BYD’s upcoming Seal 07 EV has surfaced in filings with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, offering the clearest picture yet of what to expect from the brand’s next all-electric midsize sedan. The documents confirm key details around battery capacity, driving range and power output, while also revealing that the electric version will stay
According to the regulatory data, the Seal 07 EV is fitted with a 69.07 kWh battery pack and is rated for a driving range of 705 km, although the filing does not specify which test cycle was used to arrive at that figure. What is confirmed is that the car runs a single-motor electric setup, marking a clean break from the dual-powertrain approach of the Seal 07 DM-i.
In terms of styling, BYD appears to have taken a conservative route. The electric model carries over much of the design seen on the Seal 07 DM-i, including the slim headlamp units and their familiar lighting signature, as well as flush, hidden door handles. Images submitted as part of the filing also show a lidar sensor mounted on the roof, suggesting the Seal 07 EV will support more advanced driver assistance features.
The rear end follows the same theme, with a full-width taillight bar that mirrors the plug-in hybrid. The main visual cue separating the EV from the DM-i is a dedicated EV badge on the left side of the tailgate. Beyond that, there are no obvious exterior changes highlighted in the documents.
Dimensionally, the Seal 07 EV measures 4,995 mm long, 1,910 mm wide and 1,495 mm tall, riding on a 2,900 mm wheelbase. These figures are almost identical to those of the 2026 Seal 07 DM-i, which shares the same length, height and wheelbase, although the electric version is listed as being 10 mm wider.
Power comes from a single electric motor producing up to 240 kW, paired with the same 69.07 kWh battery pack noted in the filing. This setup aligns with the quoted 705 km driving range and positions the Seal 07 EV squarely in the midsize pure-electric sedan segment.
Overall, the MIIT documents paint the Seal 07 EV as a close relative of the Seal 07 DM-i in size and design, but with a fully electric drivetrain and a notably long claimed range. With these details now public, the electric Seal 07 appears to be moving steadily towards its market debut.
