The second model for Ireland from the Chinese EV maker BYD has debuted at the Munich IAA Mobility Show, writes Brian Byrne. First deliveries of the Seal are expected here in the last quarter of the year.
Prices in Ireland will start at €40,567 for an entry model coming next year, while the first grades coming here will cost €44,036 and €49,836.
There will be two drivetrain options with the Seal, in RWD and AWD, with rated ranges of 570km and 520km respectively. Fast charging at appropriate 150kWh stations can go 30pc-80pc in less than half an hour.
