Car Deal of the Day: Seal the deal on this BYD electric saloon for just £289 a month

The BYD Seal is a seriously tempting Tesla Model 3 rival, especially at this price. It’s our Deal of the Day for 26 May

  • Just £289.01 a month

Last week we spotted the Tesla Model 3 had slumped in price, offering potential buyers a market-leading electric saloon for less than £300 a month. 

But, if the Model 3 isn't quite your cup of tea, what are your options? Well, the BYD Seal is one of several alternatives, and just like the Model 3, lease deals are seeming to be seriously tempting right now.

Through the Auto Express Find a Car service, VIPGateway is offering BYD's electric saloon for just £289.01 a month. 

This two-year deal requires a £3,648.09 initial payment, and mileage is limited to 5,000 a year. However, a more flexible 8,000-a-year limit can be arranged for an extra £21.33 a month.

There are only two versions of the BYD Seal, and this deal is for the entry-level model. In reality, though, unless you desperately want the all-wheel drive that comes with the top-spec car, the base-spec Design is all that you need.

Calling it base spec is a little unfair as it's no poverty model. It's packed with luxuries, such as 19-inch alloys wheels, a 360-degree parking camera, an upmarket 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system, and, rather impressively, electrically adjustable heated and ventilated front seats.

Design gets a rear-mounted electric motor that packs a punchy 312bhp. It's enough to send the Seal to 62mph in under six seconds, while the ride and handling is tuned to be comfortable and cosseting. 

Under the swoopy body lies an 82.5kWh battery, giving the Seal a claimed driving range of 354 miles. A 10-80-per-cent top-up from a rapid charger will take around 40 minutes thanks to 150kW max charging capacity – that's a bit slower than rivals, but not too unreasonable.
