Strip the BYD Seal back to its specification sheet and the character is already there: synchronous motor, 150–390 kW. Byd built from 2022, in the decade the industry is turning electric. The shape is credited to Under the lead of Wolfgang Egger.
The background
The BYD Seal (Chinese: 比亚迪海豹; pinyin: Bǐyàdí Hǎibào) is a battery electric mid-size sedan produced by BYD Auto.
It is the second car of BYD's "Ocean Series" after the smaller BYD Dolphin hatchback, and is built on BYD's e-Platform 3.0 and an 800-volt electrical platform. BYD also markets other models using the Seal nameplate, such as the Seal 08 electric and plug-in hybrid full-size sedan, Seal 07 electric and plug-in hybrid sedans, Seal 06 DM-i and Seal 05 DM-i plug-in hybrid sedans, Seal 06 EV electric sedan, Seal 06 GT electric hatchback and the Seal U SUV.
The engineering
The engine is synchronous motor; the output is 150–390 kW. On the scales it comes to 1885–2185 kg. That is roughly 80 horsepower per tonne: unhurried — enough for the job, not for the bragging. The wheelbase is 2920 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
In the Byd line-up the BYD Seal has a clear place: it handed the line to the BYD Seal 07 EV (China); the factory was Changzhou, Jiangsu. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Kia EV6, the Great Wall Motor Ora Lightning Cat, the JAC Group Sehol X6. Its Byd stablemates include the BYD 8TT and the BYD Atto 2.
