Established just over two decades ago, BYD Auto has emerged as a major player in the electric vehicle market. Premiering at the Geneva Motor Show, the European version of the Seal U DM-i exemplifies BYD’s commitment to innovation.
Positioned as a plug-in hybrid, this crossover boasts a longer wheelbase than its competitors and offers all-wheel drive functionality. Powered by a combination of a four-cylinder engine and an electric drive unit, its performance is impressive, although specific output figures for the European market remain undisclosed.
With a LiFePo4 battery and rapid charging capabilities, the Seal U DM-i promises both efficiency and convenience. Embodying BYD’s “Ocean Aesthetics” design language, it offers ample cargo space and modern amenities, including a touchscreen interface and premium audio system. While pricing details are forthcoming, the success of its Chinese counterpart suggests a competitive offering in the European market.
