BYD\u2019s Seal has been one of the brand\u2019s most popular cars to date and it\u2019s a model that we\u2019ve been proud to offer here at UK Carline<\/a>. Never one to stop progressing, BYD has already introduced a raft of changes to the Seal to make things even better than before.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve got all of the details you need to know about the upgraded Seal<\/a>, so let\u2019s dive in and find out what has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exterior tweaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"BYD
The new Seal is available with a wider choice of wheel designs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve always thought that the BYD Seal<\/a> was quite a handsome car, so we\u2019ve breathed a sigh of relief that there hasn\u2019t been a complete overhaul in the way this car looks. However, there have been some subtle tweaks made here and there. There\u2019s an updated range of 19-inch wheel designs, for instance, bringing some extra character to the Seal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, you now have three additional paint choices in Ruby Red, Obsidian Black and Lavender Grey. At the rear of the car, the BYD<\/a> logo is now far more prominent than before.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A practicality boost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"BYD
The interior still gets a great level of standard equipment <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Somewhere that the new Seal really impresses is space. Somehow, BYD has managed to squeeze even more room from this model, meaning that you now get a 485-litre boot up from the 400-litre boot that you\u2019d find in the previous model. It helps to make the Seal even more practical as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You even get more space in the \u2018frunk\u2019 than before, too. Overall, the space has increased by 19 litres to 72 litres in total, providing a little extra room for cables or other accessories in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New safety systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The same electric powertrains are available <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The BYD Seal<\/a> is already jam-packed with a range of safety features, but they\u2019ve been added to with this updated model. Now, there\u2019s a driver monitoring system that can detect signs of fatigue in the person behind the wheel and sound an alert in this instance. It\u2019s designed to make the whole car safer when people are travelling long distances.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, new connectivity features mean that you can now unlock and lock the Seal via a smartphone-based key. It\u2019s great for when you\u2019re at the gym or the beach and don\u2019t want to take the physical key with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same great efficiency\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"BYD
The Seal is one of BYD’s core models <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One area that hasn\u2019t changed with this new BYD<\/a> Seal is underneath. It remains available with a variety of motor setups, including single-motor Design models with a range of up to 354 miles and powerful dual-motor Excellence cars and their 323-mile range.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As before, the Seal comes with a maximum charge speed of 150kW, meaning that you should be able to manage a 10 to 80 per cent charge in 37 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other options remain available\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Hyundai
The Ioniq 6 is one of the Seal’s key rivals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Just because the Seal has been updated doesn\u2019t mean that its rivals have gone away. In fact, there are more alternatives than ever to BYD\u2019s clever electric car. You\u2019ve got the all-conquering Tesla Model 3<\/a>, of course, as well as the stylish and premium-feeling BMW i4<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you\u2019ve got the Hyundai Ioniq 6<\/a>, or you could even look at the wider BYD range, at the likes of the Seal U. The good news is that we\u2019ve got all of these cars – and more – available to discover here at UK Carline<\/a>, so check them out today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
