Recently, a group of road test spy photos of suspected BYD seal models were exposed on the Internet, if the news is true, the car will become another brand new model of the BYD Marine series, and the new car may be named "SEAL". It is understood that the new car is based on BYD's latest e-platform 3.0, which belongs to the BYD Ocean series with the Dolphin model, positioning pure electric coupe. Combined with previous reports, the new car will be unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show that opens in April as soon as possible, and the price range of the new car is expected to be around 220,000-280,000, and the new car will be directly benchmarked against the Tesla Model 3.
Judging from the exposed spy photos, the current new car body is covered with a large number of camouflage, and it is impossible to see the specific details of the new car, but from the overall outline of the new car, the new car adopts a coupe body design, and the overall appearance outline is more similar to the Ocean-X concept car previously unveiled.
The front face of the new car adopts a closed grille, the front of the car is relatively low, and the light group shape looks more rounded. The new car on the side of the body adopts a slip-on style and uses a hidden door handle design, and the overall shape contour looks very popular. In the rear part of the car, in the exposed spy photo, the tail light shade of the new car has been blackened, and due to the perspective of the picture, it is still impossible to know all the information about the rear shape. In terms of body size, according to the body information exposed earlier, the length, width and height of the new car are 4770/1860/1460mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, specifically, the size of the new car is between Qin PLUSEV and Han EV, positioning the entry-level mid-size coupe, and compared with the benchmark Tesla Model 3, the tesla Model 3 has a length, width and height of 4694/1850/1443mm, a wheelbase of 2875mm, and the new car is slightly ahead of Tesla Model 3.

In terms of competitors, from the information currently revealed, BYD's new model SEAL body size, configuration and power aspects of the positioning are biased towards the young and personalized market, the new car will be listed with tesla Model 3 competition, and the new car data seems to be better than tesla Model 3, but in view of the current new car price and appearance of the new car are not very clear, Perhaps only after BYD announces all the parameters of the new seal can it more accurately locate the final market performance of the car.
