BYD has launched the Seal electric sedan in India with prices ranging between Rs 41 lakh-53 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The Seal comes to India as a full import, but BYD has made the entire range available here. It comes in three trims – Dynamic, Premium and Performance – with two battery pack options and in both RWD and AWD guise. Let’s take a closer look at the variant-wise break up.

BYD Biggest Draw Back is GROUND CLEARENCE mentioned as UNLADEN 145MM ????,So With 4 persons seating Ground clearence will drop down further to 135 mm ,Thats AUDIR8 sports car equavalent. WATCH OUT GUYS BEFORE BUYING IT ( Pricing is very competitive May be due to Lithium ion battery prices dropped down to All time low of -30% )

Nice of BYD to offer the Dynamic variant, 95% of the intended audience can live with just that and performance enthusiasts can simply choose the AWD variant. No other car like it in the Indian market till Tesla arrives here.

This is like the best ev offered in India. Tata, MG, Hyundai are charging huge premium to avoid passing urltra low 5 percent GST and no road tax benefits instead of 30 to 40 percent GST and 10 to 20 percent road on ICE cars.
