Chinese automaker BYD has unveiled the production version of its Seal 06 GT electric hatchback. Based on the Ocean M Concept shown at the Beijing Motor Show, the BYD Seal 06 GT retains the overall design of the concept but has toned down some of its more aggressive styling elements.

While the exterior still features the concept’s sleek lines, the production model has more subdued bumpers and lacks the prominent rear wing seen in the concept.

The LED lighting and mirrors have also been simplified. Inside, the Seal 06 GT draws heavily from the BYD Seal sedan, featuring a unique dashboard and climate vent design.

Positioned between the Dolphin and Seal sedan, the Seal 06 GT offers a larger footprint than the VW ID.3 and MG4 but remains smaller than the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6.

Built on BYD’s e-Platform 3.0 Evo architecture, the Seal 06 GT will be available in both single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations.

While BYD hasn’t officially confirmed powertrain specifications, leaked details suggest outputs of 215 horsepower for the single-motor version and 416 horsepower for the dual-motor model.

The Seal 06 GT is expected to launch in China on August 30, with pricing anticipated between ¥150,000 and ¥200,000. BYD is also likely to export the Seal 06 GT to other markets, including Europe and Australia.
