Performance

The BYD Seal AWD has a maximum power of 390KW (530hp). The total torque is 670nm. The 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) takes 3,8 seconds. The top speed is 180 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 85,4kWh and a net capacity of 82,5kWh, meaning you have a 2,9kWh buffer for protection. (3,4%). The Lithium-Ion battery uses LFP technology. This has some benefits and disadvantages from the typical NCA/NCM batteries.

The WLTP range is 520 km (323 mi). The consumption is 15,9kWh/100km for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 150kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 64 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 35 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 4% to 59% resulting in an actual charge speed including time loss on 92kW. Each charge session would take 29 minutes and 27 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 25kWh/100km, 1000km will take 10 hours and 10 minutes to drive. This trip will require four charge session(s) charging from 8% to 59%. The total time lost for charging will be 110 minutes.

Onboard charger

For level 1 and level 2 AC charging, the onboard charger supports up to 11KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 7 hours and 30 minutes.
