About the BYD Seal U SUV
BYD typically specialises in fully-electric vehicles, with cars like the Atto 3 SUV, Dolphin crossover and the Seal saloon.
The Seal U - a compact SUV first introduced in 2024 - offers something different as it boasts a fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain that should appeal to lots of different lease customers.
The style of the Seal U mirrors that of the BYD Seal saloon, coming with an X-shaped front end and U-shaped headlights that blend into the bonnet.
There’s also a sophisticated cabin that features wrap-around ambient lighting, two large digital screens, heated and ventilated front seats, and an eye-catching crystal gear shifter.
Why lease a BYD Seal U SUV?
Motorists will be attracted to the BYD Seal U because it boasts the best of all worlds.
Its plug-in hybrid engine can travel up to 78 miles using electricity, meaning some urban drivers will never need to switch it out of ‘EV’ mode.
There’s ample amounts of power, too, with range-topping models equipped with 324 PS, 550 Nm of torque, and 0-62mph acceleration time of just 5.9 seconds.
Fast 18 kW DC charging can also take the Seal U’s battery 30-80 percent full in 35 minutes.
Which BYD Seal U powertrain is right for me?
18.3 kWh ‘Blade’ battery
The ‘Design’ and the ‘Boost’ versions of the BYD Seal U both feature a 18.3 kWh battery - as well as a 1.5-litre petrol engine - with power outputs of either 218 PS or 324 PS. Expect an EV range of around 43 miles.
26.6 kWh ‘Blade’ battery
The ‘Comfort’ grade BYD Seal U gets a larger 26.6 kWh battery, working in conjunction with a 1.5-litre petrol engine, which unlocks an EV range of up to 78 miles.
Which BYD Seal U SUV trim level should I lease?
Boost
The front-wheel drive Boost trim features a 1.5-litre petrol engine, a 18.3 kWh battery and power of 218 PS. You can also expect adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane change assist tech to be fitted as standard.
Comfort
The Comfort grade adds a larger 26.6 kWh battery and gets a range of up to 78 miles using electricity alone.
Design
The BYD Seal U in Design trim sacrifices EV range for power, coming with 324 PS and a rapid 0-62mph acceleration time of 5.9 seconds.

I had a great experience and good customer service from Garry Rahman, from the moment I enquired for a car quotation to delivery. He is professional, respectful and answered all my questions very patiently. There was no pressure to take a decision in haste which I really liked. He explained all my options clearly and made the entire car buying experience smooth and hassle free. I definitely recommend Garry to anyone who is looking to buy a car. Thank you Garry.
Efficient and professional team
This is the third lease company I’ve used, but in terms of the ordering process, the communication, the documentation and the speed of delivery I would have to place Select first for customer service. I also secured a great price (for a Hyundai Tucson) as well as having the flexibility of not needing to pay a deposit, which made the deal very attractive. However, I’m fully aware that you can’t truly judge a car leasing company until the end of the contract when the car is being returned, as that is what genuinely separates one leasing company from another. On that basis, my rating is based on the relationship to date. The delivery of the car itself was one area where I have experienced a superior service from another lease company. The company in question would deliver their cars on a transporter so the cars were delivered to my house in immaculate condition with something like 20 miles on the clock. The car I received a few days ago was driven about 100 miles to my home, on a rainy day in December, so it was handed over to me dirty. A relatively minor point.
