First, the model description

In terms of appearance, the new car is basically the same as the current model, and still adopts the "marine aesthetic" design concept. The lines of the whole car are smooth and full of tension, showing a strong sense of sports and technology. At the same time, the LED daytime running lights show a "flying wing" design, which has a high degree of recognition after lighting.

The tail adopts a through-type taillight group, which is simple and layered. At the same time, the tail label no longer uses the "Build Your Dreams" logo, replaced by the "BYD" logo, which will appear red when lit. In addition, a lidar is added to the roof of the mid-to-high-end model, providing the DiPilot 300, a high-end intelligent driver assistance system with the eye of the gods.

In terms of wheels, the 2025 SEAL has added a 19-inch Lingbo wind blade rim, which is quite fashionable in visual effect. In terms of tire specifications, the entry model is equipped with 225/50 R18 tires, and the rest of the models are equipped with 235/45 R19 tires.

In terms of body color, although the 2025 Seals are not as rich as the old models, a new sky purple color scheme has been added to the whole series, which is very eye-catching. At the same time, it also provides black, Atlantis gray and rosemary gray color scheme. Among them, the rosemary gray color scheme needs to be increased by 2,000 yuan.

In terms of the interior, the new car has remodeled the center console area, with a larger black and bright trim area and textured decoration, which is quite elegant. In addition, a new color scheme called "Sardinia Coral Orange" has been added to the interior of the two mid-range models, which can create a good sense of high-end. In addition, the periphery of the shift mechanism adopts a circular design, and the front is still equipped with a wireless charging pad for mobile phones, but its tilt angle is smaller.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with 1200V silicon carbide electronic control, and adopts the highest speed motor in the world at 23000rpm, with a maximum speed of 240km/h. The motor is divided into two versions of single motor and dual motor, with a total power of 170kW, 230kW, 390kW, and a pure electric cruising range of 510km, 650km and 600km under CLTC conditions. In addition, except for the entry-level models, the rest of the models support 800V technology, and 10% -80% fast charging only takes about 25 minutes.

II. Vehicle configuration highlights and recommendations

The 2025 Seal entry model has better performance, such as keyless entry function, wireless charging of the front mobile phone, front seat heating/ventilation, front/rear parking radar, and 360-degree panoramic images. It is also equipped with more technology-sensitive matrix headlights. The reason why it is not recommended is that the pure electric mileage is short, especially in winter cars, and the battery life is even more stretched.

III. Difference analysis of recommended vehicle configurations

From the configuration point of view, the recommended model is not only longer than the entry-level model CLTC pure electric cruising range, but also the total power of the motor has been improved, and the acceleration ability is better. At the same time, the configuration also has more electric trunk, rear side privacy glass, car KTV, Dynaudio and multi-color interior ambient ambient lights that consumers like, the price is only 14,000 yuan more, and the cost performance is not too high.

650 smart driving version of the recommended model mainly adds a lidar, which can provide higher-order driving auxiliary features, and adds high-order configuration such as steering wheel heating and HUD head-up digital display. Although the price is 27,000 yuan more, but the models equipped with lidar at about 200,000 yuan are relatively rare, and the overall cost performance is OK. Small partners who are interested in high-end smart driving can consider it, and for most consumers of family cars, it is practical.

Overall, if you are looking at the 2025 BYD Seal, then the 650 long-range version is worth your priority.
