower and 1,200 pound-feet of torque combined, enabling it to hit 62 mph in 3-seconds flat.
