The interior of the BYD Seal DM-i, previously known as Chaser 07 (Destroyer 07), was officially revealed in China. It features nice and minimalistic design, and lots of modern tech. Moreover, the Seal DM-i has a huge 15.6-inch rotatable screen and W-HUD. We will remind you that this sedan got up to 200 km of fully electric range.

Interior of the BYD Seal DM-i

As we can see in official images, the interior of the Seal DM-i stays in line with spy shots that we have previously covered. Alongside with BYD Seal EV, Dolphin and Seagull, this model adopts the design language called “Ocean Aesthetics”. It comprises distinguishing door handles that look like seashells, a steering wheel, similar to the fish’s tail, and the center console that also looks like a fish’s tail. The interior is finished in a white-purple color scheme.

On the other hand, the Seal DM-i brings some new design features. One of them is a center tunnel. It is quite wide, with two wireless phone charging pads, a small crystal gear selector (BYD calls it “Ocean Heart”), a set of physical buttons and a set of touch buttons. What is more, the center tunnel of the Seal DM-i got a hidden compartment with two cup holders.

The center console of the Seal DM-i has a signature BYD’s floating rotatable screen with a diameter of 15.6 inches. As for the instrument panel, it is represented by the 10.25-inch screen. And, if these screens aren’t enough, you can also have a W-HUD. We can also underline that the Seal DM-i’s sound system is made by Dynaudio, a consistent BYD supplier.

On the second row of the BYD Seal DM-i, we can notice lots of space and the flat floor. It has an armrest, three headrests, and ISOFIX interface. The second row of this sedan got relatively long cushions. Here, we will also underline that the Seal DM-i has a 31-color ambient lighting.
