BYD Seal Performance

The Performance line represents the top-tier and the most powerful variant of the BYD Seal, featuring the same battery pack as the mid-spec Premium range. The major difference here is the powertrain and its specifications are detailed below:

Battery Pack

82.5 kWh

Electric Motor

Dual

Power

530 PS

Torque

670 Nm

Claimed Range (WLTC)

520 km

Its claimed range drops a little but the performance goes up significantly with the additional front motor. You get another 247 PS of power and an additional 310 Nm of torque with the top-spec BYD Seal.

The Performance variant shares almost the same feature list as the Premium Range trim, with the only additional features being electronic child lock and intelligent torque adaption control (ITAC). 

The ITAC technology monitors wheel rotational speed through sensors, enabling it to predict potential skidding or loss of traction. Subsequently, the system adjusts torque output to prevent the vehicle from losing traction.
