In this electrifying episode of carwow, Matt Watson takes us on a thrilling drag race between the Tesla Model 3 and the BYD Seal. Brace yourself for an adrenaline-fueled battle of electric powerhouses! The Tesla Model 3, in its long-range variant, boasts an impressive 420 miles of range, thanks to its 75 kWh battery and efficient electric motors. With a staggering 490 horsepower and 490 newton meters of torque, this non-performance version still means business. All-wheel drive and a weight of 1,840 kilograms make it a formidable contender. Priced at £50,000, it's a tech-packed, range-topping electric marvel.
But don't underestimate the new kid on the block, the BYD Seal. With a name that stands for "Build Your Dreams," this car is ready to make a statement. Packing 530 horsepower and all-wheel drive, it's no lightweight, tipping the scales at just over 2 tons. Starting at £48,000, it's a force to be reckoned with. The quarter-mile times for both cars are an astonishing 12.6 seconds, showcasing their raw power and acceleration. But the Tesla takes the lead in the rolling race, hitting a top speed of 117 mph, while the BYD Seal maxes out at 126 mph.
In the brake test, the Tesla proves its superiority, stopping from 100 mph with ease. However, it's not all smooth sailing for the Tesla. In eco mode, it may be more environmentally friendly, but it lacks the punch and excitement of its standard mode. The BYD Seal, on the other hand, surprises with its impressive launches and acceleration. It's a close battle between these electric beasts, with each showcasing its own strengths and weaknesses.
So, who will emerge victorious in this electrifying clash? Will it be the Tesla Model 3, with its range and power, or will the BYD Seal steal the spotlight with its speed and performance? Buckle up and get ready for a showdown like no other. It's time to find out which electric powerhouse reigns supreme on the drag strip.
