BYD Seal 2025: All You Need to Know
BYD Seal 2025: Luxury Meets Lightning
Picture this: You’re cruising down the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, the sleek lines of your BYD Seal turning heads faster than a Bollywood celebrity. But it’s not just about looks – this beauty’s got brains too.
“The 2025 BYD Seal isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a revolution on wheels,” says Sanjay Gopal, Chief Strategy Officer at BYD India.
And he’s not exaggerating. Here’s what’s new:
- Power Sunshade: Because who doesn’t love a bit of drama when it comes to blocking out the sun?
- Silver-plated Dimming Canopy: It’s like sunglasses for your car, but way cooler.
- Beefed-up AC: With a larger compressor, it’s ready to take on India’s scorching summers.
- Air Purification Module: Because breathing clean air shouldn’t be a luxury.
But wait, there’s more! The Premium variant now boasts Frequency Selective Dampers (FSD), previously reserved for the top-tier Performance model. Speaking of which, the Performance trim of the BYD Seal gets the fancy DiSus-C system – it’s like having a personal suspension guru making thousands of adjustments per second.
And for the tech-savvy among us, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard across all variants. Plus, there’s a new sound wave function that’s so cutting-edge, it’ll make your favorite playlist sound like it’s performing live in your car.
Atto 3 2025: The People’s EV Gets an Upgrade
Not to be outdone by its sleeker sibling, the Atto 3 has some tricks up its sleeve too. With over 3,100 units sold since its launch, it’s clear that Indians have taken a shine to this compact EV. So, what’s new for 2025?
- All-Black Interiors: Because sometimes, you just want to feel like you’re driving a stealth fighter.
- Ventilated Front Seats: A godsend for those sticky Mumbai afternoons.
- LFP Battery: It’s lighter, more efficient, and has a lifespan that’ll make your smartphone jealous.
“The new Atto 3 is our love letter to the Indian EV enthusiast,” beams Rajesh Mehta, Head of Sales at BYD India.
The Numbers Game: Pricing and Variants
Now, let’s talk turkey. BYD is offering some sweet deals to celebrate these launches:
BYD Atto 3 Pricing (First 3,000 customers)
