The 2025 model year brings incremental improvements including better battery thermal management for improved cold-weather performance, an enhanced charging curve with slightly faster charging times, and improved efficiency (17.1 kWh/100km vs 17.3 in 2024). The dual-motor all-wheel-drive system provides exceptional traction and handling in all weather conditions while maintaining impressive efficiency. With 530 hp and 670 Nm of torque, it rivals or exceeds the Tesla Model 3 Performance and BMW i4 M50 in straight-line performance. The 0.219 drag coefficient helps maintain competitive range. Standard equipment is comprehensive, including premium features like Nappa leather, Dynaudio sound system, and advanced DiPilot driver assistance. The Blade Battery's LFP chemistry ensures long-term reliability with minimal degradation over 3000+ charge cycles, making it an excellent choice for high-mileage drivers.\n","created_at":"2026-02-09","updated_at":"2026-02-09","brand":"BYD","model_name":"Seal","body_style":"sedan","segment":"D","markets":[{"market_code":"DE","currency":"EUR","price_base":51990,"price_including_vat":51990,"available_from":"2025-01-01","availability_status":"available","notes":"BYD Seal Excellence AWD 2025 delivers supercar-level performance (3.8s 0-100 km/h,\n530 hp) at a competitive price point, now with improved efficiency and charging.\n\n2025 Model Year Improvements:\n- Better battery thermal management for improved cold-weather performance\n- Enhanced charging curve (25 min 30-80% vs 26 min in 2024)\n- Improved efficiency: 17.1 kWh/100km (vs 17.3 in 2024)\n- Updated infotainment system with improved UI\n- Price reduction: €51,990 (vs €52,990 in 2024)\n\nDual-motor all-wheel-drive with 390 kW (530 hp) and 670 Nm torque.\n82.5 kWh Blade Battery (LFP chemistry) provides exceptional safety and longevity.\n530 km WLTP range with impressive efficiency despite AWD performance.\nPremium standard equipment: Nappa leather, Dynaudio sound, head-up display, DiPilot.\n8-year/200,000 km battery warranty with 3000+ charge cycle durability.\n\nExcellent all-weather capability with AWD traction control.\nQualifies for 0.25% company car tax benefit (under €70k threshold).\nLower total cost of ownership than comparable German premium EVs.\nFaster delivery times in 2025 (4 weeks vs 6 weeks in 2024).\n\nPopular Configuration: Seal Excellence with metallic paint + brown leather = €53,780\n\nCompany Car Calculation (Germany):\n- Gross list price: €51,990\n- Monthly tax base: €51,990 × 0.25% = €129.98 (vs. €519.90 for ICE)\n- Annual tax savings vs. ICE: ~€4,679\n"},{"market_code":"ES","currency":"EUR","price_base":47490,"price_including_vat":47490,"available_from":"2025-03","availability_status":"available","notes":"BYD Seal Excellence 2025 is the top-spec Seal variant in Spain with AWD and larger battery.
