Automatic. 4WD.
Sleeps four.
A brand-new automatic 4WD SUV with a bed for two inside and a hardshell rooftop tent for two more. Our most comfortable camper: automatic gearbox, big modern cabin, and room for a family.
Automatic, roomy and new – the camper for a relaxed trip.
The Seal U is a modern family SUV turned camper. No clutch, no cramped cabin, no compromises on the long days: heated seats, a big screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a quiet ride.
Automatic gearbox
No clutch, no stalling on hills – the only automatic camper in our fleet.
4WD with F-road approval
Grip on wet, windy and gravel roads, and approved for F-roads that are officially open.
Room for four
Five seats by day, a bed for two inside and a rooftop tent for two more at night – with the whole boot for luggage.
New 2027 car
Delivered new in spring 2027 with full BYD warranty: 360° camera, heated seats, adaptive cruise control.
A bed inside.
A bedroom on the roof.
Fold the rear seats and the 1,440-litre boot becomes a bed for two on a self-inflating mattress. On the roof, a hardshell tent opens in under a minute into a second bedroom for two, with its own mattress, reached by a telescopic ladder.
Travel as a family or two couples and still have the whole car for luggage – or use the tent alone and keep the boot for gear.
Inside bed + rooftop bedroom.
The inside mattress is the same as in our Dusters: approximately 190 cm long, around 100 cm wide at the rear and widening to approximately 135 cm further forward.
The rooftop tent adds a separate 210 × 130 cm sleeping area for two. Together, the setup sleeps up to four people – and with the mattress packed away the Seal U seats five by day.
Inside bed: approx. 190 × 100–135 cm, for 2.
Rooftop tent: approx. 210 × 130 cm, about 150 cm headroom when open, for 2.
Seats up: 5 people by day, mattress folded in the boot.
The Ring Road on a few tanks.
Petrol 95 is available all around Iceland. The 60-litre tank gives you roughly 800 km between fuel stops in mixed driving – and the N1 discount card on the keychain makes every stop cheaper.
About 800 km per tank in mixed driving.
Petrol 95 at every N1, Olís and Orkan station around the Ring Road.
Automatic gearbox and adaptive cruise control for the long stretches.
Cold, wind and heating raise consumption – fill up before the long empty stretches in the east and north.

Made for the Ring Road, gravel roads and open F-roads.

Read our terms →Paved roads, gravel roads and officially open F-roads are fine.
Never drive through rivers, streams or any other water.
Off-road driving is illegal in Iceland. Water damage is never covered by insurance.

BYD Seal U camper FAQ
The practical questions worth answering before you book.
Is the BYD Seal U automatic?
Yes. The Seal U has an automatic gearbox – no clutch. It is the only automatic camper in our fleet.
Is it petrol or electric?
Petrol. You fill up at any station in Iceland; the N1 discount card is on the keychain. No charging, no range planning.
How many people can sleep in it?
Four: two inside on the folded rear seats and two in the hardshell rooftop tent. Both beds have their own mattress.
Can I drive it on F-roads?
Yes, on F-roads that are officially open – the same rules as for our Dusters, and never through water. It has less ground clearance than a Duster, so take the rough stretches slowly.
When is it available?
From 1 April 2027. It is delivered new that spring.
Is the rooftop tent hard to open?
No. It is a hardshell tent on gas struts: unclip two latches and it lifts into position in under a minute. Closing takes about the same.
