Does the 2026 Spanish BYD Seal U DM-i Comfort PHEV have the longest electric-only range?

Yes in BYD Spain's March 2026 comparison: Comfort FWD lists 26.6 kWh and 125 km WLTP electric-only range, versus Boost FWD 18.3 kWh/80 km and Design AWD 18.3 kWh/70 km.

Equipment and year check: This is plug-in HYBRID, not fully electric SEAL U, pure-electric Seal, or Sealion 7. Its gasoline engine needs exact manufacturer maintenance guidance. EV-only WLTP range is not total range, and the Spanish 2026 configuration is not automatically a UK/Australia/Asian specification.

Ownership coverage / source edition versus exact vehicle

Your owner's reference: what's known and what's missing

We're bringing every international vehicle to the same evidence and maintenance structure as our exact-code dossiers. This page has manufacturer-edition information, not a fully verified chassis/VIN service record. Each topic below shows the current evidence level.

Factory model specifications

Model-edition evidence

3 original manufacturer-edition data points. Read each row's market, engine and equipment conditions; none covers every VIN.

Oil, fluids & scheduled maintenance

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

Exact oil fill, approvals, coolant and maintenance intervals require the correct engine, market and original owner/service manual.

Tyres, wheels & batteries

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

No universal tyre/pressure or battery value is claimed. Confirm the door placard, fitted wheel and exact factory electrical system.

OEM parts & fitment

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

No VIN-qualified replacement part has been reviewed. The vehicle model name alone is insufficient for fitment.

Warning lights & diagnostics

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

Engine/EV fault symptoms and model-specific repair evidence still need independent source review.

Recalls & campaigns

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

No VIN/jurisdiction-specific recall determination is available in this model research profile. Check the manufacturer's official VIN recall lookup.

Maintenance & DIY guides

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

No exact-variant DIY procedure is attached here yet. Text instructions will be published only after safety and source checks; images are managed separately.

No edition-compatible service dossier is currently attached to this model. A similarly named vehicle from another year, engine or market cannot fill the missing values.

For exact-chassis ownership data, use the published vehicle directory. Only vehicles with source-reviewed chassis facts appear there.

03 / Source and context

Original manufacturer documents

This page introduces a documented vehicle model family and a specific manufacturer edition. It is not a claim that all VINs or trims have identical service fills, batteries, tyres or fitment. An exact-generation maintenance fact must be reviewed independently before entering the chassis-linked catalog.
