BYD Auto Bets on the Brazilian Market with the Launch of the Seal, an Electric Sedan with Much to Offer. Is It Worth the Investment?
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to drive the best electric car ever launched by BYD Auto? Well, the answer may lie in the new BYD Seal, an electric vehicle with cutting-edge technology and impressive design, which has just been launched in Brazil. Let’s take a look at this beast!
What Makes the BYD Seal Special?
To start, the BYD Seal is a vehicle developed with BYD’s latest electric platform, the e-Platform 3.0, which already supports other models from the brand, such as the Dolphin and the Yuan Plus. With robust dimensions and an innovative concept called CTB (Cell To Body), this electric sedan promises to be noteworthy.
The highlight is the integration of the battery into the vehicle’s structure, improving torsional rigidity and enhancing aerodynamics. The word of the moment is efficiency, with a drag coefficient of only 0.219.

Chevrolet Onix leads the efficiency ranking among flex-fuel cars by Inmetro, achieves almost 18 km/l, and costs less than R$ 100,000.
-
Non-alcoholic beer is not always 0.0%: the drink can appear on the breathalyzer, result in a fine of R$ 2,934.70, suspend the driver’s license for 12 months, and even lead the vehicle to be impounded.
-
A burned Ferrari seemed destined for scrap, until a company removed the V8 engine, installed three electric motors, and transformed the old sports car into the 308 GTE with a 47 kWh battery.
-
Smaller than a Kwid and priced at around R$ 60,000, the Mitsubishi eK Cross EV features a 1,500 W outlet, 180 km range, and becomes a sort of power bank on wheels in Japan.
Technology and Design
The visual aspect of the Seal is also stunning. With a fluid design and a well-equipped package, the vehicle strikes a perfect balance between form and function. It comes with several driving assistants and a premium interior, featuring synthetic leather finishes and a soft-touch dashboard.
Driving Experience
The sensation is that of being in an electric vehicle that holds its own against premium combustion models. The driving position, seat comfort, and sensitive controls make for a very pleasant experience. It is nimble, and the silence onboard is almost surreal.
Cost
While the car is equipped with a range of safety assistants, the operation of these systems can be somewhat intrusive. However, BYD has indicated that this will be adjusted in future models.
Available for R$ 296,800, the BYD Seal stands out as a competitive option, especially for those considering making the leap to electric mobility.
