Do not compare by registration year alone

Cars registered near a model-year change can differ in trim, equipment or software. Confirm the exact variant and build information before buying accessories or relying on a feature list.

Verified 2026 UK range figures

  • SEAL 2026 Design: official range listed as 354 miles
  • SEAL 2026 Excellence: official range listed as 323 miles

These are official comparison figures, not guaranteed real-world distances. MyBYD’s model hub links the dated UK source and keeps real owner observations separate.

A useful viewing checklist

  • Boot and front-storage layout
  • Phone-key availability and compatible device
  • Driver-monitoring and assistance controls
  • Wheel size, tyres and exact trim
  • Installed software version

Use the vehicle specification and official source for the individual car; do not treat a generic “facelift” list as a substitute.

How to use this model-year information

  1. Confirm the first-registration date, trim and drivetrain from the vehicle documents.
  2. Record the complete software version from the vehicle rather than relying on appearance alone.
  3. Compare the listed feature with the specification or manual for that exact UK car.
  4. If buying used, test the feature in the actual vehicle before agreeing that it is fitted.
  5. Keep a copy of the seller or retailer specification used for the decision.

Do not infer from styling alone

A registration year, wheel design or centre-screen layout may overlap between versions. Equipment, charging and assistance features can also vary by trim. Use the VIN only through a private official channel when BYD confirmation is required.

Manufacturer reference

Use the linked manufacturer document or page alongside the instructions supplied with your exact vehicle.
