BYD Seal to arrive in Singapore come 29 September 2023

Vantage Automotive, authorised distributor for BYD passenger vehicles in Singapore has announced that the Seal is set to launch come 29 September 2023.

The all-electric sedan will be available in Singapore in three different variants. The first, 'Standard Range Dynamic', will offer efficiency and versatility, while the second, 'Extended Range Premium', will offer an extended driving range without compromising performance. The car will also come in an 'AWD Performance' trim, which is states, is designed to exhilarate. 

The BYD Seal measures a total of 4,800mm long, just 85mm shorter than the Toyota Camry

In other markets, the BYD Seal is offered as either a single-motor version with rear-wheel drive that delivers a total power output of 308bhp and a WLTP range of 570km, or as a four-wheel drive variant that comes with a total output of 523bhp that will see it hitting 100km/h from a standstill in just 3.8 seconds.

The car also comes with an 82.5kWh battery that can be charged at a maximum of 150kWh, allowing the car to climb from 30% to 80% state-of-charge in just 26 minutes. This, of course, is BYD's Blade Battery, which was developed in-house and utilises lithium iron phosphate as a cathode material, which BYD states offers a higher level of safety and durability compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries.

The BYD Seal is sold with a 15.6-inch rotating screen that comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity

The car also comes with a centrally mounted 15.6-inch rotating screen, which supports intelligent voice control and seamless smartphone integration via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

BYD further states that the Seal will be available with four exterior colour options that mirror the marine theme: Aurora White, Cosmos Black, Atlantis Grey, and Arctic Blue. According to this post made on the BYD Singapore Facebook page, those that pre-order their BYD Seal will be invited to head down to the car's launch event come 29 September 2023 at the Changi Exhibition Centre and can even score a test ride in the car with a professional driver at the wheel.

More information on the specifications of the Seal sold here in Singapore will be revealed closer to the launch date.
