BYD DM-i

BYD's DM-i (Dual Mode Intelligent) Super Hybrid is not just another plug-in hybrid — it's an electric-first powertrain that drives like an EV 90% of the time, burns just 2.6L per 100km, and offers a staggering 2,100km combined range. With the Seal U DM-i set to launch in India by late 2026, this is the most important hybrid technology to understand right now. We break down exactly how it works, why it beats traditional PHEVs, and what it means for Indian car buyers.
