(Redirected from BYD Seal DM-i)
Plug-in hybrid full-size sedan
Motor vehicle
The BYD Seal 07 DM-i (Chinese: 比亚迪海豹07 DM-i; pinyin: Bǐyǎdí Hǎibào 07 DM-i), previously the BYD Seal DM-i until 2024, is a plug-in hybridfull-size sedan manufactured by BYD Auto since 2023.
The vehicle was introduced in a prototype form at 2023 Auto Shanghai as the BYD Destroyer 07, and was renamed to the Seal DM-i when it went on sale to integrate it with the Seal series of sedans. Sold through Ocean Network dealerships, the Seal DM-i is positioned in the BYD's range as an alternative to the similar BYD Han, which belongs to Dynasty Network dealerships. It went on sale in September 2023 in China.
Overview
The Seal DM-i was originally called the Destroyer 07 and was planned to be the third product of the Warship Series model line. However, plans were changed in July 2023 just months before launch and the vehicle was launched as the Seal DM-i instead.
The stylistic design by Wolfgang Egger was maintained in the next generation of aesthetics already known from the electric Seal, distinguished, among others, muscular wheel arches, slim roofline and boomerang-shaped headlights. The rear lamps took the shape of water drops, dominating the band in the composition with a chrome strip. The cabin has a design identical to other models in BYD's Ocean Series product line. The central element of the dashboard is the 15.6-inch touchscreen of the multimedia system.
