BYD is quite possibly the biggest brand you've never heard of.
The Chinese firm has been around for almost 30 years and started out making batteries, quickly becoming a key supplier for the likes of Motorola and Nokia. From there, it's gone on to become one of the world's biggest battery suppliers for everything from mobile devices to vehicles.
There's a chance your iPad is powered by BYD tech. And your Tesla.
But BYD also builds its own cars. In fact, it's one of the world’s biggest makers of “new energy” vehicles (hybrid and electric), making everything from forklifts and trains to buses and family cars. And it's got its sights set on Europe.
In early 2023, we saw the Atto 3 take a swing at the Kia Niro and MG ZS, and more recently, the Dolphin arrived as a relatively compact alternative to the Nissan Leaf, VW ID.3 and Renault Zoe. Now, the Seal has arrived, looking to challenge in the seriously competitive executive saloon segment where the BMW i4, Polestar 2, Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Tesla Model 3 live.
