Family, plug -in hybrid and with a price to break the market. The Byd Seal 6 DM-I, the second plug-in hybrid of the Chinese firm in our country, repeats the formula we have already seen with the Byd Seal U DM-I but now exports to the Berlina format (with family version or Touring included). For those who seek a lot of space, at a much better price than that of the rivals and capable of continuing to save when you think you had already saved the purchase.

When we talk about the Byd Seal U in Xataka We already commented that Byd’s play with his plug -in hybrid was almost perfect. It puts a family car on the market, comfortable and, above all, much cheaper than the rivals. Because yes, the Toyota C-HR with which he is fighting for being the best-selling plug-in hybrid costs the same but is much smaller. It is difficult not to start here this test of the BYD Seal 6 DM-I in any of its variants, sedan or family. The first option starts at 37,000 euros (before the discounts that we will detail). The family adds 2,000 euros more cost. If we are looking for rivals, a PEUGEOT 308 plug -in hybrid is in the 35,000 euros barrier and it is half a shorter meter. Literally. Below 40,000 euros, no brand offers plug -in hybridization with a similar size. Either below 45,000 euros. A plug -in hybrid Skoda (the closest for price) costs 48,000 euros at least. That is, its largest rival for size already part of about 9,000 euros more (before the discounts of each brand). With that premise it is easy to understand why ByD is hurting the plug -in hybrid market and planting Toyota with the only car in the market. Because up to the 6 DM-I by 6 DM-I, the car offers a good quality sensation and, with its highest equipment, the screen grows to 15.6 inches. Otherwise, All cars arrive as standard With: electric seats, heated and ventilated, heated steering wheel, interior in vegan leather, adaptive cruise control, 360 degree camera, bidirectional load, voice assistant, Android Auto or Carplay … to mention just some examples. The car also moves very applauded. It is far from the classic soft suspensions that have the rest of the byd cars and helps their enormous battle and a lower center of gravity to go much more on the site. We have not been able to study your adaptive cruise control with peace of mind but we can say that in general it has been correctly, little intrusive in lane maintenance. Of course, as we said, it is an analysis that lacks kilometers of a long -term test. What we can say is that the combustion engine of 1.5 liters with the gasoline engine is a bit fair. Despite its 212 hp, the car gives not accelerating with the power that its numbers say. It behaves very well llaneando, it is a comfortable car but it would be appreciated a better answer when the right pedal is stepped strongly. This is because, in the absence of a deeper analysis, this BYD Seal 6 DM-I prioritizes the use of the combustion engine as an electricity generator. This accumulates in the battery and in the vast majority of the circumstances, it is the electric motor that drives the wheels. Only when we have stepped together and sustained the effort in the accelerator, it shows that the … Read more
