With this launch, Al-Futtaim reinforces its leadership in offering eco friendly mobility solutions tailored to the expectations of the local market.
Hybrid Efficiency Meets GCC Ready Performance
The BYD SEAL 7 DM-i is powered by a smart hybrid system built on BYD’s fourth generation DM-i technology, engineered to deliver dynamic performance that adapts to various driving scenarios across the region. The system pairs a 17.6 kWh Blade battery with an intelligent hybrid powertrain that ensures a seamless switch between electric and fuel modes, providing a smooth and economical driving experience. Drivers can enjoy a fully electric driving range of up to 100 kilometers, while the total range exceeds 800 kilometers based on WLTP standards, making it a practical option for daily urban commutes and longer journeys across the country.
Beyond performance, the SEAL 7 DM-i also integrates regenerative braking to recover energy during deceleration, supported by a smart energy management system that optimizes fuel use and boosts efficiency. These features make the sedan a perfect fit for urban hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where daily driving demands both fuel economy and reliability.
Ocean Inspired Design and a Cabin Packed with Smart Luxury
The SEAL 7 DM-i draws its visual identity from BYD’s Ocean series, featuring flowing aerodynamic lines and a coupe style sloping roof. This sleek silhouette is enhanced by a panoramic sunroof and striking Dot Array LED taillights that lend the car a bold and elegant presence on the road, while also optimizing airflow for improved efficiency.
Inside, the SEAL 7 DM-i offers a tech rich, premium cabin designed to rival traditional luxury sedans. Passengers are greeted with ventilated leather seats, a high resolution 15.6 inch rotating touchscreen that controls infotainment and vehicle settings, and a premium surround sound system. The cabin also boasts 13 strategically placed airbags, elevating occupant safety. For added driver confidence, the D-Pilot suite includes advanced features like lane departure alerts and forward collision warning, ensuring a safer, smoother, and more intuitive driving experience.
A Strategic Investment in Infrastructure and After Sales Support
Hassan Nergis, General Manager of Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company, affirmed that the SEAL 7 DM-i offers a practical solution by combining the benefits of electric driving with the extended range of hybrid technology. This reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering flexible mobility solutions tailored to the needs of the UAE market. In line with this launch, Al-Futtaim has announced plans to expand its BYD showroom network to include new locations across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain, and Ras Al Khaimah.
Al-Futtaim is also developing a comprehensive ecosystem to support new energy vehicles, including financing solutions, technical support, and a nationwide EV charging infrastructure through its CHARGE2MOVE platform. These initiatives underline the brand’s long term vision of leading the shift toward a more sustainable and accessible electric future.
The BYD SEAL 7 DM-i stands out as a promising choice for drivers in the UAE seeking the perfect balance of performance and innovation. It is now available for test drives and pre orders at BYD showrooms across the country, offering a redefined approach to premium hybrid motoring.
