The model
Read full BYD Seal review
With its plush interior, generous equipment levels and long range, the BYD Seal is well worth considering if you’re in the market for an electric saloon and don't want a Tesla. But if you are happy to consider a Model 3, that car is cheaper and even better.
The trim
Even in this entry-level form, the Seal is very well equipped; standard kit includes 19in alloy wheels, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree parking camera, keyless entry, a heat pump (to improve efficiency), dual-zone climate control, and heated and ventilated front seats with electric adjustment.
The engine
Available exclusively with Design trim, the single-motor, rear-wheel-drive version of the Seal produces 308bhp and can officially get from 0-62mph in 5.9 seconds. Meanwhile, its official range is a healthy 354 miles.
