BYD Seal Range
₹41.50 Lakh to ₹53.65 Lakhex-showroom
BYD rates the Seal on the European NEDC cycle: 510 km for the Dynamic Range, 650 km for the Premium Range and 580 km for the Performance AWD. No ARAI figure has been published.
The Performance AWD shares the Premium Range's 82.56 kWh battery but is rated 70 km lower. BYD adds that real range depends on driving style, speed, outside temperature and load.
On a DC fast charger, BYD quotes 0 to 80 percent in 45 minutes, at up to 110 kW on the Dynamic Range and 150 kW on the others. It also says 15 minutes can add up to 200 km. A 7 kW AC charger takes 12 to 16 hours from empty to full. The Seal specification sheet has every charging detail.
