Brand New BYD SEALION 5 Comfort Joins the Abacus Vehicle Hire Fleet

We’re excited to introduce the latest addition to the Abacus Vehicle Hire fleet – the brand new BYD SEALION 5 Comfort.

Our new BYD SEALION 5s have joined our Medium Estate Car range, replacing the Nissan Qashqai and bringing a modern, comfortable and well-equipped hybrid SUV to the fleet.

Whether you’re heading away for the weekend, taking a family trip or simply need a spacious car for a few days, the SEALION 5 is a great choice for your next hire.

A modern hybrid SUV

The BYD SEALION 5 combines electric and petrol power, giving you the flexibility of hybrid driving for both everyday journeys and longer trips.

With a comfortable driving position, smooth automatic transmission and responsive performance, it’s designed to make getting around easy and enjoyable.

The SEALION 5 Comfort can also deliver up to 62km of electric-only driving under WLTP testing, while the petrol engine provides the flexibility you need for longer journeys.

Plenty of space for passengers and luggage

As a Medium Estate Car, the SEALION 5 is ideal for customers who need a little more room.

It seats five passengers comfortably and has a 463-litre boot, giving you plenty of space for luggage, shopping and everything else you might need on your journey.

Need even more room? Fold the rear seats down and boot capacity increases to up to 1,410 litres.

That makes the SEALION 5 a practical option for family trips, weekends away and longer journeys.

You’ll also have access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it simple to connect your smartphone for navigation, music and calls.

The front seats are heated, with electric adjustment for added comfort – perfect for longer journeys.
