There’s a nice variety of trims and materials that lend an air of quality to the range-topping Seal Performance.
The seats are a particular highlight, not only are they comfortable and supportive but they’re trimmed in soft, diamond-quilted leather that feels, here’s that word again, premium.Â
There plenty of technology, too, with a 15.6-inch multimedia touchscreen taking prime position in the centre of the dashboard. It runs an intuitive and clever system that allows you to control all the various functions, and it can even rotate 90 degrees.
BYD Seal 2024 Boot Space
The BYD Seal comes with 450 litres of luggage space, split between a 400-litre boot and a 50-litre storage space underneath the bonnet.
