Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility, a pioneer in the transition toward sustainable transportation in the UAE, has officially launched the BYD SEAL 7 DM-i, a premium plug-in hybrid sedan. As BYD’s flagship model in the D-segment, this innovative vehicle sets a new benchmark for performance, range, and technology in the hybrid EV sector.
Next-Generation Hybrid Technology
Equipped with BYD’s fourth-generation DM-i (Dual Mode – Intelligent) technology, the SEAL 7 combines a 17.6 kWh Blade Battery with an advanced hybrid energy management system. Drivers can enjoy up to 100 km of electric-only range and over 800 km of combined range (WLTP), all with exceptionally low fuel consumption. The system seamlessly integrates electric and hybrid power, delivering a quiet, smooth, and efficient driving experience, supported by BYD’s advanced D-Pilot driver assistance system.
Refined Design Inspired by the Ocean Series
The SEAL 7 DM-i boasts a sleek coupé-style silhouette with a sloping sport roofline, panoramic sunroof, and distinctive Dot Array rear lights. The design is inspired by BYD’s Ocean Series, blending futuristic elegance with aerodynamic function. Inside, the cabin rivals traditional luxury sedans with ventilated leather seats, a 15.6-inch HD rotating infotainment screen, 13 airbags, and optimized interior space for comfort and safety.
Leading the Way in Electric Mobility
With the growing demand for versatile electric solutions, the launch of the SEAL 7 DM-i represents a strategic milestone in Al-Futtaim’s mission to accelerate clean mobility in the UAE. Measuring 4,980 mm in length and with a 2,900 mm wheelbase, it is the largest plug-in hybrid sedan in its category—offering an ideal blend of performance, comfort, and sustainability.
Expansion of BYD Across the UAE
The launch comes as Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility continues to expand BYD’s footprint across the country. New retail locations are set to open in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Al Ain, enhancing accessibility for customers. The brand’s ecosystem also includes after-sales support, EV transport solutions, customer financing, and a growing EV charging infrastructure through the CHARGE2MOVE platform.
