In terms of power, the 2026 Seal 06GT will be equipped with a second-generation blade battery and flash charging technology, requiring only 5 minutes to charge from 10% to 70%. The single-motor models will have maximum motor power of 200 kW and 240 kW, while the four-wheel-drive model will provide iTAC torque distribution and offer multiple driving modes such as track and drift.
Dada Review: The BYD Seal 06GT is positioned as a mid-size all-electric hatchback, built on BYD's e-Platform 3.0 Evo 800V high-voltage platform, with CTB battery-body integration as standard. The official guide price of the 2025 model is 136,800-186,800 yuan. The biggest changes to the 2026 Seal 06GT are the adoption of the second-generation blade battery and flash charging technology, a major improvement in charging efficiency, a switch to a column shifter, a redesign of the buttons in the central tunnel area of the cabin, and the addition of lidar, which fills the shortfall in intelligent driving. Chassis vibration filtering and handling have also been improved.
