BYD Seal To Launch On March 5 – Bookings Open | V3Cars

BYD Seal – Design And Features

Unlike the crossover styling of its rival, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, the BYD Seal is a proper 3-box sedan. Design highlights include an all-glass roof, 4 boomerang-shaped LED DRLs, LED projector headlights, flush-fitting door handles and a full-width LED taillight at the rear. The BYD Seal is 4800mm long, 1875mm wide and 1460mm high and has a wheelbase of 2920mm. It offers a boot space of 320 litres.

The Seal is likely to offer a claimed range of 700km. It achieves this figure with the help of BYD’s Blade Battery technology. The BYD Seal is based on BYD’s dedicated EV platform – the e-Platform 3.0. Other highlights include BYD’s CTB (cell-to-battery) technology that integrates the battery into the body of the vehicle to improve safety, stability, handling and performance. This allows the Seal to have a 50:50 axle load distribution ratio.

Inside the cabin, the Seal is quite minimalistic and nowhere near as funky as the Atto 3, which could be a thing for executive car buyers looking for elegance over flamboyance. A 15.6-inch rotatable touch screen takes centre stage, while the driver gets a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display. Other feature highlights include the aforementioned glass roof and driver assistance systems like adaptive cruise control, lane departure assist, collision avoidance assist, and more.  

The electric sedan from BYD was spotted testing near Chennai recently and you can take a closer look at the India-spec BYD Seal below:

In global markets, the BYD Seal comes with 2 battery pack options – 61.4kWh and 82.5kWh. The 61.4kWh battery pack supports 110kW fast chargers and offers a range of 550km while the bigger 82.5kWh battery supports fast chargers with speeds up to 150kW and offers a range of up to 700km. We will have to wait for its India launch to know which variants we will get here.

The BYD Seal, when launched, will take on the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Mercedes-Benz EQB and the Volvo XC40 Recharge in terms of price. However, its prime rival will be the BMW i4, which is the only other electric sedan in this price range. Let us know what you think of the BYD Seal in the comments section below.
