I person been driving the astonishing BYD Seal successful Gurgaon for precisely 3 months and 21 days. I indispensable say, for each my fears erstwhile buying it, it has been a delightful experience. While I person owned precise bully vehicles implicit the years! aft a agelong time, I deliberation person travel crossed a conveyance that made maine privation to agelong my budget, makes maine privation to skip things and drawback a ride! (sometimes important ones too! ), needless to say, I emotion it!

Driving a conveyance with a 145mm debased crushed clearance needed a overmuch tamer mentation of me, much truthful erstwhile my past conveyance was the indomitable 'Harrier'. It was a learning curve!, and I deliberation I tin safely adhd a large learning curve here. It was acknowledgment to a precise absorbing speech successful a YouTube video by @Motorinc (BYD Seal 2024 First Impressions | S02E19 astatine 29:40s Bumps and Broken Roads) that shortened the learning curve for me. I had chanced upon it portion researching the BYD Seal aft I had bought it. Through that video, I got a large extremity connected handling the Seal successful India, particularly connected velocity bumps. Potholes are not a problem, simply crabwalk the velocity bumps and don't, conscionable don't fto the suspension travel into play portion navigating them. My problems of the underbody touching oregon grazing the velocity bumps went down by implicit 90% arsenic a effect of that tip. In the past 3 months and 21 days , I deliberation would person conscionable grazed the underbody lightly conscionable astir 3-4 times.

This brings maine to the delimma and the intent of this post! I person conscionable travel to cognize from the dealership that an aluminium alloy underbody artillery proection shield is present disposable arsenic an accessory. Upon further probe I realised that the extortion disposable done this shield is lone for the battery, not the centrifugal and different parts and it is not cheap, costs approx INR 30K.

Keeping successful caput that I thrust successful Gurgaon wherever Beamers alert done chartless and unmarked velocity breakers and wherever astir of the clip the 'homemade' velocity breakers are not designed to the close method specifications arsenic laid down by the acrophobic authorities and the information that I bash negociate to graze the conveyance possibly erstwhile a month, adjacent aft a large driving tip, should I spell successful for the acquisition and person the shield installed. I cognize I volition beryllium driving the conveyance for a minimum of 4-5 years, Logic tells maine to spell for it but my dilemma tin beryllium summed up successful the pursuing questions:

1. Is it worthy it? Keeping successful caput that I person security successful which the artillery is protected against specified accidents.
2. If I bash get it installed, volition it astir apt little the crushed clearance a wee spot more? Has anybody anyplace installed it?
3. How beardown volition it beryllium and what extortion tin I expect?

Any proposal oregon suggestions volition beryllium valuable. Thanks!
