BYD Seal: real-world fuel consumption
Fuel meter readings from 2,861 BYD Seal cars reported in 2024, split by engine.
Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 72 kW (98 hp) | 1,912 | 2.3 | 4.3 | 29% | +83% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 96 kW (131 hp) | 920 | 2.9 | 5.9 | 23% | +102% |
The official WLTP figure for plug-in hybrids assumes a share of electric driving based on range. When cars are charged less often than assumed, real consumption is far higher.
