Dealers receive second-generation Seal 07 ahead of launch

Second-generation BYD Seal 07 display units have begun arriving at dealerships across China ahead of a planned 5 November launch, CarNewsChina reports, with the cars shown in Aurora Pink and Pala Green. Customer deliveries are planned for November. Dealer billing notices reportedly list a preliminary allocation price of 180,000 yuan (about 25,250 USD), but CarNewsChina emphasises this is not the final retail price, and BYD has not announced the new model's pricing or launch date in that report. 1

The rapid turnaround is notable: the current Seal 07 EV entered the Chinese market in March 2026, meaning the replacement emerges roughly five to six months later. Sales of the outgoing car are fading: according to China EV DataTracker figures cited by CarNewsChina, the outgoing Seal 07 range sold 624 units in September — 296 DM-i hybrids and 328 EVs — with DM-i sales down 54.8 per cent month-on-month and EV sales down 3.5 per cent. CarNewsChina had earlier reported 1,005 combined units handed over in August 2026, while CarExpert reported the replacement surfaced in Chinese government certification filings after 627 sales in June 2026 and may be a response to weak demand. 163

Dimensions and platform: a larger sedan on e-Platform 3.0 Evo

The second-generation Seal 07 measures 5080 mm long, 1960 mm wide and 1495 mm tall on a 2960 mm wheelbase — 85 mm longer, 50 mm wider and with a 60 mm longer wheelbase than the outgoing model, which CarNewsChina lists at 4995 mm long and 1910 mm wide. CarExpert puts those dimensions in context against models Australians see: 240 mm longer than the BYD Seal 6 sedan and wagon sold locally, and 280 mm longer than the BYD Seal electric sedan. The sedan was unveiled through China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on 7 August 2026 as a smaller counterpart to the Ocean series' flagship Seal 08. 136

Packaging details reported by CarNewsChina include a 618-litre rear trunk, plus a 160-litre front trunk on the battery-electric version that the plug-in hybrid does not get. The EV moves to rear-wheel drive on BYD's e-Platform 3.0 Evo, and the car is listed with the DiSus-M intelligent magnetorheological body-control system alongside front double-wishbone and rear five-link independent suspension. For comparison, BYD's own Hong Kong page for the existing Seal lists a 400-litre rear boot and 53-litre front boot, and notes the model's cell-to-body (CTB) construction and e-Platform 3.0 underpinnings. 12

Electric versions: two outputs, claimed ranges and flash charging

Two battery-electric variants are listed in the MIIT filing, as reported by CarNewsChina. The entry version uses a 76.744 kWh LFP battery — listed as weighing 539 kg, almost 28 per cent of the car's kerb weight — powering a TZ205QYS rear motor producing 245 kW (329 hp). The long-range version gets an 88.682 kWh pack weighing 618.6 kg, about 30 per cent of kerb weight, driving a TZ205QYD motor producing 300 kW (402 hp) with a 240 km/h top speed. BYD's claimed ranges are 775 km and 875 km under China's CLTC test cycle, which CarNewsChina converts to approximately 636 km and 718 km WLTP. 614

Both use BYD's second-generation Blade Battery, which supports flash charging. CarNewsChina's September report states the entry battery could be charged from 10 to 97 per cent in nine minutes; Cars24 Australia's summary of the same filing lists the long-range version at 10–97 per cent in 9 minutes under that flash-charging specification. BYD promotes a charge that is "ready in 5 minutes, full in 9 minutes", although CarNewsChina cautions that actual charging times depend on operating conditions, and neither report supplies a detailed measured charging curve or stated charging temperature. 164

Plug-in hybrid and driver assistance

The Seal 07 DM-i pairs a BYD472ZQB 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine rated at 115 kW (154 hp) with a TZ210XYC electric motor producing 160 kW (215 hp), fed by a 38.029 kWh LFP battery. Its 245 km electric range is listed under the WLTC cycle in CarNewsChina's dealer-arrival report, while CarExpert and Cars24 Australia attribute the same 245 km figure to the CLTC cycle; the discrepancy is not resolved in the supplied reporting. CarNewsChina reports BYD's claim of 4.25 L/100 km with a drained battery, and the DM-i has a 190 km/h top speed. 1346

