The BYD Seal incorporates the brand's patented blade battery technology, enabling rapid charging capabilities. According to BYD, with a 150kW charger, the Seal's battery can be charged from 10-80 percent in a mere 37 minutes. Charging from 0-100 percent using a standard 11kW AC charger is expected to take approximately 8.6 hours.

BYD Seal Design and Features

Diverging from the popular crossover styling seen in competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, the BYD Seal takes on the classic 3-box sedan design. Notable design features include an all-glass roof, four boomerang-shaped LED DRLs, LED projector headlights, flush-fitting door handles, and a full-width LED taillight at the rear. With dimensions of 4800mm length, 1875mm width, and 1460mm height, the Seal offers a generous wheelbase of 2920mm and a boot space of 320 liters.

Inside the cabin, the Seal embraces a minimalist aesthetic, a departure from the flamboyant Atto 3. A 15.6-inch rotatable touchscreen takes center stage, complemented by a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display. Noteworthy features include the panoramic glass roof and advanced driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure assist, collision avoidance assist, and more. This combination of elegance and functionality positions the BYD Seal as an attractive option for executive car buyers.
