A BYD video of its new 2027 Seal 06 reveals that the automotive comes with lidar built-in into the roof/windshield of the car. The automotive, which comes as each a pure electrical mannequin and a plug-in hybrid, has BYD’s God’s Eye B ADAS. That’s an improve from the 2026 BYD Seal 06, which comes with God’s Eye C and no lidar. The 2026 model prices simply 109,800 yuan ($16,273). I assume the brand new model can be an analogous worth, even with the notable ADAS improve.

The up to date car launches at present. The automotive is tremendous slick inside and contains a number of cool options, together with a mini fridge. I’m not a giant fan of the outside design of the mannequin besides when standing proper in entrance of it, however the inside of the automotive is as good and interesting as something I’ve seen.

The up to date model can be extra highly effective than the 2026 mannequin. Energy output goes from 110 kW and 160 kW to 120 kW and 240 kW.

BYD offered greater than half 1,000,000 models of the Seal 06 final 12 months. With the 2027 mannequin bettering a lot, may the mannequin shoot well beyond half 1,000,000 in 2027? Or wouldn’t it be successful simply to log half 1,000,000 once more?

As one of the vital fashionable electrical automobiles on this planet (notably, coming as each a full electrical mannequin and a plug-in hybrid), I’m definitely excited in regards to the upgrades and the launch of the 2027 mannequin. How a lot can it increase the model’s gross sales, and EV gross sales usually in China and globally?
