BYD and Sime Darby Motors have officially launched the highly-anticipated BYD SEAL, the brand’s all-new electric sedan model.
The BYD SEAL is available in RWD Premium and Performance AWD variants, with prices starting from RM179,800 and RM199,800. Colour options include Arctic Blue (exclusive to the Performance variant), Cosmos Black, Atlantis Grey, and Aurora White (available for Premium). The first 800 bookings will enjoy complimentary wallbox chargers and free Gentari or ChargEV charging credits worth RM800.
The BYD SEAL is the first model equipped with the innovative CTB (cell-to-body) technology, seamlessly integrating the Blade Battery into the vehicle’s structure, ensuring stability and safety under diverse conditions.
The latest model, inspired by the “X” concept, combines style and performance with its aerodynamic, coupe-like design, boosting both appeal and efficiency. Distinctive features such as the wave waistline, waterdrop mirrors, panoramic glass roof, and LED tail light reflect natural elegance, mirroring waves and mountains.
The BYD SEAL, with its spacious interior offering 400-litres of boot space and an additional 50L under the bonnet, presents a bold stance at 4,800mm long and 1,875mm wide. The Thaumas Black interior, along with the crystal gearshift, further add a touch of luxury, making it a true embodiment of Ocean Aesthetics.
Inside, there is a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen that sits at the heart of its cabin, offering drivers an intuitive interface for navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings. This is complemented by the BYD intelligent cockpit system, which integrates seamlessly with the BYD App, allowing for enhanced connectivity and control.
With voice command functionality, drivers can effortlessly interact with the vehicle’s system, enhancing the ease of driving. The inclusion of a premium HIFI Dynaudio sound system ensures an immersive auditory experience, while the advanced PM2.5 filtration system promises a clean and healthy in-cabin atmosphere, safeguarding the health and well-being of its occupants.
The combination of Blade Battery technology and CTB construction not only enhances the vehicle’s stability but also improves its safety profile. The BYD SEAL’s battery sandwich structure, optimised force transmission path, and IP67-rated battery demonstrate a commitment to building a robust and reliable EV. With its enhanced torsional rigidity and passive safety features, including nine airbags, along with active safety measures like the ADAS and a high-resolution 360 camera system, the BYD SEAL is engineered to provide peace of mind on every journey.
The Premium and Performance AWD variant elevates the driving experience with eye-catching 19-inch alloy wheels boasting 235/45 R19 specifications.
The iTAC intelligent torque adaptation control system ensures optimal performance in varying driving conditions, while the 50:50 front and rear axle load distribution ensures a more balanced and responsive driving experience.
Boasting an ultra-low wind resistance of 0.219Cd, the BYD SEAL delivers an exceptional NEDC driving range up to 650KM, ensuring long journeys with minimal stops for recharging. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds is a testament to its potent powertrain, while its fast-charging capability of up to 150kW ensures that drivers can quickly recharge and get back on the road.
The BYD SEAL also comes with an extensive warranty package. This package includes a 6-year or 150,000km vehicle warranty, an 8-year or 160,000km battery warranty, and an equally robust 8-year or 150,000km drive unit warranty.
