What is the BYD Seal?
The Seal is a fully electric sedan in BYD’s Ocean series. Its low, streamlined shape gives it a different profile from the brand’s SUVs, while its four-door layout suits everyday use. The design follows BYD’s Ocean-inspired style, and the car uses e-Platform 3.0 with Cell-to-Body battery integration. The first generation, code 3H, is listed in Europe from 2023 to today.
