1. It has powerful performance, and its handling performance exceeds expectations.
2. Adopting a sports sedan-style exterior design, it boasts an extremely high aesthetic appeal.

1. It has a relatively low chassis, so it is mainly suitable for urban commuting.
2. The strong power output also results in a certain reduction in actual range; therefore, it is advisable to choose the high-range version as much as possible.

Basic Information

Competitor Comparison

1. Range Performance: The BYD Seal EV offers a relatively long range among electric vehicles in the same class, reaching up to 510 km, while its competitors only provide a range of over 400 km.
2. Space Size: The BYD Seal EV has a body length of 4.8 meters, giving it a certain space advantage—it is only 15 cm shorter than the Beijing EU7.
3. Power Performance: It delivers strong power performance, creating a significant gap with peer models. Its maximum power output can reach 170 kW, maximum torque is 380 N·m, and its top speed (up to 220 km/h) also far exceeds that of its competitors.
4. Battery Capability: It has a battery capacity of 61.44 kWh and an energy consumption of 13 kWh per 100 km. This is on par with models in the same class and comparable to its peers.
5. Operational Convenience: The Seal EV continues BYD's focus on comfort, featuring a panoramic sunroof, power windows, power-adjustable seats, reverse camera, and other functions. Additionally, it is equipped with a large 15.6-inch central control screen.

Positive Reviews

Powerful Performance

1. "The performance is absolutely impressive! The 0-100km/h acceleration only takes 5.9 seconds, and it’s not just a sudden burst of speed—it’s consistent!"
2. "The long-range single-motor version actually accelerates in just over 6 seconds, with a noticeable backseat feeling. The power is more than enough; compared to my previous Buick Excelle, the difference in performance is night and day."
3. "In terms of power, the 100km/h acceleration is 5.9 seconds, and actual tests put it at around 6.0 seconds. The backseat feeling is still very strong. At traffic lights, it even makes me want to "race" others when starting—especially when I see a Tesla, haha."

Excellent Handling

1. "The driving experience is top-tier: acceleration is super fast, braking is responsive, and it stays stable when cornering at high speeds. However, the chassis is really low. I asked the salesperson to give me a front motor guard, and then bought a battery guard myself—now I feel more at ease."
2. "The chassis is low, but it’s still enough for going down to underground parking lots, and no problem for city driving. When I first started driving it, I was worried about scratching the chassis, so I often turned on the 360-degree surround view camera to avoid scraping it. The driving feel is impeccable; the shock absorption is better than Tesla’s, and it’s probably on par with ZEEKR’s mechanical chassis. But I only test-drove the ZEEKR twice, so I’ll hold off on confirming this for now."
3. "The handling is as good as ever. The all-new e-Platform 3.0 EVO adopts many new technologies, such as the 12-in-1 electric drive system, which has advantages in integration and lightweight design. The chassis feels lighter and more agile to drive. Combined with the Yunxuan-C System and FSD Variable Damping Shock Absorbers, the chassis also has a better texture—it stays stable on low-frequency vibrations and filters out high-frequency bumps thoroughly."

Stylish Appearance

1. "It adopts the "Ocean Aesthetics" design concept of BYD’s Ocean Series, with smooth lines and a soft shape. The whole car sits low, giving it a supercar-like vibe. The shuttle-style headlights on top and ripple-shaped lights below look really cool. At the same time, the 4,800mm sports sedan-style body profile, paired with the upward-sloping side waistline, creates a distinct "diving" visual effect. It has a short body but a long wheelbase, with the front and rear tires set far apart; plus the hidden door handles, it looks like a sci-fi car from a movie. The wheels below use a semi-enclosed design, which can also effectively reduce the aerodynamic drag coefficient. The rear end is very recognizable—the through-type LED taillights let people tell it’s a BYD at a glance."
2. "I really love it; it’s completely different from BYD’s previous models. The rear diffuser trim is a bit exaggerated, but I’m very satisfied with everything else."

Negative Reviews

Significant Range Reduction in Actual Use

1. "The range is really poor in winter. When the temperature is around 20°C, the car’s power consumption is less than 12 kWh/100km, and I even use sport mode all the time. But when the temperature drops to around 0°C and I turn on the air conditioning, the power consumption jumps to 19 kWh/100km instantly."
2. "With a 700km range, I originally had no range anxiety. After using it for a month, it delivers about 90% of the rated range in the city (can drive 630km), but on the highway, it only delivers 70%-80% (at least 550km or more)."

Too Low Chassis

1. "The front lip of the chassis is too low, making it easy to get scratches or bumps—especially when parking. It’s only been more than ten days since I picked up the car, and I’ve already scraped it twice. I should be more careful in the future; just don’t drive up onto curbs, and it should be fine."
