SEAL U DM-i provides an efficient, practical, and accessible solution for daily mobility needs and long worry-free journeys. The Super DM (Dual Mode) Technology prioritises electric power with minimal reliance on fuel, making it kinder to the environment, with greater energy efficiencies and lower fuel consumption, driving performance and comfort. The D-segment Family SUV will be available this summer for environmentally conscious European customers.
The Super DM Technology represents an evolution in intelligent PHEV technology. Exclusively developed by BYD, it offers a multitude of benefits, including energy efficiency, low fuel consumption, driving performance, and comfort. For SEAL U DM-i, the ‘I’ symbolises intelligence, embodying smart and energy-efficient driving principles.
BYD Super DM Technology prioritises electric power with minimal reliance on fuel, making it kinder to the environment, with greater energy efficiencies and lower fuel consumption. When the battery is fully charged and switched to EV mode, the vehicle becomes pure-electric, and when State Of Charge (SOC) is low, in transforms into an ultra-low fuel consumption hybrid vehicle alleviating concerns about electric range. Producing a quiet and comfortable ride, exhilarating high power performance and responsiveness, this innovative hybrid system redefines the driving experience.
The BYD DM-i super hybrid electricity-based structure prioritizes on ultra-low fuel consumption and a quiet and smooth driving experience and excellent power output. The vehicle can achieve an attractive fuel consumption of just 313.8 mpg for Boost and 235.4 mpg for Design WLTP (weighted combined). The electric combined consumption for Boost is 21 kWh/km and for Design 23.5 kWh/km. The electric consumption during city driving for Boost is 14.5 kWh/100 km and for Design 16.1 kWh/100 km.
The four-wheel-drive Design version has a full electric driving range of 43 miles (WLTP) securing a range of 540 miles (WLTP). The front wheel powered Boost version offers 50 miles pure electric range, securing a total range of 671 miles (WLTP).
Like all BYD passenger cars offered in Europe, the BYD SEAL U DM-i is equipped as standard with BYD’s unique, cobalt-free Blade Battery technology, developed in-house with the primary goal of optimizing safety, durability, longevity, performance, and space utilization. The battery pack consists of many thin elongated cells that look like blades and uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) as a cathode material to increase safety, durability, and thermal stability. All BYD SEAL U DM-i trim versions offer 11 kW 3-phase AC charging and 18 kW DC charging 11kW AC capabilities. With this the DC charging time (30-80 percent) takes only 35 minutes.
