"But you know BYD's really serious when it comes to the party with something Europeans love, but doesn't really resonate with American or Chinese buyers: a wagon. Or an estate car, as it's known in the United Kingdom. That would be the new BYD Seal 6 DM-i Touring, a plug-in hybrid that's aimed for volume sales at a time when Europe's EV uptake is growing but often volatile."
"While Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Renault and others showed off bold new plans for electric vehicles, autonomous driving and advanced software, it was no secret they're all catching up to things China's automakers are already doing. And arguably, the one playing offense the hardest is BYD. The Chinese giant has been making inroads in Europe for a while now-go to any major European city these days, and you're sure to see lot of its cars. It's even outselling Tesla across the continent."
BYD announced major plans to expand its presence across Europe, emphasizing models across price segments from the Dolphin Surf to the premium Denza brand. The company introduced the Seal 6 DM-i Touring, a plug-in hybrid wagon tailored for Europe's popular estate-car market. The Seal 6 pairs a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with a 19‑kilowatt-hour LFP battery and claims a total 1,300 kilometers of range under WLTP-like testing. BYD also plans to deploy Megawatt charging in Europe, capable of adding roughly 400 kilometers (250 miles) of range in about five minutes. BYD continues strong city-level penetration and outsells competitors continentwide.
