BYD Seal U with intelligent Cockpit System & BYD app

BYD ha lanciato sul mercato europeo il SUV elettrico BYD Seal U

With an abundance of equipment and intelligent technology, and a high specification as standard, the BYD Seal U represents exceptional value in its category.

As one of its primary elements, the Seal U offers smart connectivity and infotainment, even remotely via the BYD app on your smartphone. BYD’s Intelligent Cockpit System is operated by the 12.8 or 15.6 inch electrically rotatable screen – with which you can choose whether you want the screen in landscape or portrait format – while a variety of driver information is displayed on the 12.3 inch full instrument LCD panel. Providing an exceptional personalized connected experience, the Intelligent Cockpit System also offers a 4G connection, integrated Spotify and HERE navigation, smartphone integration via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and intelligent voice control that can be activated with the voice command “Hi BYD”. The system uses Over-The-Air (OTA) updates to keep itself fully up to date.

In terms of connectivity, the BYD Seal U goes a step further, by enabling to control multiple vehicle functions remotely via the BYD app on the smartphone or other mobile device.

Advanced safety technology

As with all BYD’s in the line-up, the brand sets high standards for passive and active safety. The BYD Seal U has therefore been developed to be one of the safest electric family SUV’s in its class. In addition to the extensive use of high-strength steel and an ultra-strong honeycomb panel structure to protect the battery pack, the Seal U also offers solid chassis dynamics and a safe road holding with its MacPherson front suspension and multi-link rear suspension.

To keep an eye on the traffic, warn the driver or even intervene to (help) prevent an road accident, the BYD Seal U is equipped as standard with an extensive range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) which use four radars and one camera. Such as Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Control, Blind Spot Detection System, and many more. The Design-version also features Head Up Display. During night driving, you can rely on full-LED lighting technology to aid visibility, including high beam assist and adaptive headlights as standard. To help the driver manoeuvre safely, a panoramic camera provides 360-degree visibility on the centre screen, even from above and round the car with the help of an animated car. By cleverly combining the images from multiple wide-angle cameras, it seems as if you are watching from a short distance how you’re manoeuvring the car yourself.
