Verdict
Berline et break hybrides rechargeables livrés en France depuis fin 2025, classés 5 étoiles à l'Euro NCAP (92 % protection adultes). Le recul est très faible : aucune panne ni aucun rappel documenté n'a été trouvé, mais les retours publiés manquent. Visez la version 212 ch, qui annonce 100 à 105 km d'autonomie électrique, et vérifiez l'état de la batterie et de la garantie.

Importing this model
Prices abroad
Not enough listings collected yet in Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy or the United Kingdom for this model.
You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history
HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults
Recent model: not enough hindsight yet (years, mileage) for faults to be publicly documented, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “BYD Seal 6 DM-i”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Inspection checklist
BYD Seal 6 DM-i I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Identifier la batterie : 10,08 kWh (Boost, 184 ch) ou 19 kWh (Comfort, 212 ch), l'autonomie électrique en dépend.
- Demander l'état de santé de la batterie et la date de fin de garantie constructeur.
- Faire contrôler par un concessionnaire BYD les campagnes de rappel éventuelles avec le numéro de série.
- Vérifier le câble de charge et la prise Type 2 fournis, et tester la recharge.
- Essayer le passage entre modes électrique et thermique, et les aides à la conduite.
Questions to ask the seller
- S'agit-il de la version 184 ch (Boost) ou 212 ch (Comfort) ?
- Y a-t-il eu des mises à jour logicielles ou des interventions sous garantie ?
- Quelle est la consommation réelle constatée, avec et sans recharge régulière ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
