Globally a rival to the Tesla Model 3, the Sealโs 4,800mm length and 2,920mm wheelbase are close to a BMW 3 Series LWB. Ground clearance at 145mm is low and requires caution. Its 0.219 drag coefficient aids range, while the โocean-inspiredโ design features ripple-like LED DRLs, tight wheel arches, 19-inch alloys, and a sleek roofline ending in a stylish rear diffuser. Itโs available in four colours: Atlantis Grey, Aurora White, Cosmos Black and Arctic Blue.
The Sealโs cabin balances sophistication with quality. Leatherette trim, piano black, and metallic accents elevate the experience, while clever storage solutions impress. The standout is the 15.6-inch touchscreen, which rotates between landscape and portrait. Though the AC controls buried in menus frustrate, physical toggles for key functions and intuitive steering controls help.
The ventilated, heated front seats are plush, though lumbar support is lacking. Rear seat comfort is excellent despite a knees-up position. Legroom is vast, headroom generous thanks to a tinted glass roof (now with a powered roller blind for 2025). Boot space is 400 litres, plus a 50-litre frunk, though thereโs no spare tyre.
Three powertrains are offered, ranging from a 204hp RWD to a 530hp AWD. The 313hp Premium tested here feels like the sweet spot and delivers progressive, ICE-like power delivery with sub-6-second 0-100kph runs and three drive modes with adjustable regen.
Ranges vary from 510km for the 61.44kWh Dynamic, to 650km (NEDC) for the 82.5kWh Premium variant, with 150kW DC fast charging available on the larger battery. AC charging tops out at a slow 7kW. The blade-cell LFP battery is integrated into the chassis for added safety and rigidity.
Independent suspension and a stiff chassis rear-drive setup give it a European feel โ firm yet composed. Handling is sharp too and this feels like a true RWD sports sedan. The 2025 variants improve further with DiSus-C suspension on the top variant for enhanced dynamics.
The Sealโs feature list is vast, including a brilliant 360-degree camera, wireless phone integration, an excellent sounding Dynaudio audio system, heads-up display and NFC card key. Safety kit includes 10 airbags, ADAS, parking sensors and driver attention monitoring.
Priced between Rs 41 lakh and Rs 53.15 lakh, with no real rival, it undercuts the Rs 72.50 lakh BMW i4. CBU duties hurt pricing, but for what it offers, the Seal is a tech-laden, attractively priced disruptor. Itโs BYDโs best shot at making a lasting mark in India.

Hi! I currently own a BMW M340i, which is 2 years old. I am considering buying an EV for daily and local commuting. I am looking for good design, a great music system and good battery life. Mahindra is already ruled out, as one of my cousins owns one. So I am considering either BYD or MG. If you could suggest any other ICE cars, that would be fine too. My budget is around Rs 30-40 lakh.
If you are looking for a good EV, the BYD Seal is a great option. It is one of the best electric cars in the Rs. 40 lakh range, offering a lot of tech, equipment, and a spacious interior. Performance, too, is very good, which, being a BMW 340i owner, you will appreciate.
The MG ZS EV is a good car, but it's not in the league of the BYD Seal. If the Seal is beyond your budget, the BYD Atto 3, priced between Rs. 27 and 37 lakh, is the next best option. It is not as spacious as the BYD, but it is well-equipped and has a good range.
Sadly, there are not many good ICE vehicles in that price bracket anymore, but the best option for your money is the Skoda Kodiaq, which ranges from Rs. 47-56 lakh.

Bro, Iโm in love with the new Toyota Camry, but I donโt know if it is the best choice in this budget range. Please tell me which car I should buy in that price bracket.
The Toyota Camry is an excellent sedan that feels spacious and luxurious. Its hybrid powertrain makes it extremely efficient, and its ride comfort is second to none. Even though it doesn't feel sporty to drive, its performance and dynamics are quite impressive. If you like the Camry Hybrid, go for it.
Other sedans that you can consider in the same price point are BYD Seal, BMW 2-Series, Mercedes A-Class and Audi A4. Out of these, the Seal (EV) feels the sportiest, while the Audi A4 is the most rounded.

I have been using a Nexon EV for the past three years and would now like to upgrade to another EV. What would be an ideal replacement below โน50 lakh? We are a family of three, the car will be self-driven, and I prefer something compact.
Check out the Volvo EX30 - it's a compact crossover with a high-tech, luxurious interior and loads of features with a focus on safety. It comes with a large 65kWh battery with a WLTP range of 480km and strong performance from its 272hp single motor setup. Its quirky design is very EV forward and will stand out on the road for looking like nothing else on the market.
The only consideration you have to make is that, being a compact electric car, it's not super spacious in the rear seat. There are other great EVs at this price, but none of them are compact - like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and BYD Seal.

Asked by: Amrit Jamion Dec 29, 2025
I have been using a Honda City for the last 13 years and am now looking to buy a new sedan. Honda has discontinued the Civic, and Skoda has discontinued the Octavia. What would be a good replacement if I do not want to move to BMW or Audi and prefer a car that is comfortable and suited for city driving?
Yes, the sedan market is unfortunately hanging on by a thread, especially at the mass market end of the spectrum. As such, there's not much available between midsize sedans like the Honda City and Volkswagen Virtus, and luxury offerings from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. However, depending on your budget, there are two routes you could go down.
First, the Toyota Camry, which, despite costing close to โน50 lakh, offers excellent value when you look at the overall package. The other is the BYD Seal, which also offers strong value at a similar price point, along with impressive electric performance.
Of the two, the Camry might be better suited to your needs as it's more comfortable and relaxed for city driving, though the Seal is more engaging from behind the wheel.
