Best In-Car Technology 2026 – BYD Seal U
Onboard tech has come on leaps and bounds in recent years – here are the manufacturers doing it right according to owners

The BYD Seal U takes the win for Best In-Car Technology with owners noting “how much kit comes as standard and how premium it looks” and many enthusing about how much they love the panoramic sunroof. One owner admitted us they took a while to get used to all the tech inside, but it gives them “confidence in the car’s safety and makes driving it very easy”, while another gave us the soundest reason to recommend it to others. “The quality and amount of features you get at this car’s price point is hard to beat,” they told us.
The Seal U was up against some stiff competition from Tesla and JAECOO, but when a car’s internal tech makes you feel safe and like you’re getting an amazing deal it’s not hard to see why it wins in the minds of drivers.
Great job, BYD!
