BYD SEAL U DM-i BOOST FWD – PLUG-IN HYBRID SUV – 218PS – UP TO 1,080KM RANGE

MEET THE BYD SEAL U DM-i BOOST – ELECTRIC DRIVING FOR EVERYDAY LIFE, PETROL FLEXIBILITY FOR LONGER JOURNEYS

The BYD SEAL U DM-i Boost FWD is a spacious, sophisticated plug-in hybrid SUV designed around the way people actually drive.

Using BYD's advanced Super DM-i hybrid technology, the SEAL U combines electric driving with the reassurance of a petrol engine. That means you can plug in at home and make extensive use of electric power during your everyday driving, while retaining the freedom to travel long distances without depending entirely on public charging infrastructure.

For Irish motorists, it's a particularly practical combination.

SUPER DM-i PLUG-IN HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

The Boost FWD combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with BYD's Electric Hybrid System and an 18.3kWh Blade Battery.

The system produces 160kW / 218PS of total system power and 300Nm of torque, delivered through the front wheels. (media.byd.com)

The 18.3kWh battery provides up to 80km of WLTP pure-electric driving range, while BYD quotes a combined WLTP range of up to 1,080km. (byd.com)

That makes the SEAL U DM-i particularly appealing for Irish drivers who want to reduce their everyday petrol usage while retaining the ability to travel across the country without constantly planning charging stops.

Plug in at home. Drive electrically around town. Keep the petrol engine for the longer journey.

A SERIOUSLY WELL-EQUIPPED FAMILY SUV

The SEAL U has been designed as a proper five-seat family SUV, with a spacious cabin, generous passenger accommodation and a practical boot.

Its ocean-inspired exterior design gives it a distinctive presence, with BYD's signature double U-shaped LED lighting at the front and continuous rear lighting creating a modern, premium appearance. The Boost also sits on 19" alloy wheels. (byd.com)

Inside, there is a strong focus on comfort and technology.

COMFORTABLE, PREMIUM INTERIOR

The Boost specification gives you an impressive amount of equipment, including:

15.6" Electrically Rotatable Touchscreen
12.3" Digital Driver Display
Head-Up Display
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
10-Speaker Infinity Premium Sound System
Dual Wireless Smartphone Charging
USB Charging Front & Rear
Heated & Ventilated Front Seats
Electric Front Seats with Driver Memory
Heated Multifunction Steering Wheel
Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control
PM2.5 Air Filter
Multi-Colour Ambient Lighting
Panoramic Electric Glass Sunroof
Electric Tailgate
Keyless Entry & Start

The combination of the large central display, digital driver's screen and head-up display gives the SEAL U a genuinely high-tech cabin, while the heated and ventilated front seats and panoramic roof add the sort of comfort that makes longer journeys much more enjoyable. (byd.com)

SMART TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERYDAY IRISH DRIVING

The SEAL U isn't just about the headline technology — there are plenty of clever features designed to make daily driving easier.

The 360° camera works alongside front and rear parking sensors to give you a much clearer view when manoeuvring in tight car parks, busy town centres and narrow spaces.

The vehicle also offers a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technology, including:

Adaptive Cruise Control
Intelligent Cruise Control
Traffic Sign Recognition
Blind-Spot Monitoring
Lane Departure Warning & Assistance
Emergency Lane Keeping Assist
Forward Collision Warning
Automatic Emergency Braking
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert & Braking
Front Cross-Traffic Alert & Braking

For everyday Irish driving, these features provide an additional level of assistance whether you're navigating Dublin traffic or cruising on the motorway. (byd.com)

CHARGE AT HOME – OR ON THE ROAD

The SEAL U DM-i is designed to fit easily into an everyday charging routine.

The Boost supports 11kW AC charging, allowing convenient home or destination charging, while DC charging provides another option when you're travelling longer distances. (byd.com)

For someone who can charge at home, the real benefit is being able to complete many regular journeys using electric power without needing to visit a public charging station.

Then, when it's time for the weekend trip to Galway, Cork, Kerry or Donegal, the petrol engine gives you the flexibility to keep going.

V2L – YOUR SUV CAN POWER OTHER EQUIPMENT

The SEAL U DM-i also features Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability.

This clever technology allows the vehicle's battery to supply power to compatible external electrical equipment, effectively turning the SEAL U into a mobile power source. (media.byd.com)

It's another example of BYD's approach to making its cars useful beyond simply getting you from A to B.

BOOST FWD – THE SWEET SPOT IN THE RANGE

The Boost FWD sits alongside the Comfort and Design versions of the SEAL U DM-i.

The Boost combines the 18.3kWh Blade Battery, 218PS system output and front-wheel drive, making it an excellent all-rounder for customers who want strong equipment and the flexibility of plug-in hybrid driving.

The Comfort and Design AWD models are also available for customers looking for alternative specifications, with the Design offering all-wheel drive and additional performance. (media.byd.com)
