You can have a range of 354 miles or a whopping 523bhp - but is this a real alternative to the Tesla Model 3?
, to an interior that looks and feels smart, tactile and cosseting in a way that the more sparse-feeling Model 3 falls short of , the Seal has the aura of a car that’s been designed from the off to be a European big-hitter.
Naturally, you can scorch about doing comical sub-4.0sec launches all day long in the dual-motor model if you wish to, but the more important thing is that the throttle response is also easy to modulate, the refinement hard to fault and there’s even some satisfaction in the handling if you make the effort to look for it.
Ride comfort is hard to comment on given the test track conditions, but the Seal has impressive torsional rigidity, so we’re tentatively optimistic. The AWD model also rides on active dampers, but we’ll have to wait until we’ve had more time with the car to pass judgement on whether the lighter, passively sprung RWD or heavier, AWD car will deal better with British roads.
