BYD India has officially rolled out the 2025 version of the Seal EV, priced from Rs. 41 lakh (ex-showroom). This updated model now offers improved ride quality and added convenience features, many of which were seen earlier in the Sealion SUV. As expected, BYD has extended those enhancements to the Seal sedan, making it an even stronger contender in the premium EV segment.
Let’s take a look at the top five updates that define the new Seal.
FSD Suspension
The Premium variant of the 2025 Seal now comes equipped with Frequency Selective Dampers (FSD). These dampers are tuned to respond differently to various types of road inputs, offering better ride comfort without compromising stability. On smoother roads, the dampers soften up for a plush ride, and when things get rough, they stiffen up to keep the car composed. This tech offers the best of both worlds—comfort and control—especially over mixed road conditions in India.
DiSus-C System
Reserved for the top-spec Performance variant, the Seal gets BYD’s ‘DiSus-C’ system. This is BYD’s intelligent suspension setup that automatically adjusts damping stiffness based on real-time road conditions and the driver’s inputs. Whether you’re driving aggressively or just cruising, the system adapts to keep the ride quality balanced.
This dynamic suspension is a step up from regular adaptive dampers and reflects BYD’s growing expertise in EV ride and handling tech.
Improved Air Conditioning
BYD has taken cabin comfort a notch higher with a new air-conditioning system that features a larger compressor. The result? Faster and more efficient cooling, a welcome addition especially during peak summer months.
The car also gets an integrated air purification unit and a new power sunshade, making the rear cabin even more comfortable for passengers. These updates make the Seal feel more like a premium lounge on wheels.
Wireless Smartphone Connectivity
As expected from a 2025 update, the Seal now includes wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard across the range. Earlier, these features were missing or only available with wired connections, but this update brings the Seal up to speed with segment norms.
Drivers can now enjoy a fully wireless cabin experience, from phone mirroring to navigation and calls, without the hassle of cords.
New Auxiliary Battery
Perhaps one of the more understated but significant updates is the switch to a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) auxiliary battery. This low-voltage battery replaces the traditional lead-acid unit and comes with some major benefits.
It’s said to be six times lighter, improving overall efficiency, and it lasts up to 15 years. BYD already uses this battery in the Sealion, and now the Seal benefits from the same durability and long-term reliability.
Here’s a quick overview of the key upgrades:
| Feature | Variant | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| FSD Dampers | Premium | Better ride comfort across surfaces |
| DiSus-C Suspension | Performance | Real-time adaptive damping |
| Upgraded A/C System | All variants | Faster cooling, includes air purifier |
| Wireless Connectivity | All variants | Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (wireless) |
| LFP Auxiliary Battery | All variants | Lighter, longer-lasting, and more efficient |
These updates make the BYD Seal a more compelling choice for premium EV buyers, especially those seeking comfort and tech along with clean design and strong performance.
