BYD Models
BYD (Build Your Dreams) has rapidly entered the UK market with its Blade Battery technology and a range of competitive EVs like the Atto 3 and Seal. While their hardware and battery tech are highly praised, early UK owners have noted some software translation quirks and over-sensitive safety systems.
Seal U
A larger family SUV available as a plug-in hybrid (DM-i) or pure electric. It focuses on premium comfort and high equipment levels at a competitive price point.
Atto 3

Seal
