Elegant Design with a Sporty Edge
The BYD Seal EV is a visual treat. Drawing design inspiration from ocean waves and marine life, it has a streamlined, aerodynamic shape that enhances performance and appeal. With flush door handles, LED headlamps, and a low-slung stance, the Seal has the charm of a modern luxury EV. The coupe-like silhouette, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a full-width LED tail light setup complete its sporty yet elegant look. It promises to appeal to both enthusiasts and environmentally conscious buyers.
Power, Range, and Performance
One of the Seal’s biggest highlights is its impressive driving range. Equipped with BYD’s Blade Battery technology, the Seal EV offers up to 570 km (claimed) on a single charge for the standard rear-wheel-drive version. There’s also a more powerful dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant, offering slightly lower range but quicker acceleration. The top-end version can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds, putting it in the league of performance sedans. Fast charging is supported, with up to 150 kW DC fast charging, allowing 30-80% top-up in just 30 minutes.
Interior and Features
Inside, the Seal EV offers a premium and high-tech cabin with minimalistic styling. The dashboard is dominated by a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen with updated software, along with a digital instrument cluster and a head-up display (HUD). The car also features ventilated seats, wireless phone charging, ambient lighting, and over-the-air updates. Quality materials and soft-touch surfaces throughout the cabin enhance the overall comfort and luxury feel.
