2027 BYD SEAL U Design

BYD SEAL U DM-i DESIGN AWD – 323PS PLUG-IN HYBRID – PERFORMANCE SUV MEET THE BYD SEAL U DM-i DESIGN AWD – SUPER HYBRID TECHNOLOGY WITH SERIOUS PERFORMANCE The BYD SEAL U DM-i Design AWD takes everything that makes the SEAL U such an impressive family SUV and adds a serious performance edge. As the flagship Design AWD model, it combines BYD's advanced Super DM-i plug-in hybrid technology with four-wheel drive, 323PS and 550Nm of torque. The result is a large, premium SUV that can deliver genuinely rapid performance while retaining the flexibility of electric driving and petrol-powered long-distance travel. 323PS – AWD – 0–100KM/H IN JUST 5.9 SECONDS This is where the Design AWD really separates itself from the front-wheel-drive SEAL U models. The system combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors — one driving the front wheels and one driving the rear — producing a combined 238kW / 323PS and 550Nm of torque. With intelligent all-wheel drive, the SEAL U DM-i Design accelerates from 0–100km/h in just 5.9 seconds, while maintaining the smooth, quiet character you'd expect from an electrified powertrain. That gives the SEAL U a very different character from an ordinary family SUV. It has the space and comfort you need for everyday life, but with performance that makes a country-road or motorway journey considerably more engaging. PLUG-IN HYBRID FLEXIBILITY FOR IRISH DRIVING The Design AWD uses an 18.3kWh BYD Blade Battery and offers up to 70km of WLTP combined pure-electric range. For everyday Irish driving, that means you can plug in at home and use electric power for shorter journeys such as commuting, school runs and local trips, while the petrol engine gives you the freedom to travel much further when required. BYD quotes a combined electric-and-petrol range of up to 870km WLTP for the Design AWD. So you're not tied to charging infrastructure on longer trips — ideal for travelling from Dublin to Cork, Galway, Kerry, Donegal or anywhere else around Ireland. Electric for the everyday. Petrol flexibility for the longer journey. AWD and 323PS when you want the performance. PREMIUM DESIGN INTERIOR Inside, the SEAL U DM-i Design AWD combines comfort with a distinctly high-tech cabin. The floating centre console provides useful storage and a clean, modern layout, while the cabin incorporates plenty of thoughtful details designed around everyday usability. BYD's front seats feature electric adjustment, heating, ventilation and memory functionality, making it particularly easy to find your ideal driving position. The specification includes: 15.6" Electrically Rotatable Touchscreen 12.3" Full LCD Digital Instrument Display Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Head-Up Display 10-Speaker Infinity Premium Audio Dual Wireless Smartphone Charging Electric Front Seats with Memory Heated & Ventilated Front Seats Heated Multifunction Steering Wheel Panoramic Electric Glass Sunroof Multi-Colour Ambient Lighting Electric Tailgate Keyless Entry & Start 19" Alloy Wheels The panoramic glass roof helps create a bright and spacious cabin, while the heated and ventilated seats make the SEAL U particularly comfortable during both cold Irish mornings and warmer summer journeys. CLEVER TECHNOLOGY THROUGHOUT The large central touchscreen is the centrepiece of the dashboard, while smartphone connectivity allows you to use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Design AWD also has a head-up display, putting key information into the driver's field of vision without requiring them to look down at the instrument panel. The cabin also features dual wireless smartphone charging, a premium Infinity sound system and BYD's connected technology, giving the SEAL U a genuinely sophisticated interior. BUILT FOR FAMILY LIFE Despite its performance, the SEAL U remains a seriously practical SUV. It seats five and provides 425 litres of boot space, expanding to 1,440 litres with the rear seats folded. The rear seats split 40/60, giving you flexibility when carrying passengers and larger items at the same time. At 4.775 metres long, there is generous cabin space for both front and rear passengers, making it equally suited to family life, commuting and longer trips around Ireland. AWD FOR MORE THAN JUST PERFORMANCE The four-wheel-drive system isn't simply about getting the quickest acceleration. The Design AWD adds additional drive modes including Eco, Normal, Sport, Snow, Sand and Mud, allowing the vehicle's drivetrain to adapt to different driving conditions. For Irish driving, that extra traction can be particularly useful on wet roads, steep gradients and challenging surfaces, while the standard road-driving modes allow the SEAL U to remain smooth and relaxed during everyday use. V2L – POWER BEYOND THE CAR The SEAL U DM-i Design AWD also supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, allowing the vehicle's battery to supply up to 3.3kW of power to compatible external equipment. It's another clever feature that demonstrates how BYD has designed the SEAL U around more than simply getting from A to B. WHY THE BYD SEAL U DM-i DESIGN AWD?
