Seal 6 DM-i vs the electric Seal
Despite the name, the Seal 6 is a different car from the electric Seal. It is a plug-in hybrid with a petrol engine and a much smaller battery, so it costs about £12,000 less in the UK and A$12,000 less in Australia. Choose the Seal 6 if you can't charge at home every night or drive long distances often; choose the Seal if you want a fully electric car.
Range and running costs
In the UK the Comfort saloon offers up to 65 miles of electric range and a combined petrol-plus-electric range of up to 935 miles; the Touring offers up to 62 miles electric. Charged daily, most commutes can be done on electricity, with the engine for longer trips.
Warranty
The Seal 6 DM-i gets BYD's 6-year vehicle warranty and an 8-year high-voltage battery warranty — 155,000 miles (250,000 km) in the UK since January 2026, 160,000 km in Australia. In the UAE, BYD quotes 6 years / 150,000 km and 8 years / 200,000 km on the battery.
Buying a used Seal 6
Used listings sometimes mix up the Seal 6 and the electric Seal. Decode the VIN to confirm the model, battery and build date, check that servicing follows the hybrid schedule, and ask for the recall and battery-health records.
