The BYD Seal is built on the e-Platform 3.0, BYD's new 800-volt car platform,[1] while the design was unveiled as the BYD Ocean-X Concept in September 2021.[3]

The Seal's top speed is limited to 180 km/h (110 mph),[4] and the 0–100 km/h acceleration is expected to be around 4 seconds.[2] There are three models of powertrains offered, with a 150 kW (200 hp) single-motor rear wheel drive, 230 kW (310 hp) single-motor rear wheel drive, and a 160kW + 230kW dual-motor all wheel drive option. The car has vehicle-to-grid capability.[2] The BYD Seal sedan claimed domestic driving range is between 550 and 700 km (340 and 430 mi).[5]