On driver assistance, CarNewsChina notes a roof-mounted LiDAR unit is visible on the cars shown, but that BYD has not detailed the driver-assistance functions or their availability across trims. Syndicated 7News Melbourne coverage via Head Topics identifies the system as the 'God's Eye B' ADAS suite and describes the design under BYD's 'Ocean Aesthetics 2.0' philosophy with a panoramic sunroof, semi-hidden door handles and 18- or 19-inch wheels; those equipment details should be read as attributed reporting rather than a BYD specification sheet. 15

Pricing and Australian availability remain open questions

Final Chinese retail pricing has not been announced. As an interim reference, CarNewsChina lists the outgoing EV at 169,900 to 189,900 yuan and the outgoing DM-i at 149,800 to 186,800 yuan, while CarExpert cites a starting price of ¥169,900 (around A$35,700) for the current Seal 07 EV in China. CarExpert also places the new sedan against Chinese rivals: pricier than the Mazda EZ-6 EV from about ¥139,800, but cheaper than the Tesla Model 3 from ¥235,500 in China. These figures describe the Chinese market only. 13

The new Seal 07 has not been confirmed for Australia. Cars24 Australia reports it is exclusive to China for now and argues a local launch appears unlikely because BYD already sells the standard Seal in Premium and Performance grades plus the Seal 6 plug-in hybrid sedan here; the outlet also notes a separate BYD Seal 7 sedan has cleared Australian homologation documents. CarExpert similarly reports the model is unconfirmed locally, where it could be badged Seal 7, while noting Australian government filings published in May 2026 suggest a Seal 7 plug-in hybrid will become BYD Australia's second PHEV sedan. Whether that filing relates to this second-generation car is not established in the reporting, and 7News Melbourne's syndicated anticipation of an Australian arrival is presented without confirmed export plans. 435

    For comparison, BYD's own Hong Kong page for the existing Seal lists a 400-litre rear boot and 53-litre front boot, and notes the model's cell-to-body (CTB) construction and e-Platform 3.0 underpinnings.

    BYD Hong Kong Seal page confirms 400 L rear, 53 L front, CTB and e-Platform 3.0.

  23. OpinionSupported by the retained evidence

    Electric versions: two outputs, claimed ranges and flash charging

    Heading consistent with reported two BEV outputs, claimed ranges and flash charging.

  24. Attributed claimSupported by the retained evidence

    Two battery-electric variants are listed in the MIIT filing, as reported by CarNewsChina.

    Two BEV variants plus PHEV listed in MIIT filing, attributed to CarNewsChina, supported.

  25. Factual statementSupported by the retained evidence

    The entry version uses a 76.744 kWh LFP battery — listed as weighing 539 kg, almost 28 per cent of the car's kerb weight — powering a TZ205QYS rear motor producing 245 kW (329 hp).

    76.744 kWh, 539 kg, ~28% kerb weight, TZ205QYS 245 kW entry variant supported.

  26. Factual statementSupported by the retained evidence

    The long-range version gets an 88.682 kWh pack weighing 618.6 kg, about 30 per cent of kerb weight, driving a TZ205QYD motor producing 300 kW (402 hp) with a 240 km/h top speed.

  29. Unresolved classificationPartly supported

    CarNewsChina's September report states the entry battery could be charged from 10 to 97 per cent in nine minutes; Cars24 Australia's summary of the same filing lists the long-range version at 10–97 per cent in 9 minutes under that flash-charging specification.

    Entry-battery 10–97% in nine minutes supported; but s6's table lists '10-97% in 9 mins' under the Entry BEV column with a dash for long-range, so the claim that Cars24 Australia lists it for the long-range version is contradicted.

  30. Attributed claimSupported by the retained evidence

    BYD promotes a charge that is "ready in 5 minutes, full in 9 minutes", although CarNewsChina cautions that actual charging times depend on operating conditions, and neither report supplies a detailed measured charging curve or stated charging temperature.

    BYD472ZQB engine, TZ210XYC motor, 115 kW/160 kW outputs and 38.029 kWh battery supported.

  33. AnalysisSupported by the retained evidence

    Its 245 km electric range is listed under the WLTC cycle in CarNewsChina's dealer-arrival report, while CarExpert and Cars24 Australia attribute the same 245 km figure to the CLTC cycle; the discrepancy is not resolved in the supplied reporting.

    s1 states WLTC, s4 states CLTC ('BYD claims'), s6 table lists 245 km under CLTC; discrepancy is accurately described and not resolved in supplied reporting.

