The Austrian BYD website has renders of the new ones but not actual pictures

The boot space increase alone would make me cancel and reorder since imo boot space compared to competitors was the Seals biggest problem.

Yeah I definitely want the MY26 and I like the wheels better too. I just wasn't sure whether to keep my colour choice and save on the cost or keep the cost and choose another colour.
I'm leaning towards ruby red now although think I'd need to switch to black interior for that to work

Das kann ja nicht war sein...vor kurzem noch mit meiner Partnerin geredet wie geil der Seal in Rot wäre oder ob uns Rot nicht auf die Nerven gehen würde und ZACK: BYD Seal in rot erhältlich...

I only knew because was picking company car and Ruby Red was an option. Stuck with indigo grey in the end as feel I’d need to see the red in person. If a real metallic candy apple red I might regret choice… can’t tell if it’ll be quite flat.
The indigo seemed safest option

Haven't seen the new wheels tbh. But if they're black then yeh red exterior murdered out everywhere else would be my choice. Though red and white work....though the interior is more of a blue if I remember right. Kinda wish I'd held off before ordering my EV now, really like the Seal but have an IM5 coming in a few weeks.

From the Austrian link posted. I've now sent an email asking if my order can be amended to this with black seats...

Yep I dig it. Wheels are nice too though I did like the previous ones, these are more aggressive though.

I was also thinking of ordering the Seal through my company as they had all the old colors, myself going for black, but the red does look nice with those wheels. I'm guessing a new order will have huge wait times.
Do you know if they gave you an estimate for the wait time?

I haven't heard back yet but my current lease runs until mid July so won't be before then. The order portal is showing a lead time of a month which feels unrealistic

In a similar boat. Current lease ends at the end of June. I'm thinking of ordering it ASAP.
Although, on my company portal, from where I am ordering, I can see that they are allowing me to choose the red color.
