BYD unveils second-generation Seal 07 with a range of up to 775 km
BYD has launched the second generation of the Seal 07 in China, offering EV and PHEV versions. The electric vehicle achieves up to 775 km of range under the CLTC standard, and its battery charges from 10% to 70% in five minutes.
The model is available in five variants: two plug-in hybrids and three all-electric versions. The starting price for the PHEV is 139,900 yuan, while the fully electric version starts at 149,900 yuan.
The Seal 07 EV is equipped with BYD’s second-generation Blade battery, with a capacity of 76.7 kWh. A single electric motor on the rear axle delivers up to 328 hp (245 kW) and 365 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. The range reaches 775 km under the CLTC cycle.
The PHEV versions feature the DM-i system with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine producing 154 hp (115 kW) and a front electric motor with 214 hp (160 kW). The 37 kWh battery provides up to 330 km of electric-only range under CLTC, an improvement from the previous generation’s 230 km.
The Flash Charging technology enables the battery to charge from 10% to 97% in nine minutes. Both versions measure 5,080 mm in length, 1,960 mm in width, 1,495 mm in height, and have a wheelbase of 2,960 mm—slightly larger than the Toyota Camry.
The interior includes a 15.6-inch central screen, a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, and two rear passenger displays. Optional features include a built-in 6.8-liter refrigerator, seats with a "zero-gravity" mode, and audio embedded in the driver’s headrest. According to BYD, the Seal 07 offers the most spacious rear row in its class and the largest front trunk, with a volume of 160 liters.
The model also introduces the Smart Ecosystem 2.0, featuring Diva smartwatches for remote vehicle control. Higher-end versions include the God’s Eye B intelligent driving system, with an optional roof-mounted lidar. Its functions include city and highway navigation on autopilot, as well as intelligent parking.
During the promotional period, the PHEV starts at 135,900 yuan, and the EV at 145,900 yuan.
