Introducing the new BYD SEAL 6 DM-i
True innovation is never far away with BYD, and their latest model, the BYD SEAL 6 DM-i, takes things to a whole new level. Available in both sleek saloon and practical estate bodystyles, it's a powerhouse that ticks a lot of boxes.
It doesn't cut corners on comfort, either. The BYD SEAL 6 DM-i is a truly family friendly car with particularly high-quality equipment - including premium trims and high-level infotainment and safety tech.
For everyday commuters and weekend trippers who want the convenience of electric options but don’t want the bulk of an SUV, the BYD Seal 6 DM-i offers the perfect middle ground. Discover how the SEAL 6 DM-i offers something a little different and browse the latest offers available at your nearest Evans Halshaw BYD retailer.
Design and Practicality
The BYD SEAL 6 DM-i catches the eye immediately. This is thanks in part to BYD’s modern, 'ocean-inspired' design language. The vehicle looks and feels fluid, efficient, and dynamic.
That starts with the smooth, flowing body lines that reduce drag and give the car a sleeker aerodynamic profile and extends to the distinctive wave-inspired front grille and crystal-style LED headlights. Add to that sculpted dual waistlines and 18-inch ‘flying axe’ alloy wheels that give an unusually sporty appearance for cars of this nature.
This theming carries over to the interior, too. Perhaps even more so. Inside, the SEAL 6 DM-i blends tech-centric design with family-friendly practicality. The first thing you’ll notice is a floating touchscreen (12.8-inch or 15.6-inch) - the central tech hub of the car - and a wraparound dashboard design. Overall, the cockpit is tidy and contemporary.
There’s also generous seat space for all the family so you can guarantee long journeys without discomfort. Those that require the highest level of versatility will find the Touring's 675-litre (or 500-litre to parcel shelf) boot space the most appealing, while the Saloon still offers an impressive 491 litres, which is more than enough for most.
Technology and Safety
The BYD SEAL 6 DM-i competes well against many of its rivals when it comes to tech. It has everything you’d want and expect from a modern executive car. The infotainment system is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and integrates full OTA (Over-The-Air) updates for additional convenience.
BYD have also upped the ante with the safety features. Perfect for families, the SEAL 6 DM-i goes all in on driver assistance features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind-Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and various parking sensors.
For extra peace-of-mind, there are also seven airbags within, as well as handy Child Presence Detection to alert you if a child is left in the car. It also received a full five-star safety rating in Euro NCAP's rigorous crash tests, so you can rest assured this is a car that was designed with safety as a priority.
Range and Performance
The BYD SEAL 6 DM-i is a plug-in hybrid model, meaning it conveniently combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with electric motors. To be precise: an ultra-efficient DM-i system with around 181kW.
The main advantage here is it's overall driving range. Offering up to 935 miles of combined (petrol plus electric) range, the SEAL 6 DM-i competes with many ICE models in terms of overall convenience. This makes for not only a standout PHEV but also a particularly fuel-efficient family vehicle ideal for both short and long-distance commuting.
The BYD SEAL 6 DM-i performs well in most common driving situations: city driving, long-distance road trips, and more. It’s not an off-road vehicle, but the smart hybrid tech gives a significant edge on other hybrid vehicles in its class.
Charging
Want the benefits of electric without relying on it completely? The BYD SEAL 6 DM-i has the answer.
Thanks to intelligent plug-in hybrid technology, you can recharge the battery from an electric source to maximise electric-only driving. However, it also has a petrol engine so you don’t have to rely on charging infrastructure.
If you’re charging the SEAL 6 DM-i at home (AC) you can confidently expect to fully charge the battery in under 3 hours. On-the-road (DC) charging is also very quick. A typical 26kW DC charger brings the battery from 30 to 80 percent in under half an hour.
