Is BYD Seal 6 Touring the Best Plug-in Hybrid (Electric) Wagon Yet?
Can the new BYD Seal 6 Touring plug-in hybrid (PHEV) actually deliver on its claimed electric-only range in the real world?
In this video, I take the BYD Seal 6 Touring wagon on a dedicated pure EV battery range test starting at 99% state of charge. We look at real-world efficiency, driving dynamics in electric mode, regenerative braking performance, and whether this plug-in hybrid wagon offers the perfect bridge between petrol and full electric vehicles.
If you’re considering a practical family wagon and wondering if a plug-in hybrid makes sense over a full BEV or traditional hybrid, here is what you need to know.
