The Plug-In Hybrid Version of the BYD Seal Is Set to Launch in China This August, with an Initial Price of Approximately R$ 120,000 in Direct Conversion.

BYD Seal, a model already familiar to Brazilians in its fully electric version, is preparing to expand its horizons with an unprecedented plug-in hybrid version. The debut of this new variant will be in China, where it promises to impress with an exceptional electric range of up to 200km on a single charge.

The new plug-in hybrid version, named BYD Seal DM-i PHEV, is scheduled to launch in China this August, with an initial price of 180,000 yuan, which in direct conversion is approximately R$ 120,000, according to the latest information collected by Chinese media. Simultaneously, the start of production of the series-hybrid BYD Seal is already in full swing at the BYD factory located in Zhengzhou.

Those who have had first contact with the Seal DM-i emphasize that it is not based on the BYD Han DM-i. Instead, it introduces a new front-wheel-drive chassis. Additionally, it features an independent multilink suspension at the rear axle.

Motorization and Range of the BYD Seal Hybrid

Although full details and specifications have yet to be released, we know that the hybrid Seal will feature two options of BYD DM-i motorization. The versions will include the 1.5L and the 1.5T, both offering two battery options for an electric range of 121km or 200km, respectively, according to the NEDC cycle.

Pre-sales in China are expected to begin in the coming days, when all details, prices, and other specifications will be revealed. And, despite expectations, the question remains: will the BYD Seal plug-in hybrid also be launched in international markets, like the Seal EV, here in Brazil? We will be keeping an eye out to inform you.

BYD Seal in Its Fully Electric Version Has a Range of About 530 km

After impressing the electric vehicle market with the launch of the Dolphin, BYD once again captures the spotlight with the announcement of its upcoming launch for Brazil, the electric sedan Seal. Expected to arrive in the coming months, the Seal has the potential to rank among the models with the highest range available in the country.

Detailed information is still limited. BYD has not officially confirmed the price but stated that the Seal will be positioned between the Yuan Plus SUV and the Han sedan. This suggests a price higher than R$ 280,000 but lower than R$ 540,000. Considering these guidelines, a reasonable estimate puts the price around R$ 350,000.

The specific range of the BYD Seal according to Inmetro standards remains a mystery. However, it is known that according to the Chinese cycle, the vehicle has an impressive range of 531 km. It is worth remembering that the Chinese measurement methodology tends to be more optimistic compared to the Brazilian one.
