BYD SEAL U DM-i 2024– car dimensions: 4775 mm long, 1890 mm wide and 1670 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,940 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 425 litres.
The cabin features a 15.6-inch electrically rotatable touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, plus a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and head-up display. Dual-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats in vegan leather, and a panoramic sunroof come standard. Driver aids include adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection, lane-keep assist, front and rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera, all fitted across the range for everyday confidence.
Boot space measures 425 litres with the rear seats up and expands to 1440 litres when folded. The 60:40 split rear bench helps with mixed loads, though the high load lip and non-flush fold limit some practicality compared with larger rivals.
Braked towing capacity is 750 kg on front-wheel-drive models and rises to 1300 kg on the all-wheel-drive Design version. Unbraked towing sits at 750 kg across the range, with a maximum nose weight of 150 kg.
Payload is around 410 kg. The car suits light family or occasional work duties but offers limited capability for heavier trailers or demanding loads.
The cabin is spacious and quiet with strong NVH isolation. Vegan leather covers the multi-way power front seats that heat and ventilate as standard, plus the heated multi-function steering wheel. A panoramic sunroof with electric shade opens the space, while the soundproofed front glass and multi-colour ambient lighting add calm. Rear seats offer good legroom on a flat floor with air vents and armrest cupholders.

The Seal U DM-i runs as a plug-in hybrid that favours electric drive. Battery sizes give 70-125 km pure electric range under WLTP, with total system range reaching over 1000 km on many versions. Weighted combined fuel figures sit low when the battery stays charged. a 60-litre tank backs longer trips.
Routine servicing follows a 12-month or 15 000 km schedule. Engine oil, filters and hybrid-system checks form the core work. The Blade Battery and drive components carry extended cover separate from the base vehicle warranty.
Crash protection earned five Euro NCAP stars. Adult and child scores are high, supported by a full airbag set that includes a front-centre bag plus curtain and side bags. Active systems cover automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise, lane keep, blind-spot detection, cross-traffic alerts and child presence detection as standard.
Keeping the car is straightforward: high standard equipment needs little extra spend, and the long battery and vehicle warranties reduce ownership risk. Regular charging keeps fuel use minimal for daily driving.
