Starting from 149,800 yuan, BYD Seal DM-i Glory Edition went on the market.

A few days ago, BYD officially announced that its DM-i glory version was listed, with a price range of 149,800-219,800 yuan, and a total of six models were launched. Like other glory models, the price of Seal DM-i glory version has also decreased compared with before. Not only that, the entry-level 121KM elite model and 121KM luxury model have also been upgraded for configuration.

The appearance of Seal DM-i Glory Edition is consistent with that of the old model, which continues the design concept of "marine aesthetics". The design of the front grille is inspired by the ripples of the waves. Through trapezoidal openings and chrome-plated decorative strips, the boundary of the traditional grille is weakened step by step, and the five parallel lines formed effectively stretch the visual width of the front face.

There is a nose protruding forward above the grille, which presents a visual effect ready to go, and the English logo "BYD" is embedded in the hood. The headlights on both sides are relatively long and narrow, and the far and near lights inside are arranged horizontally, which looks quite unique. The bottom is also equipped with a vertical imitation air inlet decoration, and a segmented vertical light strip is integrated to ensure the sense of movement of the front face, which also helps to further enhance the eye-catching effect after lighting.

The DM-i side of the seal adopts the shape of sliding back, and with the hidden door handle, the visual effect looks quite smooth and dynamic. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4980/1890/1495mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, which is a B+ class car.

In the car, the glory version of Seal DM-i has not changed either. It is equipped with a 10.25-inch embedded full LCD instrument, and a hood is added above it to prevent reflection. The iconic 15.6-inch adaptive rotatable suspension Pad continues to be equipped, and the whole system is equipped with DiLink 100 system. The system is developed based on 6-nanometer 5G chip, and the CPU computing power is increased to 136K DMIPS, and it supports functions such as full-scene voice, map/wallpaper dual desktop.

In terms of configuration, the two entry-level models add streamer gray interior color matching options, the 121KM elite model is increased, and the 12.8-inch central control panel is upgraded to 15.6 inches; The 121KM luxury model adds adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, emergency lane keeping assistance, front seat heating/ventilation, wireless charging of 50W mobile phone, etc.

In terms of power endurance, Seal DM-i Glory Edition continues to provide two plug-in hybrid systems and two endurance versions, consisting of Xiaoyun-plug-in special 1.5L high-efficiency engine/Xiaoyun-plug-in special turbocharged 1.5Ti high-efficiency engine, with EHS electric hybrid system and DM-i super hybrid special power blade battery.

Among them, the 1.5L engine has a maximum power of 81 kW and a peak torque of 135 Nm. It is equipped with a driving motor with a maximum power of 145 kW and a peak torque of 325 Nm, with an acceleration time of 8.2 seconds per 100 km. Under NEDC working conditions, the cruising range of pure electricity can reach 121 km, and the fuel consumption per 100 km is only 3.9 liters under power failure.

1.5Ti engine has a maximum power of 102kW and a peak torque of 231Nm. It is equipped with a driving motor with a maximum power of 160kW and a peak torque of 325Nm. The acceleration time of 100km is 7.9 seconds. It has two pure electric endurance versions of 121km and 200km (NEDC working condition), and the corresponding fuel consumption of 100km under power failure is 4.2L and 4.4L respectively.

Seal DM-i is the first B+ hybrid car of BYD Ocean Network, which has a more fashionable and sporty appearance, while the interior of the new car pays more attention to the creation of luxury texture, focusing on the relatively young market. Since its listing in September last year, its sales volume has also been considerable. After the launch of the Glory Edition, the starting price threshold will be lowered to 149,800 yuan, which is bound to further enhance the market competitiveness and sales volume of this car.
