The 2026 BYD Seal is a battery-electric sedan with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The Premium RWD is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Premium RWD version develops 313 hp and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 5.9 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 180 km/h (112 mph). Its power output is about 37% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 26% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 82.5 kWh. The recorded electric range is 570 km (354 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.5 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 150 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,800 mm (189.0 in) in length, 1,875 mm (73.8 in) in width, and 1,460 mm (57.5 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,920 mm (115.0 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 400 litres (14.1 cu ft). The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,980 kg (4,365 lb). That cargo volume is about 15% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric sedan models from the same period, the 2026 BYD Seal is strongest on price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
