We’re open for business over Christmas! (We are closed Xmas, Boxing and New Year’s Days and from 2pm Xmas and New Year’s Eve)
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.

In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
I could not recommend Select enough and the amazing service I had from my consultant Shane Newton. Shane regularly updated me on progress of my new vehicle, and was always so helpful in answering any queries I had regarding my order throughout the whole process - no question was silly - he always responded promptly whether that be through email or phone call. I just received my new vehicle last week, and Shane was in contact right away to ensure the handover was seamless and that I was happy with my new vehicle! Needless to say I was very happy with the earlier than anticipated delivery - Christmas has came early! This is my second vehicle with Select and yet another excellent service. I could not fault anything and want to thank Shane once again for all of his help!
Never leased a car before this and the staff were so helpful and friendly. They helped me through the process and kept in regular contact to make sure everything was going OK. Were able to answer all my questions and were personalised with their customer service. I felt like we were having conversations rather than being a number going through a box ticking exercise.
My second lease via Select. David has dealt with my order and been very helpful and responsive throughout. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
