The BYD Seal 07 (Chinese: 比亚迪海豹07; pinyin: Bǐyǎdí Hǎibào 07), previously the BYD Seal DM-i until 2024, is a full-size sedan manufactured by BYD Auto since 2023. It was only available as a plug-in hybrid known as the Seal 07 DM-i until the 2026 model year, when a battery-electric version known as the Seal 07 EV was introduced.

The vehicle was introduced in a prototype form at 2023 Auto Shanghai as the BYD Destroyer 07, and was renamed to the Seal DM-i when it went on sale to integrate it with the Seal series of sedans. Sold through Ocean Network dealerships, the Seal DM-i is positioned in the BYD's range as an alternative to the similar BYD Han, which belongs to Dynasty Network dealerships. It went on sale in September 2023 in China.[6].

Overview

[edit | edit source]

The Seal DM-i was originally called the Destroyer 07 and was planned to be the third product of the Warship Series model line. However, plans were changed in July 2023 just months before launch and the vehicle was launched as the Seal 07 DM-i instead.[7][8][5]

The stylistic design by Wolfgang Egger was maintained in the next generation of aesthetics already known from the electric Seal, distinguished, among others, muscular wheel arches, slim roofline and boomerang-shaped headlights. The rear lamps took the shape of water drops, dominating the band in the composition with a chrome strip.[7] The cabin has a design identical to other models in BYD's Ocean Series product line. The central element of the dashboard is the 15.6-inch touchscreen of the multimedia system.[9][10]

2025 facelift

[edit | edit source]

On 21 August 2025, BYD officially introduced the facelifted Seal 07 DM-i in China, marketed as the BYD Seal 07 DM-i. The facelift brings a slight increase of dimensions, and brings the Seal 07 DM-i more in line with recent BYD Ocean series models, such as redesigned headlights and a grille repositioned to the lower air intake. The integration of a roof-mounted lidar sensor allows for BYD's “God’s Eye-B” (DiPilot 300) intelligent driving assistance system. It carries over the 5th-generation DM-i powertrain from the pre-facelift model.[11]

BYD Seal 07 EV (2026)

[edit | edit source]

For the 2026 model year, the BYD Seal 07 EV was unveiled through China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on December 5, 2025.[12] It shares its body and design with the Seal 07 DM-i, which continues to be sold.

Powertrain

[edit | edit source]

Unlike the BYD Han, the BYD Seal 07 DM-i only uses a front wheel drive instead of both available as a DM-p or DM variant and all-wheel drive for easy turning radius.
