The story
The BYD Seal 06 EV (Chinese: 比亚迪海豹06EV; pinyin: Bǐyǎdí Hǎibào 06 EV) is a battery electric mid-size sedan produced by BYD Auto. A sister model of the Dynasty Series BYD Qin L EV, the model is built on the e-Platform 3.0 Evo electric vehicle platform with a rear-wheel-drive layout. It is part of the Seal family under the Ocean Series product line-up.
What is underneath
110–160 kW is the published figure. It weighs 1670–1800 kg. Work it out per tonne and you get about 66 horsepower — unhurried — enough for the job, not for the bragging. The wheelbase is 2820 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Toyota bZ3X, the Nissan N7, the Kia PV5 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Byd catalogue sit the BYD 8TT and the BYD Atto 2.
