On July 2, BYD Ocean Network's large flagship family sedan, the Seal 08, was officially launched, offering both plug-in hybrid and pure electric dual-power versions, with a total of 6 models introduced. The official guide price ranges from 196,900 yuan to 239,900 yuan. Starting today, users can enjoy multiple launch benefits including a 1-year free flash charging privilege and a trade-in subsidy of up to 10,000 yuan. As the culmination of BYD's leading technologies, the Seal 08 offers era elites a million-level travel experience beyond expectations with product strengths that others do not have, such as flash charging technology, dual backing for parking intelligent driving, a 905 km pure electric range, Cloud Chassis-A plus rear-wheel steering, and 37 world-first leading advantages.
Million-level flagship presence: premium at first glance, simple yet not simplistic
Adhering to the Ocean Aesthetics 2.0 design concept, the Seal 08 brings not only a stunning first impression, but also a unique beauty that withstands the test of time. The front face outlines the momentum of riding the wind and breaking the waves with minimalist lines, paired with Ice Eye daytime running lights, exuding a premium presence of its own. Viewed from the side, the 5150 mm ultra-long body and 3030 mm class-leading wheelbase make the stance even more elongated. The unobstructed C-pillar design creates a more open and expansive view for rear passengers, and both the second-row side window area and rear quarter window visibility rank first in their class, satisfying both face and substance. The unique tidal gradient taillight at the rear features four layers of light effects and is highly recognizable.
The body colors are also quite stylish. The Seal 08 adopts BASF clearcoat and multi-layer color paint processes identical to those of million-yuan luxury cars, carefully formulating six flagship custom colors: Aca Coral Red, Flowing Silver, Cloud Mist White, Sea Mist Purple, Poseidon Green, and Obsidian Black. It also launches two exclusive two-tone exterior options: High-Gloss Quantum Silver + Poseidon Green and Flowing Silver + Sea Mist Purple, creating a one-of-a-kind flagship presence with nobility recognized at a glance. The interior is equally outstanding, with four interior color schemes: Dawn Light Beige, Cloud Frost Beige, Misty Sunset Brown, and Condensed Night Purple, offering users richer personalized choices.
Million-level range and replenishment: large battery + flash charging is the real ace
The Seal 08 comes standard across the lineup with a native flash charging platform, achieving an astonishing replenishment efficiency of "charge well in 5 minutes, charge full in 9 minutes, and only 3 minutes more at minus 30 degrees." The plug-in hybrid version has the class-leading strongest 400 km CLTC pure electric range, requiring no fuel at all for daily commuting, and a combined range of 1660 km with a full tank and full charge, completely curing travel anxiety. Its NEDC fuel consumption at low battery is as low as 3.6 L per 100 km, making even long-distance journeys effortless. The pure electric version achieves the class-leading longest CLTC pure electric range of 905 km, easily crossing between cities on a single charge. With the ace combination of "large battery + flash charging," the Seal 08 completely breaks the dual shackles of range mileage and charging wait time, redefining the ceiling of new energy vehicles.
Million-level flagship safety: more reassuring, tougher, more comprehensive
Safety is the greatest luxury. In terms of battery safety, the second-generation Blade Battery equipped in the Seal 08 has successfully passed rigorous tests far exceeding new national standards, safeguarding every reassuring journey from the source. At the passive safety level, the Seal 08 builds a mobile safety fortress for every occupant with a series of hardcore protections, including a ten-horizontal and seven-vertical cage body structure, high-strength steel and aluminum alloy accounting for up to 86.3%, submarine-grade 2000 MPa TRB hot-formed steel in key body areas, all-aluminum front and rear anti-collision beams debuting in Ocean Network, and 11 airbags standard across the lineup. In the field of intelligent safety, the Seal 08 comes standard across the lineup with God's Eye B - assisted driving lidar version, equipped with God's Eye 5.0. With solid performance of stable driving, quick response, and precise stopping, it covers the two core scenarios of highway navigation and urban navigation, and promises dual backing for intelligent parking and urban navigation, protecting travel safety throughout the journey.
