Naughty naughty BYD ! So, in Europe and the U.K. the BYD Seal is still selling well and has had a recent facelift ( MY 2026 ). Some new colours including a stunning Ruby Red, new rims and a larger frunk and boot/trunk. The infotainment screen does not now rotate but that is one of those features that rarely gets used anyway. Surely the biggest attraction, apart from the new red colour if you like that, is an additional 85 ltrs of storage in the back !! But, it has been claimed that BYD are now adding the underfloor storage in the calculation and the actual dimensions haven’t changed !! Seems unlikely that they would do that ?? Anyway The Electric Seal breaks out the tape measure to determine the truth: Spoiler !! For those who can’t be bothered watching the video here’s the result. The frunk is indeed larger by 19 ltrs as is obvious. But, the boot/trunk is exactly the same size and BYD have added the underfloor storage into the equation for the facelifted version !! It has been also reported ( new MY 26 owners in a uk fb group ) that the second underfloor storage section which houses the pump/foam and a couple of other items is now included in the “ additional “ 85 ltrs of rear storage and the above items are supplied without the foam insert and loose in the boot !!, quite scandalous I would say !! ( if true ).
