Price Below Expectations: BYD Seal U DM-i Plug-In Hybrid Model Draws Attention with its Launch Price Especially for the first time in Europe, this PHEV model, which is offered for sale in Turkey, does not differ much from its 100% electric version in terms of interior and exterior design. This shows that the model has a modern and attractive appearance.
BYD’s plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model Seal U DM-i in the D-SUV segment has been launched at a highly competitive price. The vehicle, which meets its users with a launch price of 2,090,000 TL, draws attention with a figure below expectations. Especially for the first time in Europe, this PHEV model, which is offered for sale in Turkey, does not differ much from its 100% electric version in terms of interior and exterior design. This shows that the model has a modern and attractive appearance.
BYD’s PHEV Model Seal U DM-i Presented with an Ambitious Price Tag in Its Segment The Seal U combines its 4-cylinder 72kW 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a 145 kW electric motor to offer powerful performance. Additionally, equipped with an 18.3 kWh Blade Battery, the vehicle provides an average electric range of 80 kilometers when charged. This value becomes quite advantageous especially for urban use and can go up to 110 kilometers.
Designed to European Standards, Seal U Stands Out with Its Powerful Engines There is also a noteworthy point regarding the range: the vehicle can provide a range of up to 1080 kilometers in total and operates with a consumption of 0.9 liters per 100 kilometers according to WLTP standards. This ensures comfortable use during long journeys and satisfies users in terms of fuel economy.
Optimum Performance in the City: Seal U’s Electric Range and Fuel Economy On the other hand, the electric version of Seal U did not come as initially planned. Normally, the electric model was planned to arrive in the first quarter, but due to the regulation related to electric vehicles, the plug-in hybrid version seems to have taken the lead.
