BYD is launching its new Seal U on Volkswagen’s home turf to rival the ID.4
SHARE

The luxury automotive brand, Seal, is poised to launch its first electric vehicle (EV) model in the European market. BYD is set to launch its Seal U, a compact electric SUV that mirrors its Seal sedan counterpart, with the aim of taking on Volkswagen’s ID.4 in the increasingly crowded EV market.

BYD successfully introduced its popular Seal electric sedan to European customers in September, marking another milestone in the brand’s global expansion efforts. BYD’s European fleet expanded with the addition of its fifth electric vehicle, The Seal, joining the Han, Tang, Atto 3, and Dolphin in the brand’s growing lineup.

The SEAL is a sporty sedan built on the foundation of BYD’s e-Platform 3.0, featuring its proprietary Blade Batteries (82.5 kWh) and cutting-edge cell-to-body technology. The BYD Seal boasts an impressive WLTP range of up to 354 miles (570 km), with charging costs fluctuating by as much as 50 percentage points over a mere 26-minute period. This innovative vehicle also features a conventional heat pump and versatile Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology.

A fresh addition to our collection: a brand-new mannequin is joining the ranks. BYD is set to launch its Seal U model, aiming to make inroads in the highly competitive compact car market. The BYD Seal U is an electrically powered SUV poised to rival established models like the VW ID.4, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Skoda Enyaq.

BYD’s Seal U is a roomy and practical electric SUV offering ample space for up to five passengers or generous cargo storage. The U stands for utility. The Seal U measures 4.79 meters (189 inches) in length and offers up to 570 liters (20 cubic feet) of cargo space in its trunk, which expands to a maximum capacity of 1,449 liters (51 cubic feet).

The Chinese automaker BYD has made significant strides in recent years, and its latest offering, the Seal U, is no exception. With a reported range of over 300 miles on a single charge, this compact crossover SUV is poised to give established players like Volkswagen’s ID.4 a run for their money. While the ID.4 may boast some impressive tech features, the BYD Seal U’s affordable price tag and impressive driving dynamics could make it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers.

While sharing a name, the electric SUV’s design diverges significantly from the sleek Seal sedan’s profile. The vehicle’s design is primarily built around a unique platform that features a more laid-back approach to steering and chassis dynamics.

The interior design boasts a sophisticated, high-end aesthetic that confidently rivals the likes of luxury brands in their own backyard, exuding a stylish, modern ambiance. The interior trim is meticulously designed to mimic the high-end crystal-like finish found in BMW vehicles, exuding a sense of luxury and sophistication.

Like many Chinese electric vehicles, the Seal U features a range of leisurely amenities, including a built-in selfie camera and karaoke microphone.

The BYD Seal U is available with two Blade Battery options: a 72-kilowatt-hour (kWh) choice and an 87-kilowatt-hour (kWh) option. The electric SUV boasts an impressive range of up to 261 miles (420 km), with a maximum potential of 310 miles (500 km), depending on the battery configuration.

The BYD Seal U prepares to challenge Volkswagen’s ID.4, boasting a considerable 4.59 meters in length and 19.2 cubic feet of cargo space that can expand to an impressive 55.6 cubic feet?

Volkswagen reported a significant increase in deliveries of its ID 4 model in Germany, with approximately 30,000 units sold in the past year, representing a substantial 62.9 percent year-over-year growth. After a 15-year streak, BYD recently surpassed Volkswagen’s gross sales in China. Will its new Seal U help boost gross sales for Volkswagen on its home turf in Germany?

BYD is set to introduce the Seal U at a starting price of €41,990 ($45,000), marking its entry into the European market. The Volkswagen Group’s enhanced ID.4, introduced in October, boasts an impressive WLTP range of up to 550 kilometers (342 miles), now available for a competitive price point of €40,335 ($43,600).
