The new Seal 07 DM-i adopts a closed upper grille and integrated headlamps for a cleaner look. It measures 4,995 mm long and 1,900 mm wide with a 2,900 mm wheelbase, offering more space than before.

Inside, the new Seal 07 DM-i adds a column-mounted electronic shifter and reworks physical keys on the center console. Seats feature 10-layer structures with electric adjustment and lumbar support for both front occupants, while rear-seat ventilation and heating stand out in its class. Premium features such as a 12-speaker Dynaudio system and a 4.5-liter dual-mode (cooling & heating) storage box further enhance cabin comfort.

The new Seal 07 DM-i comes standard with BYD's God's Eye C smart driving system (DiPilot 100 with a tri-camera suite). Meanwhile new variants with God's Eye B (LiDAR-sensing DiPilot 300) add functions such as urban NOA (navigation on autopilot). BYD says it will underwrite parking-assist safety claims on all God's Eye-powered vehicles with no cap or first-owner limit.

Power-wise, except the base 1.5L version, all new Seal 07 DM-i variants use a 1.5T plug-in hybrid electric system, with battery-powered ranges of 135 km or 230 km, and a combined range of up to 1,585 km. The new model rides on MacPherson/five-link suspension with DiSus-C adaptive damping system, offering a minimum turning radius of 5.6 m.
