Performance and Charging Efficiency

The BYD Seal Advanced represents a leap forward in the brand’s commitment to delivering efficient and affordable electric mobility in the Philippines. Powered by a 61.4 kWh Blade Battery, the Seal Advanced delivers an impressive driving range of 510 kilometers (NEDC). Equipped with BYD’s advanced Cell-to-Body technology, the battery is integrated directly into the vehicle’s body, improving torsional rigidity, enhancing safety, and reducing overall weight for better performance.

The sedan’s rear-wheel drive setup is powered by a 203 PS Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, generating 310 Nm of torque, allowing for a 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 7.5 seconds. Its 18-inch alloy wheels and refined performance characteristics ensure a comfortable yet dynamic driving experience.

With flexible charging options, the BYD Seal Advanced is equipped for modern driving needs. It supports 110 kW DC fast charging, enabling a 30% to 80% recharge in just 30 minutes, perfect for long journeys. Additionally, its 7kW AC charging system allows a full charge from 0% to 100% in approximately 12 hours, ideal for overnight home charging, ensuring drivers have the range needed for their daily commutes.

“Introducing the Seal Advanced variant allows us to offer more Filipinos the opportunity to experience BYD’s electric sedan lineup. This model is a testament to our ongoing commitment to expand BYD’s presence in the Philippines and meet the growing demand for electric vehicles,” said Aiffy Liu, Country Head of BYD Philippines.

Advanced Safety and Luxurious Comfort

The Seal Advanced continues BYD’s tradition of combining cutting-edge technology with luxury and safety. It features a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless connectivity. The interior is elegantly designed with a full-leather cabin and suede inserts, enhancing both comfort and style.

Equipped with an array of modern comforts, the Seal Advanced includes a 10-speaker sound system, wireless charging, keyless entry with Near-Field Communication (NFC), Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, and power-adjustable front seats (8-way for the driver, 6-way for the passenger).

Safety is at the forefront of the Seal Advanced’s design. Its Di-Pilot Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) provides a comprehensive suite of safety features, including Stop-and-Go Full-Speed Adaptive Cruise Control, Intelligent Speed Limit Control, Predictive Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Change Assist, Front and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Blind Spot Detection. Additionally, a 360-degree View Camera with See-Through Mode and six radar sensors offer enhanced awareness and protection.

Complementing these systems are eight airbags, Traction Control, Electronic Stability Control, ABS, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, and an Anti-Theft System, ensuring peace of mind on every journey.

Pricing and Warranty

The new BYD Seal Advanced is priced at PHP 1,998,000. It comes with a comprehensive 8-year or 160,000-km warranty for the BYD Blade Battery, an 8-year or 150,000-km warranty for the drive unit, and a 6-year or 150,000-km vehicle warranty, offering long-term confidence and reliability for owners.
