Collected my Ocean Blue BYD Seal 06 GT AWD (310 kW / 415 bhp, e-Platform 3.0 Evo) in Manchester on Friday and took it over the Snake Pass and Cat & Fiddle in the Peak District at dawn on Sunday!

• Turn-in is razor sharp, and with the shorter hatchback wheelbase + iTAC AWD torque vectoring, it rotates out of wet hairpins like an electric Golf R / Focus RS.
• Still returns 3.9 miles/kWh when driven sensibly in Normal mode on the commute!
