Born to Perform

The BYD Seal combines top-tier electric vehicle performance with comfort and practicality. Featuring a dual-motor system that delivers all-wheel drive traction, it boasts a thrilling combined output of 529 PS and 670 Nm of torque, allowing for acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. With an 82.6 kWh Blade Battery pack, the Seal offers an impressive range of up to 580 km on a single charge, ensuring a dynamic driving experience over long distances.

This model is the first BYD electric vehicle in the Philippines to incorporate innovative Cell-to-Body Technology, making the Blade battery pack an integral part of the vehicle’s structure. This innovation enhances chassis stiffness and contributes to improved handling and responsiveness. With a balanced 50/50 weight distribution and a low center of gravity, the all-wheel drive BYD Seal provides superior control during high-performance driving.

Additionally, the BYD Seal introduces Intelligent Torque Adaptation Control (iTAC), revolutionizing traction control with rapid processing and intelligent torque allocation. This system enhances driving performance, overall handling, and safety by eliminating the lag typical of traditional traction control systems.

The latest flagship sedan is equipped with Frequency Selective Damping shock absorbers that improve ride quality by adjusting damping characteristics based on road conditions. With a double-wishbone front suspension and a five-link rear suspension configuration, the BYD Seal ensures smooth rides and exceptional handling. Large perforated and ventilated brake discs provide reliable stopping power even under demanding driving conditions.

As the fastest-charging model in the lineup, the BYD Seal features 150 kW DC charging capability, allowing the battery to charge from 30% to 80% in just 30 minutes. Its wide temperature range heat pump manages battery operating parameters, while a 12-Volt Lithium Iron Phosphate starter battery ensures long, exhilarating drives.

“The introduction of the BYD Seal represents a pivotal moment for BYD as we continue to advance electric mobility in the Philippines. This electric performance sedan is designed for drivers who crave speed, style, and comfort,” says Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines. “The BYD Seal is not just about aesthetics; it’s about pursuing passions and connecting with the road while enjoying the comforts of a modern sedan.”
