It Looks Like The Seal Will Start Having A More Prominent Role For BYD
6-inch touchscreenBYD has several models under the “Dynasty” series, such as the Han, the Song, and the Tang. There is also the “Ocean” series, which has the Dolphin and the Seal, amongst others. A subset of the Ocean series includes the so-called “Warship”series, including models named Frigate and Destroyer. Some of the Destroyer models are also called Chasers. Some of these are already exported to markets like, where the Destroyer 05 will be sold as the Chaser 05.
However, an interesting thing happened recently when BYD announced the start of production of the Destroyer 07. This car has now been “rebranded” as the BYD Seal DM-i. The Seal sedan only had a fully electric version when it was announced and did not have a PHEV version. Now the Seal brand will come to the PHEV side of the Ocean series with this new Seal DM-i, which is a remarkably interesting development.
Now, another model seems to have now been given the Seal name as well. The BYD Song Plus Champion Edition electric SUV appears to be having an export version perhaps that will be known as the BYD Seal U SUV. Have a look athaving a look at the BYD Seal U all-electric SUV. The Song Plus EV in China has versions with a 71 kWh and an 87 kWh Blade Battery, giving a range of 520 to 605 km in CLTC, respectively. Charging is up to 11 kW on AC and 140 kW on DC.
