    The BYD Seal electric sedan will be offered with three powertrain options, launch slated for March 5

    Update (05/03/24): BYD has launched the Seal EV in India, with prices starting from Rs 41 lakh (ex-showroom pan-India).

    BYD Seal expected prices

    We got our first look at the BYD Seal electric sedan at the Auto Expo 2023. Now, after a little more than a year, the EV is slated to go on sale in India on March 5. Its bookings are already open since February 27 for Rs 1 lakh both online and at BYD’s dealerships. We already know the different variants and powertrains that will be on offer, including the variant-wise features.

    If you are planning to buy the BYD EV, take a look at its expected prices here based on the information we have so far:

    Disclaimer: These prices are estimates and may vary from the official ones that will be revealed on March 5.

    BYD India will offer the Seal EV with a choice of three electric powertrains as mentioned below:

    Both the entry-level and mid-spec Dynamic Range and Premium Range variants will be offered with a single motor, rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup. On the other hand, the range-topping Performance variant will get a dual motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) option.

    The BYD Seal has a rotating 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic glass roof, two wireless phone chargers, and an 8-way power adjustable driver seat with memory function.

    Its safety net includes many airbags, a 360-degree camera, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and a full suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and auto emergency braking.

    Rivals And Their Prices

    BYD Seal (Expected)

    Hyundai Ioniq 5

    Volvo XC40 Recharge

    Kia EV6

    Rs 55 lakh to Rs 65 lakh

    Rs 45.95 lakh

    Rs 57.90 lakh

    Rs 60.95 lakh to Rs 65.95 lakh

    The reason why the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Volvo XC40 Recharge have an aggressive pricing is because they are locally assembled in India. On the other hand, the BYD Seal, like the Kia EV6, will be sold here as a full-built import. It will still comfortably undercut the current premium electric sedan in India -- the BMW i4 -- which is priced above Rs 70 lakh.
