2025 BYD Seal Unveiled in China

BYD has unveiled the 2025 Seal electric sedan in China. The new 2025 model showcases advanced SiC (Silicon Carbide) technology and is the first BYD sedan to feature a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor, enhancing its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

Customers can choose between two battery options: 61.44 kWh and 80.64 kWh, offering a CLTC range of 510 km to 650 km. The standard model features a 170 kW (228 hp) rear motor, while higher trims offer a 230 kW (308 hp) variant and a top trim with 390 kW (523 hp) and all-wheel drive.

The 2025 Seal is built on the e-Platform 3.0 Evo, the same platform used for the Sealion 07. It boasts a 1,200V SiC control system and a high-performance motor capable of 23,000 rpm, achieving a top speed of 240 km/h and accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.

The design of the 2025 Seal remains largely similar to the current model but with notable updates in the interior. It includes a new four-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel and BYD’s signature rotating large central floating control screen. The minimalist interior features a center console with physical buttons, concealed air-conditioning vents, and wireless charging pads.

The 2025 Seal is equipped with BYD’s Disus-System, which enhances the suspension’s adaptability, stability, comfort, and handling. The four-wheel-drive version also benefits from this advanced damping control system. The vehicle’s dimensions remain the same as the current model: 4800 mm in length, 1875 mm in width, 1460 mm in height, and a 2920 mm wheelbase.

Regarding safety, the 2025 Seal now includes a LiDAR sensor, significantly improving its ADAS capabilities. It integrates with the L2+ level DiPilot 300 system, offering features such as high-speed and urban Navigation on Autopilot (NOA) and Automated Valet Parking (AVP). All models come standard with 13 airbags and a W-HUD head-up display.
