The BYD Seal, the cheapest electric sedan on the market, will arrive in Brazil soon and promises to rival major names like Civic, Corolla Hybrid, and even Tesla Model 3.

The competition among manufacturers from China will become even more intense soon, with the arrival of the BYD Seal in the market. The company will officially reveal the affordable electric sedan later this month during the Interlagos Festival in São Paulo. The electric car from the Chinese manufacturer will join the Dolphin, which continues to compete in the ranking of the cheapest battery-powered car in Brazil.

New Affordable Electric Sedan from BYD Delivers 523 Horsepower

The BYD Seal is developed on the same platform as the Dolphin. Its dimensions are 4.80 meters in length, 1.46 meters in height, 1.87 meters in width, and a wheelbase of 2.92 meters. The version selected for the Brazilian market comes equipped with two electric motors, one on each axle.

Together, the motors deliver a combined power of 523 horsepower and a torque of 68.3 kgfm. The BYD Seal features an 82.5 kWh battery that enables acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds.

New Electric Sedan from BYD Expected to Cost R$ 260 Thousand

The Chinese manufacturer plans to launch the BYD Seal with a more aggressive price in Brazil. The expectation is that the model will arrive as the cheapest electric car in its category, costing around R$ 260 thousand.

The electric car will represent the brand in the mid-sized sedan segment, directly competing with heavy rivals like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, both of which have electrified versions in the country. Initially, the manufacturer entered the Brazilian market with more expensive premium segment vehicles.

Gradually, the brand has expanded its offerings, now including more affordable vehicles. The Dolphin, for instance, is sold by the company for only R$ 149,800.

The idea behind presenting the affordable electric sedan is to maintain the prominence of the more budget-friendly sector, as GWM prepares to launch the GWM Ora, which will also be showcased at the Interlagos Festival.

BYD Confirms Its Complete Lineup at the Festival

Inside the new electric car from BYD, there is plenty of luxury and comfort for those on board. High-quality delivery at a lower cost is guaranteed. It’s good, but not as good as the BYD Han, which is of course more expensive. However, the Seal features a rotating screen, which is the manufacturer’s trademark, screens in the second row of seats, a multimedia steering wheel, digital cluster, among other amenities.

The electric sedan does not exaggerate in lines and curves, boasting a well-constructed visual. Flush door handles, sharp headlights, and integrated taillights offer a touch of modernity with sophistication.

For this edition of the Festival, the manufacturer confirmed the presence of its complete lineup, including the Dolphin, Song Plus, Yuan Plus, Tan, and Han. With the exception of the Song Plus, the rest of BYD’s models are fully electric. It’s worth noting that the Chinese manufacturer already has production plans in Brazil and will bring the BYD Seagull, its cheapest vehicle.
