The Seal family initially started as an electric sedan but has since expanded to include multiple sedan models. The current lineup includes the hybrid Seal 05 DM-i, hybrid Seal 06 DM-i, hybrid Seal 07 DM-i, all-electric Seal 06 GT, and the all-electric Seal sedan. These models have starting price ranges from RMB 79,800 to RMB 239,800.
In April, BYD reported impressive sales figures, with a total of 380,089 new energy vehicles (NEVs) sold, marking a year-on-year increase of 21.34 percent and a month-on-month increase of 0.71 percent.
