The autonomy estimated by Chinese automaker is 650 km, a number that will certainly change according to the new measurement standards in Brazil.
At the rear, the horizontal taillights that extend to the trunk lid stand out. Inside, there are two screens, these being the 10,25-inch instrument panel and the multimedia center that has a larger 15,6-inch screen.
new electric sedan cheap BYD should cost BRL 260 thousand
The Chinese automaker's plan is to launch the BYD Seal at a more aggressive price in Brazil. The expectation is that the model arrives as the cheapest electric car on the market in its category, costing around R$ 260 thousand.
The electric car will be the brand's representative in the area of medium sedans, competing directly with weight rivals like Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, both with electrified versions in the country. At first, the automaker reached the Brazilian market with more expensive vehicles in the premium segment.
Gradually, the brand expanded its operations, now with more accessible vehicles. The Dolphin, for example, is marketed by the company for just R$149.800.
The idea of presenting electric sedan cheap is to keep the notoriety of the socket sector more in account, as GWM prepares the launch of GWM Ora, which will also be presented at the Interlagos Festival.
BYD confirms its full lineup at the festival
Inside BYD's new electric car, there's a lot of luxury and comfort for those on board. Guaranteed high standard delivery costing less. It's good, but not as good as BYD Han, which is more expensive, of course. However, Seal has a rotating screen, which is the automaker's trademark, screens in the second row of seats, multimedia steering wheel, digital cluster, among other amenities.
The electric sedan does not exaggerate the lines and curves, with a well-built look. Recessed door handles, tapered headlights and integrated taillights offer a refined modern look.
For this edition of the Festival, the automaker confirmed the presence of its complete line, namely Dolphin, Song Plus, Yuan Plus, Tan and Han. With the exception of the Song Plus, the rest of BYD's models are all-electric. It is also worth mentioning that the Chinese already has production plans in Brazil and will bring the BYD Seagull, its cheapest vehicle.
