  BYD Seal rivals the Tesla 3.

  It’s noteworthy that BYD Nepal has launched all three variants of the BYD Seal in Nepal. The country’s market is mainly dominated by SUVs, which is one of the factors that led to the popularity of the BYD Atto 3 as one of the top-selling electric SUVs in the market.

  So, BYD Seal being a premium sedan may feel out of place at first.

  However, the Tesla Model 3 is a fairly popular premium sedan in Nepal available at a much higher price than the BYD Seal. Perhaps, BYD Nepal is looking to take a piece of that market pie.
