The BYD Seal U DM-i has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing 10,000 sales in the UK within just ten months of its launch! This elegant and spacious SUV has quickly become BYD UK’s best-selling model and the most popular plug-in hybrid vehicle in the country. Since its debut in 2023, BYD UK has proudly sold over 30,000 cars, demonstrating strong demand for innovative vehicles.
Equipped with the advanced DM (Dual Mode) intelligent plug-in hybrid system, the SEAL U DM-i delivers a smooth, quiet, and environmentally friendly driving experience. Its 1.5-litre hybrid petrol engine activates only when necessary, offering an impressive combined range of 699 miles.
Customers can choose between two battery capacities: 18.3 kWh and 26.6 kWh. The smaller battery powers the front-wheel drive Boost model for up to 50 miles, while the all-wheel drive Comfort model with the larger battery can travel up to 77 miles on pure electric power!
With prices starting under £40,000, the SEAL U DM-i provides an affordable ownership experience without sacrificing cargo space or high-quality features like smart connectivity and advanced safety systems.
Steve Beattie, Sales and Marketing Director of BYD UK, stated that this remarkable sales achievement reflects a rising enthusiasm for their accessible new energy vehicles, supported by an expanding retail network.
