Based on previously released images, the Seal 08 appears positioned as a large sport sedan, carrying forward the core design language of the BYD Ocean-S concept. Up front, the car features a closed grille paired with slender headlights that echo the sculpted hood—elements that amplify its sporty character. Notably, a roof-mounted lidar sensor provides the hardware backbone for its driver-assistance capabilities.
Along the sides, a fastback silhouette and semi-hidden door handles streamline the profile, while large, multi-spoke wheels add a touch of luxury. At the rear, full-width taillights feature internal light strips shaped like ocean waves, tying back to the design cues seen up front.
Technologically, the Seal 08 is packed with advanced features, including rear-wheel steering, megawatt-level fast charging, the "God's Eye 5.0" autonomous driving system, and CTB (Cell-to-Body) integration. Official figures suggest the megawatt charging system can deliver 400 kilometers of range in just five minutes, with total pure-electric range expected to exceed 1,000 kilometers. Additionally, the rear-wheel steering system is set to significantly enhance handling agility and the overall driving experience.
