“BYD’s most convincing entry into Europe yet. It’s a long way from exciting but it should prove cheap enough to compensate”
“BYD is learning how to better satisfy buyers and the Seal U feels like its most competitive car yet"
There are two configurations; a 1.5-litre non-turbo 4cyl engine pairs up with a single, 145kW electric motor for the 215bhp front-wheel drive Seal U Boost. Meanwhile the Seal U Design mates a perkier 1.5-litre turbo with an e-motor at each axle (150kW at the front, 120 at the rear) for a 319bhp total output and 0-62mph in 5.9 seconds… a whole three seconds quicker than the Boost. Feels like they’ve got the names mixed up.
