3 · Everyday experience

What is the Seal 07 DM-i like to drive and use every day?

Only current English content and deterministic published facts are shown. Dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.

Driving & performance

Typical trims are strong, with a further step up on higher trims.

Published power, acceleration and drivetrain show how performance changes across trims; they do not replace an untranslated road-test verdict.

Published evidence

  • • Published power spans 160–200 kW across current trims.
  • • Published 0–100 km/h times span 6.9–8 sec 0–100 km/h.
  • • Drivetrain choices: Front-wheel drive.
  • Smooth power delivery, suitable for household use without dizziness
  • Compared to the high-performance version, the sudden acceleration is generally average
  • Quick start at traffic lights, and smooth lane changing and overtaking
  • Leading for typical maximum power across 12 series
  • Leading for typical 0–100 km/h across 10 series

Cabin comfort

Core comfort equipment is consistent across the lineup.

This conclusion uses only direct seat, suspension and climate equipment. Body dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.

Published evidence

  • • Suspension — Standard across all trims.
  • • Climate control — Standard across all trims.
  • Spacious front head and leg room, with a wide range of seat adjustments; chassis tuning is soft, filtering small and large bumps well, providing comfortable ride quality.
  • Comfortable seating position for people of different sizes
  • Low-slung body requires a slight head bow when entering and exiting

Space & practicality

Paying more does not buy a larger body or longer wheelbase.

All current trims use the same key body dimensions, so trim choice changes equipment and performance rather than cabin size.

Published evidence

  • • Seating capacity: 5 seats.
  • • Body length: 4,995 mm, unchanged by trim.
  • • Wheelbase: 2,900 mm, unchanged by trim.
  • • Audio system — Standard across all trims.
  • • Keyless access — Standard across all trims.
  • The pure electric range is sufficient for daily use, and the fuel consumption is low when the battery is depleted, providing an advantage in overall usage cost. The fast charging power of 40kW is not high, but it meets daily energy replenishment needs. The external discharge function is practical.
  • Low electricity cost for short trips, no range anxiety for long trips
  • Pure electric range is greatly affected by temperature, shrinking in winter
  • Leading for length across 12 series
  • Leading for wheelbase across 12 series

Smart tech & daily use

Core connected features are standard across the lineup.

Only formally defined connected, assistance, parking and display parameters are included.

Published evidence

  • • Driver assistance — Standard across all trims.
  • • Parking assistance — Standard across all trims.
  • • Center screen — Standard across all trims.
  • • OTA updates — Standard across all trims.
  • • Connected car services — Standard across all trims.
  • L2 level assisted driving is reliable in high-speed scenarios, but caution is needed in complex urban road conditions; panoramic imaging is clear, parking assist is useful, and it is user-friendly for novices.
  • Reduces fatigue during high-speed driving
  • Urban pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle recognition ability is average, not reliable

Reference data

Specs explained

High-value published parameters are shown only where the current visible trims provide them.

China list price

CN¥149,800–CN¥186,800

The published China list-price range shows the entry point and how far upper trims extend. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Mid-pack among comparable series with sufficient data

CLTC range

135–230 km

A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

WLTC range

110–180 km

A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Battery capacity

17.6–29.46 kWh

Battery capacity helps explain range potential, weight and charging needs. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

DC charging power

40–69 kW

Peak DC power indicates charging capability, while an actual stop also depends on the charging curve and conditions. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Above average among comparable series with sufficient data

Maximum power

160–200 kW

Published maximum power helps frame acceleration capability and overtaking reserve. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Maximum torque

260–315 N·m

Torque is one input to initial response; calibration, gearing and traction also matter. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

0–100 km/h

6.9–8 sec

A lower published 0–100 km/h time indicates quicker straight-line acceleration. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Drivetrain

Front-wheel drive

Drivetrain changes traction and can separate entry and performance trims. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Seats

5

Seat count is a capacity fact, not proof of passenger comfort. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Length

4,995 mm

Length affects road footprint and parking space; it does not directly prove cabin room. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Width

1,900 mm

Width affects road and parking footprint and may support shoulder room, without proving it. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Wheelbase

2,900 mm

Wheelbase is a packaging dimension and is not used alone as a ride-comfort conclusion. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Body style

Sedan

Body style helps frame access and cargo layout, but exact usability still depends on the vehicle. The published value is the same across all current trims.
