Auto Expo 2023: BYD Seal Electric Sedan Lands In India

BYD India showcases the upcoming BYD Seal electric sedan in India at the ongoing Auto Expo 2023. The upcoming BYD Seal electric sedan will join the BYD Atto 3 electric SUV later this year in the company’s EV-only portfolio. Globally, the BYD Seal electric sedan rivals the Tesla Model 3 while it doesn’t compete with any EV. The fully electric model is a follow-up to the Ocean-X concept and will be based on BYD’s new electric architecture called the e-platform 3.0.

The interior of the BYD Seal electric sedan consists of a massive free-standing infotainment touchscreen taking the role of a centre-console, identical to the BYD Atto 3 electric SUV.
