BYD Seal gains bigger boot, smartphone key and driver monitoring
Rear boot space has been increased to 485 litres from 400, while the front boot has grown to 72 litres from 53.
BYD has updated the Seal for 2026, adding extra boot space, a smartphone-based Bluetooth key system and a driver monitoring system, which ensures the driver is paying attention to the road.
Rear boot space has been increased to 485 litres from 400, while the front boot has grown to 72 litres from 53.
The front boot is now large enough to hold a carry-on suitcase.
Pricing and powertrain specifications are unchanged, at £45,730 for the 308PS Design, and £48,730 for the all wheel drive 523PS Excellence.
Range remains at 354 miles for the Design and 323 miles for the Excellence.
BYD has added three extra colours to the Seal range, Ruby Red, Obsidian Black and Lavender Grey, as well as a new design of 19-inch wheel.
2026 Seal models can be distinguished by the addition of a BYD logo at the top of the boot lid and the absence of a logo on the headrests.
