BYD, the world’s top maker of new energy vehicles, has officially launched the 2025 version of its well-liked Seal electric sedan in India. Since it first came to the Indian market in March 2024, the BYD Seal has gotten a lot of attention for its mix of modern tech, fancy features, and good performance. The 2025 model year update makes its place even stronger as a good choice in the high-end electric vehicle group, with prices starting at ₹41 lakh (showroom price).
The 2025 BYD Seal comes with many improvements that focus on making the driving better, the inside more comfy, the smart connections easier to use, and the overall tech better. While the price for the basic Dynamic version stays the same at ₹41 lakh, the middle Premium and top Performance versions now cost a little more, ₹15,000 extra, priced at ₹45.70 lakh and ₹53.15 lakh (showroom price) respectively.
Main Changes in the 2025 BYD Seal:
- Better Driving: The Premium version now has special shock absorbers, while the Performance version introduces BYD’s smart suspension system. This advanced system changes the shock absorbers in real-time based on the road and how you drive, promising smoother rides and better control.
- Better Inside Feel: All versions of the 2025 Seal now have a power-operated sunshade and a new silver-colored dimming cover for the glass roof, making the inside feel more luxurious. The air-conditioning system has also been improved with a bigger pump and a new air cleaner for better temperature control and air quality.
- Easy Connections: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard on all 2025 BYD Seal models, offering easier and simpler phone use.
- Better Battery Tech: The new model year uses a new type of battery that BYD says is much lighter, loses power slower when not used, and lasts longer than normal batteries.
