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.

BYD Sealion 5 SUV review
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you can’t fail to have noticed that Chinese brands are making major in-roads into the UK leasing scene, and few manufacturers have been as successful as BYD.
BYD’s sales in the UK have skyrocketed, with a 500% uptick in 2025 compared with 2024 and with the firm having now established itself as the world’s biggest seller of electric vehicles, overtaking Tesla.
While BYD bills itself as specialists in fully-electric cars, like the Tesla Model 3-rivalling BYD Seal and the bargain basement BYD Dolphin Surf, it has also embraced plug-in hybrid tech.
And this, the Sealion 5, is the latest PHEV to join the party, hot on the heels of the Seal 6, the plug-in hybrid Atto 2, and the Seal U (the latter of which is the best-selling PHEV in Britain).
The Sealion 5 is a mid-size SUV that’s aimed squarely at customers with families. It’s got similar proportions to leasing heavyweights like the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson and the MG HS.
But where the Sealion 5 is hoping to carve a niche for itself on school runs across the land is that it’s exclusively available as a plug-in hybrid and, with a cost that begins at just £29,995, it undercuts a slew of competitors on price.
In fact, the Sealion 5 is so temptingly priced that it competes with similarly sized internal combustion engine-powered SUVs.
Yet despite the relatively small outlay, you can still expect an abundance of creature comforts, with base models boasting 18-inch alloys, black vegan leather upholstery, electrically-adjustable seats, and a large 12.8-inch touchscreen.
An EV driving range of up to 53 miles on a single charge sweetens the deal, as it’s highly competitive for the class (without leading it).

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.
