You can see why BYD thinks the Sealion 5 U DM-i is going to be one of its biggest sellers. For its baseline 'Comfort'-spec price tag, obvious rivals can't offer Plug-in Hybrid tech - and aren't as spacious. It might well be a winning sales formula.
Unless of course you happen to object to the kind of caveats tend to apply to other BYDs - and most Chinese models of this type; uninvolving drive dynamics and intrusive ADAS features. But those things didn't put many people off this car's Seal U DM-i stablemate and this Sealion 5's potentially cheaper price makes such issues even less likely to be relevant here. Expect to see plenty of these about.