  34. Factual statementSupported by the retained evidence

    CarNewsChina reports BYD's claim of 4.25 L/100 km with a drained battery, and the DM-i has a 190 km/h top speed.

    4.25 L/100 km drained-battery figure (s10, s6) and 190 km/h top speed (s10) supported.

  35. Factual statementSupported by the retained evidence

    On driver assistance, CarNewsChina notes a roof-mounted LiDAR unit is visible on the cars shown, but that BYD has not detailed the driver-assistance functions or their availability across trims.

    Visible roof LiDAR and BYD's lack of detail on ADAS functions/trim availability supported verbatim.

  36. Attributed claimSupported by the retained evidence

    Syndicated 7News Melbourne coverage via Head Topics identifies the system as the 'God's Eye B' ADAS suite and describes the design under BYD's 'Ocean Aesthetics 2.0' philosophy with a panoramic sunroof, semi-hidden door handles and 18- or 19-inch wheels; those equipment details should be read as attributed reporting rather than a BYD specification sheet.

    'God's Eye B', 'Ocean Aesthetics 2.0', panoramic sunroof, semi-hidden door handles and 18/19-inch wheels all supported in the syndicated Head Topics/7News Melbourne text.

  37. OpinionSupported by the retained evidence

    Pricing and Australian availability remain open questions

    Heading consistent with open pricing and unconfirmed Australian availability in sources.

  38. Factual statementSupported by the retained evidence

    Final Chinese retail pricing has not been announced.

    s1 states the reported 180,000 yuan figure is not the final retail price and BYD has yet to announce pricing.

  39. Factual statementSupported by the retained evidence

    As an interim reference, CarNewsChina lists the outgoing EV at 169,900 to 189,900 yuan and the outgoing DM-i at 149,800 to 186,800 yuan, while CarExpert cites a starting price of ¥169,900 (around A$35,700) for the current Seal 07 EV in China.

    Outgoing EV 169,900–189,900 yuan and DM-i 149,800–186,800 yuan (s1); CarExpert's ¥169,900/~A$35,700 starting price for the outgoing EV supported.

  40. Attributed claimPartly supported

    CarExpert also places the new sedan against Chinese rivals: pricier than the Mazda EZ-6 EV from about ¥139,800, but cheaper than the Tesla Model 3 from ¥235,500 in China.

    Rival price figures (Mazda EZ-6 from ~¥139,800; Model 3 from ¥235,500) are supported, but s4 applies the pricier/cheaper comparison to the outgoing Seal 07 EV, not the new sedan as claimed.

  41. AnalysisSupported by the retained evidence

    These figures describe the Chinese market only.

    All cited prices are Chinese-market figures; Australia-specific pricing in s4 concerns other models, supporting the China-only qualification.

  42. Factual statementSupported by the retained evidence

    The new Seal 07 has not been confirmed for Australia.

    'Not been confirmed for Australia' and China-only status supported by s4 and s6.

  43. Attributed claimSupported by the retained evidence

    Cars24 Australia reports it is exclusive to China for now and argues a local launch appears unlikely because BYD already sells the standard Seal in Premium and Performance grades plus the Seal 6 plug-in hybrid sedan here; the outlet also notes a separate BYD Seal 7 sedan has cleared Australian homologation documents.

    Cars24 Australia content: China-exclusive, unlikely local launch due to Seal Premium/Performance plus Seal 6 PHEV overlap, and Seal 7 clearing Australian homologation documents, all supported.

  44. Attributed claimSupported by the retained evidence

    CarExpert similarly reports the model is unconfirmed locally, where it could be badged Seal 7, while noting Australian government filings published in May 2026 suggest a Seal 7 plug-in hybrid will become BYD Australia's second PHEV sedan.

    CarExpert content: unconfirmed locally, possible Seal 7 badging, and May 2026 Australian filings suggesting a Seal 7 PHEV as BYD's second PHEV sedan, all supported.

  45. AnalysisSupported by the retained evidence

    Whether that filing relates to this second-generation car is not established in the reporting, and 7News Melbourne's syndicated anticipation of an Australian arrival is presented without confirmed export plans.

    No supplied source links the May 2026 Seal 7 PHEV filings to the second-generation Seal 07; s7's anticipation is hedged ('pending final approvals', 'should the export plans materialise') without confirmed export plans.
