Used BYD Seal
The BYD Seal is an all-electric saloon that arrived in the UK in late 2023, becoming a strong challenger to premium EVs like the Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4. On paper, it blends a spacious, quality interior with long range and high levels of standard equipment – all at a price that stands up to scrutiny. It sits above BYD’s Dolphin and Atto 3 and competes with models like the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Volkswagen ID.7. The Seal is available in rear-wheel drive (Design) or all-wheel drive (Excellence), powered by BYD’s Blade battery, and offers a full suite of safety aids, generous warranties, and a focus on comfortable, near-silent driving.
