How much?
Whilst the Sealion 5 isn’t quite comparable in terms of driving dynamics or power, it’s likely to attract interest given its price compared to the German competition. Starting at £29,995 for the ‘comfort’ model, the Sealion 5 offers a great overall package for a very reasonable price with standard features including cruise control, vegan leather, reverse cameras, driver monitoring, and multiple other safety systems. The top spec model, named ‘design’, is just a few thousand more at £32,995. For that, you get additional convenience features, including a 360-degree camera system, a power-assisted tailgate, and heated front seats.
At the time of launch, the monthly costs (which BYD says is how most of its customers purchase its cars) are also competitive. The comfort model is available for £299pm with a £2,000 deposit, and the design model is £319pm with a £3,000 deposit.
