This page is an independent, unofficial guide to the BYD SEAL — a pure electric (BEV) premium sedan sold in Australia. It covers positioning, trim variants, powertrain and performance figures, battery and charging capability, dimensions, safety equipment, and warranty coverage. All information is drawn from the official BYD Australia brochure (BYD-SEAL-2026.pdf, Version 260625) and the official model page; trim names, specifications and prices reflect a compiled dataset from October 2026, and BYD Automotive Australia may update variants at any time. Every figure should be confirmed with an authorised BYD dealer or via the official BYD Australia website before purchase or servicing decisions are made.
Prices for the SEAL are not published on the official BYD Australia model page or in the brochure. Two variants are available — Premium and Performance — and prospective buyers should consult an authorised BYD dealer for current driveaway pricing in their state or territory.

Price range in Australia
BYD Automotive Australia does not publish prices on its own model page. The independent automotive site Drive lists the manufacturer’s recommended list price (MRLP) for the BYD SEAL, excluding on-road costs, as shown below (listing checked on 4 October 2026).
| Model | MRLP range, excluding on-road costs | Variants listed |
|---|---|---|
| BYD SEAL | $46,990 to $61,990 | 3 |
On-road costs such as registration, stamp duty and dealer delivery are not included, so the driveaway price will be higher and differs by state and territory. Drive shows the range across the variants and does not tie each price to a variant, so ask an authorised BYD dealer for the exact price of the variant and options you want. Prices change and are subject to manufacturer specifications and dealer terms, so confirm with BYD Automotive Australia before buying.
Positioning & Body
The BYD SEAL is a five-seat, four-door premium sedan positioned at the upper end of BYD’s passenger car range in Australia. It is a pure electric vehicle built on BYD’s e-Platform 3.0, incorporating Cell-to-Body (CTB) battery integration — an architecture in which the Blade Battery forms a structural element of the vehicle floor. This approach, subject to manufacturer specifications, contributes to the vehicle’s overall rigidity and low centre of gravity.
The SEAL is offered in two variants: Premium (rear-wheel drive) and Performance (all-wheel drive). The exterior is available in Aurora White as standard, with Atlantis Grey, Cosmos Black and Shark Grey as options. The interior is finished in Thaumus Black. The panoramic glass roof with an electric sunshade is fitted across both variants.
Powertrain & Performance
Both SEAL variants use a permanent magnet synchronous rear motor producing 230 kW and 360 Nm of torque. The Performance variant adds a front squirrel cage induction asynchronous motor rated at 160 kW and 310 Nm, bringing combined maximum output to 390 kW and 670 Nm. The Premium produces 230 kW and 360 Nm in total.
| Specification | Premium | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Drive layout | Rear-wheel drive | All-wheel drive |
| Maximum power | 230 kW | 390 kW |
| Maximum torque | 360 Nm | 670 Nm |
| 0–100 km/h | 5.9 s | 3.8 s |
The Performance variant’s 3.8-second sprint capability reflects its dual-motor all-wheel drive configuration. The Intelligent Torque Adaptation Control (iTAC) system is fitted to the Performance variant. For any questions about powertrain operation or servicing, refer to the official owner’s manual or consult an authorised BYD dealer.
Battery, Range & Charging
Both variants share the same BYD Blade Battery pack with a capacity of 82.56 kWh. Claimed range figures on the WLTP cycle are 570 km for the Premium and 520 km for the Performance; on the NEDC cycle the figures are 650 km and 580 km respectively. Real-world range on a highway drive will vary with speed, load, climate control use and ambient temperature.
| Specification | Premium | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 82.56 kWh | 82.56 kWh |
| WLTP range | 570 km | 520 km |
| NEDC range | 650 km | 580 km |
Charging is via a Type 2 AC port supporting up to 7 kW, and a CCS 2 DC port supporting up to 150 kW. A portable Mode 2 charging cable is included. Both variants also feature Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality with a V2L discharge adapter, allowing the battery to power external devices. Regenerative braking is standard. Battery care guidelines — including maintaining a 40%–60% state of charge during extended storage periods — are detailed in the official owner’s manual; confirm charging procedures and maintenance requirements with an authorised BYD dealer.
OTA (over-the-air) software updates are supported, and the vehicle includes 2 GB of mobile data per month for the first 2 years.

Safety & Driver Assistance
The BYD SEAL has been assessed by ANCAP; the official BYD Australia model page displays the ANCAP logo. The specific star rating is not published in the sources used for this guide — check ancap.com.au for the current rating.
Standard safety equipment across both variants includes:
- Front, side, curtain, far-side and rear side airbags with dual-stage pretensioners
- Automatic emergency braking

The front and rear discs are ventilated; the Performance variant uses drilled front discs with painted fixed calipers. Brake system inspection and any brake-related maintenance must be carried out by an authorised BYD dealer or qualified technician — owners should not attempt to service brake components independently.
A 15.6-inch intelligent rotating touchscreen (DiLink system) and a 10.25-inch LCD instrument display are fitted, along with a head-up display. The DYNAUDIO premium sound system includes 12 speakers. Comfort features include ventilated and heated front seats, driver seat position memory, dual wireless phone chargers, and automatic dual-zone heat pump air-conditioning. An in-cabin PM2.5 high-efficiency filter and negative ion air purifier are also standard.
ADAS calibration and any work on high-voltage systems must be performed by a qualified technician; the high-voltage orange cabling must not be touched or opened by owners under any circumstances. Confirm with BYD Automotive Australia if there are questions about specific safety system calibration or replacement procedures.
