Overview
History
The Seal 08 was previewed by the BYD Ocean-S concept shown at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show Its concept version was made to showcase BYD's future direction when it comes to designing their cars.[1] At BYD's Ocean Day on December 15, 2025, the Seal 08 was officially announced alongside the Sealion 08.[2] Teasers were shown on March 3, 2026.[3] The Seal 08 was officially unveiled on March 5, 2026, and will officially launch in the second quarter of 2026.[4]
Design
The Seal 08 retains most of the design of the Ocean-S concept that previewed it.[1] It utilizes a closed-off grille complimented by narrow headlights that weave at their base. Ambient lighting is incorporated into the air ducts on both sides. It uses a fastback silhouette.[5]
Features
The Seal 08 uses BYD's DiSus-A intelligent body control system that replaces traditional coil-spring suspension with air suspension as well as rear-wheel steering for enchanced maneuverability. Also included is the God's Eye B system that uses a LiDAR sensor.[5]
Powertrain
The Seal 08 is built on an 800-volt platform and uses the company's second-generation Blade lithium iron phosphate battery. It has a claimed range of 621.3 miles (1,000 km) and the Seal 08's Flash Charging compatibility allows it to add 249 miles (401 km) in 5 minutes of charging.[6] Only the power output of the all-wheel-drive version is known and is claimed to be 644 horsepower.[5]
