Find your perfect SEAL

With its plush interior, generous equipment levels and long range, the BYD Seal is well worth considering if you’re in the market for an electric saloon and don't want a Tesla. But if you are happy to consider a Model 3, that car is cheaper and even better.

Stepping up to range-topping Excellence trim doesn't get you any more luxuries, but it does bring a second motor for four-wheel drive, while a torque-vectoring system further enhances traction.

This model's second electric motor also ups power from 308bhp to 523bhp. That's enough for 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds, although the official range does drop slightly compared with the RWD model – from 354 miles to 323 miles.
