BYD’s expanding UK model range welcomes two further new models with the announcement of prices, equipment specifications and start of sales for the SEAL 6 DM-i Saloon and Touring. These latest additions to the brand’s fast-growing line-up are available to order now with customer deliveries scheduled to start in December.
On-the-road prices start at £33,990 for the Saloon and £34,990 for the Touring version. The two models share the same high levels of standard equipment that include comprehensive connectivity, safety and driver assistance features across two grades: Boost and Comfort.
The introduction expands BYD’s model range to provide the convenience and versatility of an estate body-style for the first time and give customers the option of BYD’s Super Hybrid with DM (Dual Mode) technology. This BYD-designed intelligent plug-in hybrid system combines the refinement and responsiveness of EV driving with the flexibility of a petrol-electric powertrain.
In the Saloon, this can provide up to 87 miles of all-electric urban driving1 and a potential range of up to 935 miles2. Respective figures for the Touring model are up to 81 miles3 and a range of up to 839 miles4.
1 Comfort grade; 2 Boost grade; 3 Comfort grade; 4 All grades.
BYD’S first wagon in Europe
The SEAL 6 DM-i Touring is the first BYD wagon to be introduced in Europe. It comes with convenience and practicality designed-in, the load space offering 500 litres of space with the rear seats in place, loading to the parcel shelf. Quick-release handles make it simple to lower the 40:60 split-folding rear bench, increasing the cargo volume to a maximum 1,535 litres. Access is made easy with a power tailgate, provided as standard on all versions.
Grades and equipment highlights
The entry point to the SEAL 6 DM-i range, and forecast best-selling version, is Boost, which comes equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, a 3.3kW on-board charger, automatic windscreen wipers and headlights, vegan leather upholstery and steering wheel trim, plus, a six-speaker audio system.
Multimedia functions are controlled using a 12.8-inch touchscreen and connectivity is supported by front and rear USB ports – four in total – and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The cabin also features power-adjustable front seats – six-way for the driver and four-way for the passenger – and footwell and door illumination. A smartphone key can be used for easy vehicle access.
The extensive active safety and driver assistance package includes rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, Blind Spot Detection and Driver Fatigue Management. Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Braking and warnings for forward and rear collision and door opening are also provided.
The Comfort grade builds on this specification with 15.6-inch multimedia touchscreen, 18-inch alloys, a 6.6kW on-board charger, door mirror puddle lights and rear privacy glass. Life on board is enhanced with a panoramic roof with electric sunshade and multi-coloured ambient lighting. Comfort features include a heated steering wheel and heated and ventilated front seats (with a memory position setting for the driver). An eight-speaker HiFi Sound audio package is provided, together with a wireless smartphone charger. Manoeuvring is made easier with the addition of front parking sensors and a 360-degree camera.
