Specs and prices are yet to be confirmed, as the car on display is a China-spec left-hand drive (LHD) unit.
In China, there are four variants offered:
The AWD Performance variant is claimed to go from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. Battery capacity is 61.44 kWh in the Standard Range variants while Long Range versions get an 82.56 kWh battery.
The Seal is also the first BYD model to use the cell-to-body (CTB) structural battery system. As mentioned on the tin, the battery becomes a structural element of the entire vehicle instead of being combined with modules.
