BYD will launch the second-generation Seal 07 on Nov. 5. Zhang Zhuo, general manager of sales for BYD's Ocean lineup, said on Weibo that display cars had arrived at showrooms in 131 Chinese cities, CnEVPost reports. Reservations for the EV opened on Oct. 26, with no price announced.

Size

The sedan is 5,080 mm long, 1,960 mm wide and 1,495 mm tall, on a 2,960 mm wheelbase. That is 85 mm longer and 50 mm wider than the outgoing model, with a 60 mm longer wheelbase. CarNewsChina lists a 618-litre trunk, plus a 160-litre front trunk on the EV.

Powertrains

  • EV: rear-wheel drive on e-Platform 3.0 Evo, with 245 kW (329 hp) or 300 kW (402 hp). LFP Blade batteries of 76.744 kWh and 88.682 kWh give a claimed 775 km and 875 km under China's CLTC test (about 636 km and 718 km WLTP, by CarNewsChina's estimate).
  • DM-i plug-in hybrid: a 1.5-litre turbo engine (115 kW) with a 160 kW motor and a 38.029 kWh battery, for 245 km of electric range under WLTC.

BYD says the second-generation Blade Battery supports flash charging. It also lists DiSus-M magnetorheological body control.

Pricing

CarNewsChina says dealer billing notices list a preliminary allocation price of 180,000 yuan ($25,250), which is not the final retail price. The current Seal 07 EV costs 169,900 to 189,900 yuan. CnEVPost says Seal lineup sales fell 14.11% in the first nine months of 2026.
