2025 BYD Seal spied testing with updated tech in China

AutoExec Summary
Chinese espionage images indicate that BYD’s top-selling electric vehicle (EV) in Australia is set for an update, although its arrival here is uncertain. Shared by ThinkerCar and CarNewsChina, the photos reveal an upgraded Seal sedan, resembling the current model but with new sensors. The Seal 07, as it will be named in China, will debut in early August, delayed from initial July plans to enhance its “intelligent driving features”. Built on BYD’s e-Platform 3.0 Evo EV architecture, the Seal 07 will offer improved rear- and all-wheel drive options with enhanced power outputs. The model’s exterior remains largely unchanged, with new features like a redesigned rear badge and roof-mounted LiDAR system. The Seal is currently available in Australia in three versions, priced between $49,888 and $68,748.
