The Seal is an all-electric sports saloon that offers attractive styling, a good driving range, fine handling and performance as well as generously equipped trim levels.
In this instalment of John Murdoch's Drive Time, Johnspends some time behind the wheel of the BYD Seal and reveals how Skoda is making it cheaper to buy its all-electric Enyaq SUV.
The Seal is currently available in two options. The Design version features a single motor for rear-wheel drive and costs £45,695, while the Excellence grade I sampled has two motors for all-wheel drive and is priced at £48,695. The cabin is dominated by a centrally-positioned 15.65-inch infotainment screen which acts as the car’s control centre.
With a total output of 530PS, the AWD Seal can power its way to 62mph from a standing start in just 3.8 seconds and tops out at 111mph. The Seal offers all the latest driver aids and safety systems to keep you in check if you get over enthusiastic and it has a five-star Euro NCAP rating. But it can also be fast charged with a maximum of 150kW and this will see a 30 to 80 per cent boost in 26 minutes.
