In 2022, China’s largest manufacturer of electric cars introduced its second electric car, a mid-size sedan, the BYD Seal. Now a refreshed version of this model is coming to the market for the 2025 model year.

BYD improved the suspension, installed the latest generation of Disus-C adaptive shock absorbers for better stability, comfort and handling, improved safety. LiDAR is installed on the roof, which will improve semi-autonomous car driving systems, improved navigation and Autopilot, as well as automatic parking functions.

The interior has also undergone certain changes, such as a redesigned steering wheel, center console and dashboard, and there is a new glossy black panel that runs the entire width of the cabin.

The biggest change is the new 800-volt architecture instead of the previous 400-volt one. This shortened the charging time of the battery, which can now be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 25 minutes, instead of 37 minutes. The new Seal will be available with two batteries with a capacity of 61.44 and 80.64 kWh, and a range of 510 and 650 kilometers.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Seal will be powered by a single electric motor with 231 HP (172 kW) and RWD. More powerful variants with RWD will have 312 hp (230 kW). However, those looking for even better performance will be able to choose a model with two electric motors, 530 hp (390 kW) and AWD.
