Overview
The BYD Seal is a compact executive electric sedan launched in 2025. It suits drivers who want a long-range rear-drive EV or a much quicker all-wheel-drive alternative in a conventional four-door body. The range starts from RM171,800, with both versions using an 82.56 kWh battery and seating five.
Seal in 2026 — what's new
There is no 2026-specific BYD Seal update in the current news cycle, so the 2025 facelift carries into 2026 unchanged. The Malaysian line-up remains a two-car range: the single-motor, rear-wheel-drive Premium and the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive Performance. Both retain the 82.56 kWh battery, while the Premium prioritises range and the Performance prioritises output.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the RM171,800 Premium. Its 308 hp rear-drive layout is paired with the longer 570 km range, and it costs RM20,000 less than the Performance. Pay RM191,800 for the Performance only if 523 hp and all-wheel drive matter more than outright distance between charges; its quoted range falls to 520 km. Both variants have five seats, an 82.56 kWh battery and a single-ratio automatic transmission.

Verdict
The facelifted Seal makes a strong case on paper as a properly specified electric sedan with an 82.56 kWh battery and a meaningful choice of drivetrains. The Premium is the rational version, giving the greater quoted range for less money. The Performance is for buyers who will use its 523 hp and AWD, and it gains DiSus-C adaptive suspension. Its price also sits above the Tesla Model 3 and Dongfeng 007 entry points.
