BYD Seal 07, second generation (China)

BYD launched the larger second-generation Seal 07 in China on Nov 5 from 139,900 yuan, cheaper than before, with up to 775 km of EV range.

Auto Home reported the Nov 5 date on Oct 30 citing BYD, and BYD's Ocean sales chief said display cars had reached showrooms in 131 Chinese cities. The new car is 5,080 mm long with a 2,960 mm wheelbase, 85 mm longer than the Seal 07 EV that launched in March. Regulatory filings list 245 kW and 300 kW motors for the EV; BYD has previewed its second-generation Blade Battery, flash charging and roof LiDAR. The DM-i pairs a 1.5-liter turbo with a 160 kW motor and a 38 kWh pack (245 km WLTC electric range). Reservations opened Oct 26 without prices; the outgoing Seal 07 EV started at 169,900 yuan. Launch, Nov 5: five versions at 139,900-172,900 yuan (two DM-i plug-in hybrids at 139,900 and 149,900; three EVs at 149,900, 159,900 and 172,900), with 4,000 yuan off for eligible trade-ins. The EV starts 20,000 yuan below the March Seal 07 EV and uses a 245 kW motor and a 76 kWh second-gen Blade Battery (up to 775 km CLTC, 10-70% in 5 minutes on flash chargers); the DM-i gets up to 330 km of electric range. It is the first BYD-brand car with the Yunnian-M magnetorheological body control system, and roof LiDAR comes with God's Eye B.
