At the top of the lineup is the AWD Performance variant, available at THB 1,599,000 (around RM 204k). It features the same 82.5 kWh battery but with dual motors for all-wheel-drive capability, delivering an output of 530 PS/670 Nm and a range of up to 580 km.

Charging capabilities are 7 kW AC across all variants, while DC charging is rated at 110 kW for the Dynamic RWD variant and 150 kW for the Premium RWD and AWD Performance variants. Vehicle to Load (V2L) function is supported with up to 2.2 kW.

Wheels are 18-inch items in the Dynamic RWD variant, wrapped with 225/50 profile tyres, while upper rung variants wear 19-inch wheels with 235/45 rubbers.

Standard features across all variants include a 15.6-inch rotating touch screen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and ventilated front seats with powered adjustment.

Safety wise, there’s a 360-degree view camera, and a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). These include Predictive Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition, Adaptive Cruise Control, and others.

Closer to home, BYD SD Motors previewed the BYD Seal in December 2022 during the launch of the Atto 3 and announced the target for a Q4 2023 launch.
