There's lots you might conceivably like here. The smooth powertrain should feel very much like the EV this Seal U DM-i will be on most commuting journeys. There's also lots of rear seat space, decent cabin quality and loads of equipment. Plus the EV claimed mileage of the longer-ranging 'Comfort' model is difficult to better in this class of mid-sized PHEV.
We can't help being a little disappointed though, that the avant-garde design and sharp handling of the Seal EV saloon wasn't replicated here. Still, quite a few likely customers won't care very much about that and if you don't and want a family EV alternative, this Seal U DM-i certainly merits a place on your shortlist for mid-sized PHEVs.
