The BYD Seal U DM-i Boost is a stylish and efficient plug-in hybrid SUV that combines modern design with BYD’s advanced DM-i technology. As the entry-level model in the Seal U lineup, it features a sleek, ocean-inspired look with smooth lines, a bold X-shaped front, and distinctive U-shaped LED headlights. Its aerodynamic shape and refined proportions give it a premium presence on the road. Inside, the Seal U DM-i Boost offers a well-appointed cabin with advanced tech and comfort features. It includes a large 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, a digital driver display, head-up display, ambient lighting, and a 10-speaker Harman Infinity audio system. Wireless charging pads and soft-touch materials add to the premium experience. Under the hood, the Boost variant pairs a 1.5L petrol engine (72?kW) with a 145?kW electric motor, delivering a combined 160?kW (218?PS) and 300?Nm of torque. It’s front-wheel drive and accelerates from 0–100?km/h in about 8.9 seconds. This model focuses on efficiency and smooth electric-like driving, ideal for daily use. Powering the electric motor is an 18.3?kWh Blade LFP battery, enabling up to 80?km (≈50 miles WLTP) of pure electric range. When combined with the petrol engine, total range reaches up to 1,080?km, making it well-suited for both city and long-distance driving. Charging is flexible and convenient, with 11?kW AC capability (about 2 hours to full) and 18?kW DC fast charging, taking the battery from 30% to 80% in around 35 minutes. Real-world EV efficiency is excellent, often under 15?kWh/100?km, and fuel consumption averages 0.9?L/100?km under WLTP testing. Practicality is strong with 425?litres of boot space, expanding to 1,440?litres with the seats folded. Vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality allows the Seal U to power external devices, adding to its versatility.
