BYD Lease Deals — Short Term, One Month to Eighteen
BYD has gone from unknown to everywhere in about three years, and the leasing question most businesses now ask isn't whether the cars are any good — it's whether they want to commit four years to a brand they've never run. A short term BYD lease answers that. One month to eighteen, one fixed monthly price plus VAT, and a hand-back date you choose.

Why a short term BYD lease
Residual values on newer brands are still settling. On a long lease that uncertainty is priced into your monthly figure; on a short one it barely matters, because you're handing the car back long before it becomes anyone's problem. If you're trialling BYD across a fleet before a bigger order, six or nine months tells you what a brochure can't.
The BYD range, honestly described
BYD Seal is the full-electric saloon. BYD Sealion 7 is the full-electric SUV. BYD Seal 6, BYD Seal U and BYD Sealion 5 are plug-in hybrids — DM-i, in BYD's language — so they have a petrol engine as well as a battery. That distinction matters for company car tax and for whether you need a charger at all, and it's worth being clear about it before you pick.
BYD short term lease questions, answered
Can we lease a BYD through the business?
Yes. Quotes are shown plus VAT, the credit assessment sits with the company, and you can stagger start dates across a fleet rather than align them.
Is a BYD cheap to run?
On the full-electric cars, yes — low Benefit-in-Kind, no fuel duty, and electricity at home costs a fraction of petrol. The plug-in hybrids only deliver that if you actually charge them. If you won't, a hybrid is just a heavy petrol car.
What happens at the end of a BYD lease?
One phone call and we collect it, free, from wherever it is. Extend if you want to keep it. There's no balloon payment and nothing to sell on afterwards.
Know the BYD you want, or just the shape of the problem?
Tell us the term and what the car has to do, and we'll tell you what's on the fleet and what it costs — plus VAT, with road tax and delivery in it. No long tie-in, no big outlay.
