BYD’s Boost vs Design: what’s the difference?

Differences between the BYD SEAL U DM-i’s Boost and Design specs

We know, we know.

Vehicle specifications can get confusing.

If it makes it easier, BYD’s specifications are listed alphabetically. The higher the spec, the later in the alphabet the name appears. For example: the BYD Dolphin’s Active, Boost, Comfort, Design.

BYD’s trim levels are generally quite similar since most features come as standard.

The BYD SEAL U DM-i luckily only has two trim levels which makes it a lot simpler.

But what’s the difference between the two?

Boost vs Design: what's the difference?

There isn’t much of a difference in terms of equipment! 

You do get an extra two driving modes in the Design spec, Sand and Muddy mode!

All safety systems and driving assistance technology is the same across trims.

So is the battery capacity (18.3kWh).
