On August 3, Zhang Zhuo, general manager of the BYD Ocean Series Sales Division, shared the interior images of the 2025 BYD Seal. The new car is expected to officially launch on August 8.
Previously, the official images of the 2025 BYD Seal in “Sky Purple” have been released, which is not much different from the current model. For reference, the length, width, and height of the BYD Seal currently on sale are 4800/1875/1460 mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2920 mm; the price range is 179,800 – 249,800 yuan (25,100 – 35,000 USD). The CLTC ranges of the current BYD Seal Glory Edition rear-wheel drive is 550 km and 700 km, and the four-wheel drive is 650 km. At this time, the powertrain specifications have not been revealed officially.
The 2025 BYD Seal is built on the BYD e-Platform 3.0 Evo with an 800V high-voltage architecture. For the exterior, the logo above the taillights has been changed from “Build Your Dream” to the luminous “BYD”. The front still features a closed front face and slender headlights. There is also an optional roof lidar and rear camera.
The overall interior adopts the latest BYD Ocean series style and offers a standard five-seater layout. The seats are printed with a wave pattern, resembling the name of the Ocean series.
The new Coral Orange color scheme is highly recognizable with hidden air-conditioning outlets, a D-shaped steering wheel, a floating central control screen, an instrument panel, and a simple center console equipped with wireless charging panels, cup holders, and multiple physical buttons. The dimension parameters have not been revealed at this time.
BYD sold a total of 342,383 vehicles in July, including 340,799 passenger vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 30.5%. For the first seven months of 2024, BYD’s cumulative sales of passenger cars were 1,947,944 vehicles. Additionally, BYD has sold more than 8.3 million new energy vehicles so far and is expected to roll off its 9-millionth new energy vehicle off the production line in early October this year.
In particular, the BYD Ocean series sold 152,767 vehicles in July, including 36,256 Seagull (see spec here), 33,595 Seal (see spec here), 12,399 Dolphin (see spec here), and 7,007 Sea Lion 07 EV.
To me the new interior looks dull and conventional, the current interior has a spark that makes it more than a car. First the steering wheel should remain 3 spoke.
I agree. Thoughit does looks cleaner with this updated version but what’s up with the big slab of piano black trim across the dashboard really. I would rather leave it as the same as current one with more design character.
Yeah the big slab of piano to be fair has illumination like in the tang and han. But i would expect that on a car that’s tuned for comfort and luxury. Seal has that sporty angle, which means the current bold interior fits with the image