Million-level flagship luxury: comfortable and effortless, every seat is flagship-grade
In terms of the cabin, the Seal 08 delivers a flagship-level travel experience for the whole family through the three dimensions of ritual, relaxation, and technology, truly making every seat first class. First is the sense of ritual before getting in. When the vehicle is unlocked, the Ocean Wing welcome light carpet automatically lights up, and the four-door intelligent soft-close doors gently close with a push, making every entry and exit composed and graceful.
Next is the sense of relaxation while sitting inside. The extra-large segmented panoramic glass roof creates an extremely open cabin environment. The mother-of-pearl trim from the same source as luxury goods feels warm to the touch, and over 90% of the vehicle's soft upholstery uses mother-and-baby-grade environmentally friendly genuine leather, infusing care into every detail. A room utilization rate of up to 84.4% transforms the advantages of the large body size into ample enjoyment for passengers. The class-exclusive front dual zero-gravity seats, combined with ventilation, heating, and massage functions for the entire vehicle, unlock a cloud-like comfortable seating posture with one touch. Particularly worth mentioning is that the rear row of the Seal 08 not only has the largest space in its class, but is also equipped with power-adjustable backrests, power leg rests, and a small table on the back of the front passenger seat, allowing every family member to find the most comfortable posture.
Thanks to structural optimization, the class-largest 160 L power front trunk makes it more convenient to access items and less likely to dirty clothing. Six opening methods, including exterior knock-to-unlock, exterior physical buttons, and in-car voice control, make every access more elegant and effortless. The 533 L extra-large rear trunk is also equipped with a convenient item retrieval function. Linked with Cloud Chassis-A, the suspension automatically lowers when the user opens the trunk, making it easier to load and unload items. At the same time, the vehicle also has the most thoughtful storage spaces in its class, totaling 40, including rear seat ski pass-through, a hidden automotive-grade tissue box, and a humanized umbrella storage slot with an invisible drain.
Finally, there is the sense of technology in use. BYD's super intelligent agent Didi Xia brings spiritual interaction that is "easy to chat with, capable of getting things done, and fun to play with," while the new UI with a transparent visual style makes information access more intuitive. Eight magnetic expansion points throughout the vehicle can connect action cameras, tablets, and more as desired, while the three-zone intelligent air conditioning precisely lets the whole family enjoy their own comfortable temperatures. BYD's self-developed smart buttons can customize more than twenty commonly used functions, allowing family members in the rear who are unfamiliar with voice and touchscreen operation to control the ceiling-mounted screen, air conditioning, and other devices with one touch.
Million-level flagship driving control: smooth and agile, fast but not harsh
In terms of handling, the Seal 08 is equipped with Cloud Chassis-A closed dual-chamber air suspension and a road preview system. The front double-wishbone and rear five-link chassis suspension share the same lineage as million-level luxury cars. Combined with the active anti-motion sickness adjustment system, whether it is the fine bumps of old roads or the harsh impacts of undulating sections, they can all be resolved one by one, so elderly people and children in the rear do not get carsick or sway, and long journeys remain comfortable throughout. In terms of performance, the Seal 08 also demonstrates flagship strength: the DM four-wheel-drive version has a dual-motor combined power of 400 kW and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds; the EV four-wheel-drive version has a total motor power of up to 510 kW and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 3.3 seconds. Its power performance is enough to rival million-level V8 sports cars, giving every start full confidence and assurance. The rear-wheel steering and intelligent crab walk functions, identical to those of million-level luxury cars, allow this flagship sedan with a length of more than 5 meters to have a turning radius of only 4.95 meters, the smallest in its class. It handles narrow-road U-turns and tight parking spaces with ease, letting a large car deliver the agility of an A0-class small car.
Summary:
A new flagship rising star, all in one step. As the most versatile flagship family sedan under 300,000 yuan, it makes a million-level experience within reach with all-around product strength including 37 world-firsts and 6 class-leading advantages, bringing era elites who refuse to compromise an answer that requires no trade-offs. The Seal 08 has now been officially launched. Interested users are welcome to visit stores for test drives and appreciation, and begin their own journey of advancement.
