The BYD Seal 08 is an upcoming all-electric sedan positioned as a more affordable, efficient alternative in BYD’s EV lineup. It uses BYD’s Blade LFP battery technology and offers multiple configurations with single electric motors — including a base ~110 kW (~148 hp) version and a stronger ~160 kW (~215 hp) option — both tuned for urban efficiency and highway cruising.
On the CLTC cycle, the Seal 08 can achieve 470 km in its smaller battery form and 545 km with the larger battery. WLTP (more realistic global cycle) estimates are expected to be slightly lower but still competitive, providing around 380–450 km of range depending on configuration and driving conditions.
