The European Launch of the sleek and sporty BYD SEAL D-sedan
Using BYD’s Ocean X Design Language, the dynamic BYD SEAL, built on the advanced e-Platform 3.0, epitomizes many of BYD’s latest technologies for safety, comfort and performance.
It is the first vehicle to utilise BYD’s innovative CTB (Cell-to-Body) technology which integrates the body and the Blade Battery for superior levels of structural strength, offering torsional stiffness at sports car level. The BYD SEAL all-wheel-drive also benefits from BYD's latest iTAC (Intelligent Torque Adaption Control) for advanced stability, handling and safety performance.
BYD SEAL is available in two trim levels: the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) 'Design' (230 kW) and the all-wheel-drive (AWD) ‘Excellence’ (390 kW), in six appealing colour options. The BYD SEAL offers a 570/520km (WLTP combined) driving range for practicality, with an exhilarating acceleration of 0-100 km in just 5.9/3.8 seconds depending on variant. The BYD SEAL utilises the 82.5 kWh ultra-safe, cobalt-free BYD Blade Battery.

We are working in conjunction with the very best dealer partners to create a network that delivers premium customer services and retail experiences. We look forward to expanding that further, giving more consumers the opportunity to experience the benefits and advanced technologies of BYD electric cars.”
Wolfgang Egger, BYD Design Director, added: “BYD’s design goal is to make a statement for the future, for new energy mobility to suit different needs. A key part of our design ethos is to preserve the motion and beauty of what we have enjoyed for so many years on ICE cars. And when we talk of the future, this goes beyond new platforms, new architecture choices, innovation in technology, and innovation in design. Our aim is to create an emotional connection, as we have done with the BYD SEAL and SEAL U through a combination of aesthetics, performance and technology.”
