First look – the new BYD Seal

First look – the new BYD Seal

Synergy have been getting to know the all-new BYD Seal. This striking EV is a flagship model for the brand which couples long-range electric driving with luxury and style.

BYD are a rising star in the UK market, having introduced three models since their 2023 European launch: the BYD Atto 3, Dolphin and Seal. Let’s see what our team thought of their latest offering.

What to know about the BYD Seal

The new BYD Seal comes with one battery option, an impressive 82.5kWh unit found on both the Design and Excellence model. The entry-level Design gets two-wheel drive, produces 312bhp, 360NM of torque and has an WLTP range of op to 354 miles.

Step up to the Excellence and you’ll add all-wheel drive as well as enhanced performance. Whilst power is increased to 523bhp, it is worth considering that battery capacity remains the same and the WLTP range is reduced slightly to 323 miles.

However, we think this shows BYD’s efforts to offer an EV that meets different driving needs. Both options should balance your leasing requirements well, whether that focuses on performance or economy.

In terms of design, the Seals exterior benefits from sharp lines, intricate front and rear LED lights, as well as distinctive alloy wheels. Step inside and this design ethos continues with premium materials and some of the best in-car tech on the market. You're greeted by a futuristic 12.8-inch rotatable infotainment screen, which has become a unique feature across the BYD range.

Safety has also been a priority for the BYD Seal. Driver assistance technology has been developed to make this EV even safer for pedestrians and passengers. As standard you can expect intelligent cruise control, blind spot detection and predictive collision warning.

Overall, the Seal feels like a premium product. You get soft touch materials, thermal insulation, sound proofing and double-glazed front door windows too.
