The BYD Seal is a fastback electric sedan that brings BYD's "Ocean Aesthetics" design language to India, featuring a low-slung silhouette, flush electronic door handles, and waterdrop-shaped side mirrors. Built on BYD's e-Platform 3.0, it incorporates the brand's proprietary Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology, which integrates the Blade Battery pack into the vehicle's structural floor for improved rigidity and a lower centre of gravity.
In India, the Seal is offered in three variants — Dynamic Range, Premium Range, and Performance — with claimed driving ranges of 510 km to 650 km (WLTP-equivalent, as stated by BYD India). Battery capacities span 61.44 kWh to 82.56 kWh, and power outputs range from approximately 201 bhp in the base variant to a claimed 523 bhp in the dual-motor Performance trim. The top-spec variant is said to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in around 3.8 seconds (claimed).
Equipment levels are generous for the segment, including a rotating 15.6-inch infotainment display, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, ADAS suite, 360-degree camera, heads-up display, active noise cancellation, and 9 airbags. The BYD Seal has earned a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, lending credibility to its safety credentials in the Indian market.
