BYD Seal U: The First Mid-Size SUV from BYD in Australia

Fast Charging and Vehicle-to-Load Technology

The BYD Seal U offers Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, enabling the car to transform into a mobile power bank. With its 18 kW DC rapid charging, the plug-in hybrid SUV can charge in just 35 minutes.

Two Powertrain Options

The Seal U comes with two powertrain choices: *

Plug-in Hybrid (DM-i)

* Combines a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with an electric motor * Provides a combined power output of 197 horsepower and 316 lb-ft of torque *

Fuel-Efficient Hybrid (HEV)

* Utilizes a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with an electric motor * Delivers 118 horsepower and 144 lb-ft of torque

Missed Opportunity?

Despite the growing demand for battery-electric vehicles, the BYD Seal U does not offer a pure electric option. This decision may limit its appeal in a market where consumers are increasingly embracing zero-emission vehicles.
