Finished in Black and with 10,529KM, this SEAL U DM-i combines BYD's advanced Super DM-i plug-in hybrid technology with a spacious five-seat SUV interior, impressive technology and the kind of versatility that makes perfect sense for Irish driving.

PLUG IN AT HOME – DRIVE ELECTRIC EVERY DAY

The SEAL U DM-i is particularly interesting for Irish motorists because you get the advantages of an EV for everyday journeys without having to rely solely on a charging network.

The Boost uses an 18.3kWh BYD Blade Battery and offers up to 80km of WLTP combined electric driving range. When the battery needs support, the efficient petrol engine takes over, giving the SEAL U DM-i a quoted combined WLTP range of up to 1,080km.

That makes it hugely practical for Irish life: charge at home overnight for the school run, commute or daily shopping, then have the petrol engine there for longer trips to places like Cork, Galway, Belfast or Donegal without the range planning associated with a fully electric vehicle.

The Boost produces 160kW / 217hp of combined system power and 300Nm of torque, with front-wheel drive and automatic transmission.

A PREMIUM FAMILY SUV INTERIOR

Inside, the SEAL U DM-i feels considerably more premium than its price point suggests.

The cabin features vegan leather seating, a heated multifunction steering wheel, electrically adjustable driver's seat with memory, and heated and ventilated front seats. The panoramic sunroof brings plenty of natural light into the cabin, while multi-colour ambient lighting adds a premium feel in the evening.

At the centre of the dashboard is BYD's huge 15.6" electrically rotatable touchscreen, alongside a 12.3" digital instrument display and head-up display.

You also get:

Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
Hi BYD intelligent voice control
Built-in navigation
4G connectivity
BYD App / connected services
Infinity 10-speaker sound system
Dual 15W wireless smartphone charging
USB-C charging front and rear
DAB+ & FM radio

The large central screen, voice control and smartphone connectivity make the SEAL U particularly easy to live with, while BYD's connected services allow you to interact with the vehicle through the BYD App.

BUILT FOR FAMILY LIFE

This is a proper five-seat family SUV, measuring almost 4.8 metres long, with generous passenger space and a practical 425-litre boot, expanding to up to 1,440 litres with the rear seats folded.

There's thoughtful storage throughout the cabin, including centre-console cupholders, multiple USB connections and wireless charging for two smartphones simultaneously.

Another particularly clever feature is Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology. The SEAL U DM-i can use its battery as a portable power source, allowing you to power compatible electrical equipment away from a conventional socket.

For Irish weather and everyday driving, features such as the heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated seats, rain-sensing wipers, heated folding mirrors, privacy glass and panoramic sunroof make a noticeable difference to daily comfort.

THE PERFECT MIDDLE GROUND FOR IRISH MOTORISTS

The SEAL U DM-i makes particular sense for drivers who aren't ready to go fully electric but still want to enjoy electric driving for their everyday mileage.

Plug in at home. Drive electrically during the week. Keep the petrol engine for the longer journeys.

That flexibility is what makes the SEAL U DM-i such an appealing alternative to a traditional petrol SUV, while its generous equipment and spacious interior make it a serious family car.
