Aesthetics Marine Design
The front end of the BYD Seal shows the X design concept, making it striking and standing out in a crowd with its aggressive and bold appearance. It offers rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) with range figures of 354 and 323 miles, respectively.
The reduced range from the AWD variant is due to motors providing power to all four wheels, giving the phenomenal performance of 530hp. Compared to the RWD’s modest but still potent 313hp of the rear-wheel-drive car.
