Motor.TV The all-electric #BYD Seal has made its European debut at the ongoing Munich Motor Show #iaamobility2023 before it arrives in local markets before the end of the year.
The Seal is a very important vehicle for the Chinese car manufacturer, particularly if it wants to replicate the success it is having in China across a host of overseas markets. It shares the same e-Platform 3.0 as the BYD Atto 3 and Dolphin that we’re already familiar with but unlike those two, it is the first BYD model to use the brand’s Cell-to-Body technology. This means that the battery is incorporated within the vehicle structure, improving safety.
Speaking of the battery, it is BYD’s advanced Blade battery that uses lithium-iron phosphate as a cathode material and is 100% free of cobalt. European-delivered models have an 82.5 kWh battery pack at launch but a smaller 61 kWh pack is also on the cards.
Sitting at the base of the Seal range in Europe is the Design version, equipped with a single electric motor at the rear wheels producing 230 kW (308 hp), allowing the car to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.9 seconds. This model also has a solid 570 km (354 miles) of range on the WLTP cycle. Sitting at the top of the range is the Seal Excellent-AWD with two electric motors delivering a combined 390 kW (523 hp). This version needs just 3.8 seconds to hit 100 km/h and can travel 520 km (323 miles) on a charge. Both variants are fitted with an 11 kW 3-phase onboard AC charger as standard and support 150 kW DC fast charging, meaning the battery can be charged from 30% to 80% in 26 minutes.
The European version of the BYD Song Plus Champion Edition already unveiled in China has been launched at the Munich Motor Show. It is dubbed the BYD Seal U and has a design very similar to the Seal sedan, albeit in SUV form.
Like the Seal sedan, the BYD Seal U is underpinned by the car manufacturer’s e-Platform 3.0 but unlike its sibling, the Seal U is being offered in plug-in hybrid and battery-electric guises. While technical specifications of the models heading to Europe have not yet been announced, we do know some of the key details.
In China, the electric versions of the Seal U are offered with 71 kWh and 87 kWh battery packs. Two variants of the EV are tipped to launch in Europe, dubbed the Comfort and the Design. Both models rely on a single electric motor that delivers 204 hp in the Comfort and 218 hp in the Design. Those figures aren’t particularly impressive but it is possible that a more powerful version will be available at a later date.
