The BYD Seal DM-i (Chinese: 比亚迪海豹DM-i; pinyin: Bǐyǎdí Hǎibào DM-i) is a plug-in hybrid full-size sedan manufactured by BYD Auto since 2023. It was introduced in a prototype form at Auto Shanghai as the BYD Destroyer 07. The Seal DM-i is positioned in the range as a cheaper alternative to the older and more luxurious related Han. It went on sale in September 2023 in China.[3]
Overview

The Seal DM-i was originally called the Destroyer 07 and was planned to be the third product of the Warship Series model line. However, plans were changed in July 2023 just months before launch and the vehicle was launched as the Seal DM-i instead.[4][5][2]
The stylistic design by Wolfgang Egger was maintained in the next generation of aesthetics already known from the electric Seal, distinguished, among others, muscular wheel arches, slim roofline and boomerang-shaped headlights. The rear lamps took the shape of water drops, dominating the band in the composition with a chrome strip.[4] The cabin has a design identical to other models in BYD's Ocean Series product line. The central element of the dashboard is the 15.6-inch touchscreen of the multimedia system.[6][7]
