Exterior
Ocean aesthetics connect with nature
Designed by BYD’s Global Design Director Wolfgang Egger, the SEAL 5 DM-i saloon car blends sophisticated elements into a clean profile that helps to deliver outstanding efficiency.
The front adopts BYD’s latest ‘Ocean X’ look, with a distinctive mix of water-inspired flowing shapes and crisp lower flying fins to give a dynamic aesthetic.
Full LED headlights
The front of the SEAL 5 DM-i is defined by the sophisticated headlamps, which are in keeping with the rest of the BYD family. LED daytime running lights are available as standard
Continuous water-drop tail-lights
Inspired by nature, the futuristic tail-lamps combine strips of lights with water-shaped dots, creating a sense of movement and energy that makes the BYD SEAL 5 DMi instantly recognisable on the road.
Interior: Where space meets sophistication
Fluid elegance: water-inspired interior
The water influence from the SEAL 5 DM-i’s exterior is mirrored inside, where water drops inspire a design that ‘flows’ around the occupants. Soothing, sophisticated shapes and a premium finish create a sophisticated look to match the generous space on offer in this plug-in hybrid saloon car.
