The BYD Seal got updated in Malaysia last August with a pair of variants on offer – the RM172k one-motor RWD Premium and the RM192k two-motor AWD Performance. These prices are around RM8k less than before, although the outgoing cars were offered with big five-figure discounts.
You do get quite a bit extra now, however – new multi-spoke alloys (still 19-inch units with 235/45 tyres), a powered sunroof blind (finally!), a sunglasses compartment located next to the driver’s head, and you can now use your phone as the car key.
The range-topping Performance gains red brake callipers and – here’s the big one – an adaptive DiSus-C continuous damping control system, something like the Denza D9‘s. Now blessed with this, it can hands dow its frequency selective damping (FSD) suspension to the Premium variant, which didn’t have it before.
Ceteris paribus otherwise – the 313 PS/360 Nm Premium does 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and the 530 PS/670 Nm Performance in 3.8 seconds, 82.5 kWh LFP Blade battery for both variants yielding 570 and 520 km WLTP respectively, plus 150 kW DC (30-80% in 32 minutes) and 7 kW AC (empty to full in 15.2 hours) charging. Hafriz Shah drives both Seal variants back to back here – find out what he thinks.

Still a mediocre 7kw AC charging… why?
adaptive dampers on a less than 200k car, some bmw/merc/lexus costing twice as much dont even get this feature, so this is thanks to which peoples party and which president X…
Want to guess where they cut cost?
