Practical for longer worry-free journeys, the BYD SEAL U DM-i also produces a quiet, smooth ride that feels more like that of a pure-electric vehicle, with powerful acceleration and performance to match.
Offered in two trims with attractive pricing, the BYD SEAL U DM-i Design (all-wheel drive) on the road (OTR) price is £39,905 with the BYD SEAL U DM-i Boost (front-wheel drive) OTR priced at £33,205 in a choice of 4 exterior paint colours, namely Delan Black, Time Grey, Snow White, and Tian Qing.
With an abundance of equipment and intelligent technology, and a high specification as standard, the BYD SEAL U DM-i provides a rich environment of smart connected experiences, and represents exceptional value in its category. The BYD Intelligent Cockpit System is operated via the central touchscreen, offering smart 4G connectivity and a range of infotainment, with OTA updates. Occupants can enjoy a premium 10 speaker audio system. Features such as Head-Up Display and Intelligent Voice Control are standard, plus two front charging points (one of which is wireless) and two rear USB charging points.
Optimised for safety, the BYD SEAL U DM-i also has a comprehensive Advanced Driver Assistance System, with both active and passive features to make driving easier and safer. Structurally the car is exceptionally designed too. It uses high-strength steel for many parts of the body structure, and incorporates a special design for impressive occupant protection in case of a side and frontal impact.
Differing from other PHEV technologies, the BYD Super DM drivetrain prioritises electric power with minimal reliance on fuel, making it kinder to the environment, while effortlessly adapting to different driving conditions.
It comprises a highly integrated Electric Hybrid System, a 1.5L Xiaoyun Hybrid Engine (two variants depending on trim choice - Design or Boost) with world-leading thermal efficiency and the ultra-safe, extremely durable cobalt-free (LFP) BYD Blade Battery tailor-made for the hybrid platform. A significant feature of the Electric Hybrid System is its ability to intelligently switch between the two modes (EV and HEV) to prioritise electric propulsion whenever possible providing an efficient and more environmentally friendly vehicle. The engine charges the battery so electric driving is always available, with battery charge further assisted by regenerative technology.
