BYD Seal U Trims and Equipment

BYD Seal U Battery, Range

BYD Seal U battery capacity depends on whether you pick full electric or plug-in hybrid. The AT all-wheel-drive electric SUV uses a lithium-ion pack for daily range without petrol. The 1.5 AT 18.3 kWh front-drive hybrid also uses lithium-ion, so short trips can stay electric.
