News & Top StoriesIn India, BYD Seal Prices Beat Out All Premium EV Competitors!
BYD Seal Car: The introduction of the BYD Seal electric sedan has caused a stir in India’s luxury electric car market. After making its debut at Auto Expo 2023, the Seal has now been made available for purchase throughout the nation at a very affordable price. You should be aware that the BYD Seal is a quite well-equipped model before we talk about the figures. The highest variation has a dual-motor arrangement and is powerful enough to complete the 0-100 kmph race in less than 4 seconds. This is how its prices break down by variant about its closest competitors and substitutes.

Most astonishingly, though, is that the top-spec BYD Seal costs around Rs 20 lakh less than the BMW i4, the next best premium electric sedan available in India.
