BYD’S first wagon in Europe
The SEAL 6 DM-i Touring is the first BYD wagon to be introduced in Europe. It comes with convenience and practicality designed-in, the load space offering 500 litres of space with the rear seats in place, loading to the parcel shelf. Quick-release handles make it simple to lower the 40:60 split-folding rear bench, increasing the cargo volume to a maximum 1,535 litres. Access is made easy with a power tailgate, provided as standard on all versions.

Grades and equipment highlights
The entry point to the SEAL 6 DM-i range, and forecast best-selling version, is Boost, which comes equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, a 3.3kW on-board charger, automatic windscreen wipers and headlights, vegan leather upholstery and steering wheel trim, plus, a six-speaker audio system.

Multimedia functions are controlled using a 12.8-inch touchscreen and connectivity is supported by front and rear USB ports – four in total – and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The cabin also features power-adjustable front seats – six-way for the driver and four-way for the passenger – and footwell and door illumination. A smartphone key can be used for easy vehicle access.

The extensive active safety and driver assistance package includes rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, Blind Spot Detection and Driver Fatigue Management. Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Braking and warnings for forward and rear collision and door opening are also provided.

The Comfort grade builds on this specification with 15.6-inch multimedia touchscreen, 18-inch alloys, a 6.6kW on-board charger, door mirror puddle lights and rear privacy glass.
