BYD India has officially launched the updated version of its all-electric sedan, the Seal EV, with prices starting at Rs. 41 lakh (ex-showroom). The 2025 model comes with a handful of changes focused on improving ride comfort, in-car tech, and everyday usability. Many of these features were earlier seen in the BYD Sealion, so it’s no surprise they’ve made their way to the Seal as well. Here’s a look at the top five upgrades introduced in the latest version of this EV.
FSD Suspension
One of the most notable updates is the addition of Frequency Selective Dampers (FSD) on the Premium variant. These dampers help in tuning the suspension stiffness based on the road surface, offering a more refined and comfortable ride.
Whether you’re cruising on the highway or navigating bumpy city roads, the FSD system adjusts dynamically to reduce harshness without compromising on stability. This makes everyday driving smoother and improves the Seal’s high-speed manners as well.
DiSus-C System
For those opting for the Performance variant, BYD has now equipped it with the ‘DiSus-C’ suspension system. This smart setup continuously analyses driving inputs and road conditions to soften or firm up the suspension automatically.
It’s ideal for drivers who want both comfort and performance without toggling between drive modes. Whether you’re taking sharp corners or just commuting to work, the system ensures optimum body control and comfort throughout the journey.
Upgraded Climate System
BYD has also worked on the cabin comfort of the Seal EV. The updated model now includes:
- A power sunshade
- A larger compressor for improved cooling
- An integrated air purification unit
This means better temperature control even during hot summers, along with cleaner air inside the cabin. These additions make the car more suited to Indian driving conditions, where climate and air quality can vary drastically.
Wireless Smartphone Integration
Another important update in the 2025 Seal EV is the inclusion of wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. These features are now standard, eliminating the need for cables and improving overall convenience.
Drivers can now enjoy seamless access to their apps, maps, and music without dealing with tangled wires — something buyers in this segment expect as standard.
New Auxiliary Battery
Lastly, BYD has swapped the conventional auxiliary battery with a new Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery. This low-voltage unit is:
- Six times lighter than a lead-acid battery
- Designed to last up to 15 years
This improvement not only reduces the vehicle’s weight but also improves long-term reliability. It’s the same battery that powers the Sealion’s auxiliary systems, and BYD has smartly carried it over to the Seal.
