BYD Seal,China,Europe

Chinese brand’s first European PHEV offers up to 78 miles of electric range and has V2L to charge portable devices

New Seal U DM-i is the first plug-in hybrid BYD to go on sale in Europe Bi-motor, all-wheel drive U Design has turbo 1.5, delivers 319 hp and 50-mile EV range FWD, single-motor Boost and Comfort-spec PHEVs make 215 hp and travel up to 78 miles Western automakers already feeling the pressure from affordable Chinese EVs landing in Europe now have another worry: Chinese PHEVs.

6 kWh pack capable of traveling 78 miles between charges. And for drivers who want more power and are prepared to sacrifice some range, there’s the top-spec Design trim, which adds turbocharging and all-wheel drive into the mix. The Design’s 129 hp combustion motor is supplemented, or maybe that should be supplanted, by a 201 hp motor driving the front axle and a 161 hp unit at the back end with a combined 319 hp and 406 lb-ft . Zero to 62 mph is done and dusted in 5.
