The Seal U DM-i is a plug-in hybrid SUV with ocean-themed design. Staggered double U-shaped headlights and a continuous water-drop tail-light give it a distinct look, and 19-inch aerodynamic wheels aim to cut drag. Inside, a floating centre console has a two-layer storage compartment and a crystal gear lever. The front seats are ventilated, heated, electrically adjustable and have memory, while the rear has a flat floor and ample legroom. A sliding panoramic roof, a head-up display and a rotatable touchscreen complete the cabin. The boot holds 425 litres, expanding to 1,440 litres.
BYD Super DM technology combines the Xiaoyun petrol engine with an electric hybrid system that uses dual motors and oil cooling. A bespoke Blade Battery of 18.3 kWh delivers a pure-electric range of more than 70 km. The page quotes up to 1,080 km combined range, 6.4 L/100 km fuel consumption and a 5.9 second 0-100 km/h time for the all-wheel-drive car. DC charging at 18 kW lifts the battery from 30 to 80 percent in 35 minutes, and vehicle-to-load output is available.
Safety features include blind spot detection, intelligent cruise control working between 0 and 120 km/h, and rear cross traffic alert with braking. A 4G system provides navigation, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and voice control, with over-the-air updates.
