Personifying the grace and beauty of the ocean
The BYD SEAL Ú DM-i uses the brand's 'Ocean Aesthetics' design language which takes its inspiration from the graceful contours and movement of the ocean, capturing the beauty of nature. It is characterised by a distinctive X shaped front face, contoured bonnet and front bumper with integrated LED headlights and dual lenses that give the vehicle a strong sense of power, safety and stability. The dynamic sloping waistline and balanced body proportions project a sleek and elegant silhouette, further emphasised by sporty bi-colour 19-inch alloy wheels. From the rear, the continuous dot matrix 'water drop' inspired LED taillights with full width flowing light bar accentuate the high-tech aura of the car.



Generous vehicle proportions comfortably seat five adult occupants. Optimised for space and comfort, the vehicle measures 4,775 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and 1,670 mm in height with a wheelbase of 2,765 mm. The seats can be split 60:40 allowing the 552-litre boot to be increased to 1,440 litres when both seats are folded.

The BYD SEAL Ú DM-i offers a high level of standard equipment, including ADAS, intelligent driver assistance with a multitude of features, with active and passive functionality to make driving safer, easier and even more pleasurable.

BYD always prioritises safety. The latest BYD Super DM Technology has an ultra-strong body with omni-directional collision energy absorption enhancing overall structural protection.
