Combining sleek looks, a potent dual-motor powertrain, and a high-tech & comfortable cabin, the Seal serves as the brand's high-performance flagship and is poised to take a chunk of the midsize sedan market without a drop of fuel.

Starting with its all-electric powertrain, the 2025 Seal comes with a a pair of electric motors (each one placed on the axle) that delivers a whopping 530 PS on tap along with a healthy 670 Nm of torque. This gives the sedan instantaneous acceleration and a claimed 0 - 100 km/h sprint of 3.8 km/h. Top speed, meanwhile, is rated at 180 km/h.

The system is then paired with an 82.5 kWh BYD Blade battery which gives it a maximum range of up to 580 km on a full charge. The 2025 Seal can be recharged via AC (up to 11 kW) as well as DC charging as the 800V system can handle up to 150 kW of charge. On an 11 kW AC charging station, BYD says it can be fully recharged in 9 hours. On the other hand, a 150 kW DC charging station can recharge the Seal from 10% to 80% in 38 minutes.

The Seal also benefits from a vehicle-to-load (V2L) system that can power up devices and has an output of up to 3.3 kW via AC.

It has a pair of eye-catching LED headlights that are complemented by faux intakes on the front bumper and the signature LED daytime running lights. The fastback-like shape not only gives the Seal a more aerodynamic shape but also lends to its sporty appearance.

Other key exterior features are the full-width LED taillights, stylish 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 235/45 Continental tires, a panoramic glass roof, and a rear diffuser on the back bumper.
