Car Deal of the Day: 503bhp BYD Seal is a power per pound bargain at £276 a month

BYD’s take on the Tesla Model 3 is looking seriously good value right now. It’s our Deal of the Day for 12 March.

  • Huge power output; loads of standard kit
  • 323-mile range
  • Only £276.20 a month

Lease prices have fallen yet again for one of the more complete electric saloons around – the BYD Seal is now a bonkers £276.20 a month, making it considerably cheaper than its chief rival, the Tesla Model 3.

Through the Auto Express Buy A Car service, UK Carline is offering the Chinese electric four-door for around £35 cheaper a month than its American rival – and that’s direct from Tesla itself.

All that’s needed to get this two-year deal off the ground is a 12-month initial payment of £3,584.44, with mileage capped at 5,000 a year. Raising that limit to 8,000 a year will cost you another £32.42 a month, so this deal is better for lower mileage drivers. 

If that 12-month upfront sum is a little steep, nine months comes in at £3,032.95, with the monthly outlay only rising to £307 on the nose. 

What’s rather incredible about this deal is that it’s for the range-topping Excellence model. This means twin electric motors and 523bhp, delivering 0-62mph in a breathtaking 3.8 seconds. 

The dual motors get their juice from an 82.5kWh battery pack, unlocking a range of 323 miles. A maximum DC charging rate of 150kW means 20-80 per cent is complete in around 30 minutes. 

Excellence trim also brings plenty of goodies. As standard, it gets adaptive dampers, 19-inch alloys, a panoramic glass roof, a head-up display and Dynaudio sound system, plus BYD's famous 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen.
