BYD Seal Review
A challenger to the likes of the Tesla Model 3, the BYD Seal boasts a sleek exteerior design and quality interior, topped off with an all-electric engine. Find out more about the BYD Seal in our review.
The sleek Seal is a head-turning electric saloon from Chinese manufacturer BYD - aka ‘Build Your Dreams’. And with a range of up to 354 miles between charges as well as stylish looks both inside and out, the BYD Seal is a genuine leasing rival to the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6.
Read moreThe Seal is BYD’s flagship vehicle, sitting above the Atto 3 crossover and the more compact Dolphin.
Like all of BYD’s cars, the Seal features a patented ‘Blade’ electric battery. It’s produced in-house at BYD and because of the way it’s designed - with the battery incorporated into the structure of the vehicle itself - you get improved handling as well as optimised interior space.
It’s also what’s known as a ‘LFP’ (Lithium iron-phosphate) battery, which is free from cobalt, cheaper to produce, and more sustainable.
Meanwhile the battery itself is a 82.5 kWh unit that supports rapid charging at 150 kW, which can replenish the energy from 30-80% in just 26 minutes.
The BYD Seal is also potent.
Entry level models have power of 313 PS and can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 5.9 seconds, while the more powerful all-wheel drive Seal ups the power to 530 PS and drops the 0-62 mph sprint time to 3.8 seconds - which is rapid.
The BYD Seal comes equipped with a 15.6 inch rotatable screen that responds to voice commands, a 10.25-inch full instrument LCD panel, and a full suite of driver assistance and safety tech, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane change assist, and a 360-degree panoramic camera.

From start to finish the service I received was exceptional! My first time as a lease car customer, wish I had done it years ago as surprised how easy and stress free the process is. Will definitely use select car leasing again. Special thanks to Tom Price whose customer service was exemplary!!
Ash is always very informative and he gave me great advice as to what deal was best suited to me - taking into consideration lifestyle and budget. I feel that the company is open and honest and does the best it can for its customers.
Great experience all round!
