BYD Seal 6 Saloon Featured Deals
Jon was excellent throughout the process, and really worked hard for me. There was a small price discrepancy, as the “in stock deal” on the website only indicated the price for a base model without any additional options, which was not actually possible to order - which I felt was a little misleading. However, Jon worked up a deal I was happy with, and communicated very well throughout the process - including following up with some issues after delivery. I will definitely use again.
Yeh, good service a bit of headache filling forms couple of times but turn around was very good and with the maintenance cover it’s peace of mind.
What's great: I'm now driving a lovely Lexus at a far more affordable price than I could find elsewhere. My contract includes a full maintenance deal which isn't always available with other providers. The sales process and arranging the finance was a good experience, with lots of support from Dave. Thanks Dave! BUT ... Once the contract had been agreed, communication was terrible. I was told that I would get access to the portal (which is the only way to track progress) 'shortly': it took 2 weeks and multiple phone calls and emails (initiated by me)to gain access. Promises to phone me back were not met. In the end, Dave sorted it out. Thanks Dave. The portal looked promising as it appeared that I could track my car's journey from the factory in Japan to delivery. However, apart from me uploading identity documents to it (not acknowledged until I got in contact), the portal did not change except to put my expected delivery date back a month (no explanation). Then out of the blue, the Lexus dealership phoned me to say that my car was ready for collection. This was surprising as the portal located the car in Japan, and gave me a bit of a dilemma as I needed to get rid of my current car at very short notice (anyone looking for an Audi Q2?). Nothing from Select Car until I contacted them to say where the car was. Their failure to contact me was apparently the Lexus dealership's fault in some way ... which I find hard to believe to be honest. I made the decision to collect the car rather than have it delivered, in order to get a proper dealership handover, which I was told was fine. Only nothing happened until I phoned Select Car and was told that I had to arrange collection directly with the dealer. That was news to me, but I did it, and was then sent regular emails informing me that my car was due to be delivered to my house on that date. A few more phone calls followed to sort that out ... Maybe I just had a poor experience. Maybe if you go for a car that is in stock rather than a factory order the process might be smoother. At the end of the day, I did get my car at a good price and within the original time frame, so on reflection I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. But it was a frustrating journey which some joined-up communications at Select Car would have made a happier overall experience.
About the BYD Seal 6 DM-i Saloon
The BYD Seal 6 DM-i Saloon might have a rather long-winded name, but it’s a compelling lease car that straddles the gap between fully-electric vehicles and those with a petrol engine.
A sibling to the electric BYD Seal, the BYD Seal 6 DM-i Saloon is a plug-in hybrid that offers a range of up to 65 miles using nothing but electricity. That 65-mile figure increases to 87 miles in city use.
A 1.5-litre petrol engine works in conjunction with a battery and electric motor to reduce CO2 emissions to as low as 34 g/km.
The ‘DM-i’ suffix, by the way, stands for ‘Intelligent Dual Mode’ - as the PHEV system combines the refinement and responsiveness of EV driving with the flexibility of a petrol-electric powertrain.
Why lease the BYD Seal 6 DM-i Saloon?
The Seal 6 DM-i Saloon sits in BYD’s range alongside the fully-electric BYD Seal and the plug-in hybrid BYD Seal U DM-i.
The Seal 6 isn’t as powerful as its stablemates, so if you’re looking for outright performance you’ll need to check out those cars instead.
But where the Seal 6 DM-i Saloon succeeds is in balancing modest pace with an extended EV range between charges - up to 65 miles in mixed use.
If you’re looking for even greater practicality, have a look at the BYD Seal 6 DM-i Touring estate instead.

BYD Seal 6 DM-i Saloon Frequently Asked Questions
The BYD Seal 6 DM-i Saloon is a plug-in hybrid that represents something unique in the leasing market - being one of the cheapest Saloon PHEVs available while undercutting rivals like the Audi A5 e-Hybrid Saloon and equivalent BMW 3 Series by some distance. It’s a sibling car to the fully-electric BYD Seal and the two vehicles share common styling, including a distinctive ‘X’ shaped front end.
The BYD Seal 6 DM-i Saloon is offered in both ‘Boost’ and ‘Comfort’ grades. The Comfort cars boast a larger battery, more power, and an extended EV driving range (up to 65 miles on a single charge). The entry-level Boost trim is generous and features a 12.8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a reversing camera.
The electric-only driving range of the BYD Seal 6 DM-i Saloon varies depending on which variant you choose to lease. The Boost version has an EV driving range of up to 34 miles on a single charge, while the Comfort grade (which has a larger battery) ups that figure to 65 miles (for mixed driving conditions - the figure is larger, at 87 miles, for city driving).
All versions of the BYD Seal 6 DM-i Saloon are powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine that works in conjunction with a battery and electric motor - which drive the front wheels. Power ranges between 184 PS to 212 PS, depending on which model you opt for, while performance is modest, with 0-62mph acceleration taking place in a max of 8.5 seconds.
Entry-level Boost variants are equipped with a 3.3 kW on-board charger that can replenish the energy in the battery from 15-80% in 3 hours. The range-topping Comfort trim adds a more powerful 6.6 kW on-board charger which reduces that AC charge time down to 2.7 hours. The Comfort grade also introduces rapid DC charging at 26 kW, which supports a 30-80% charge in 23 minutes.
