Technology-Driven Innovation: Blade Battery and DM-i Evolution
BYD's second-generation Blade Battery achieves a 28.6% energy density improvement, supporting "megawatt flash charging" technology. In normal temperatures, charging from 10% to 97% takes only 9 minutes, completely eliminating charging anxiety. Even at -30°C, charging time increases by only 3 minutes compared to normal temperatures.
The fifth-generation DM-i super hybrid technology achieves fuel consumption as low as 2.79L/100km in depleted-battery mode, with comprehensive range exceeding 2,110km. This technology has become a crucial pillar of BYD's sales while meeting consumers' dual demands for low fuel consumption and long range.
Product Portfolio: Complete Coverage from Entry to Premium
BYD's product strategy embodies a "technology for all" philosophy. The 2026 Seal 05 DM-i became the industry's first A-class PHEV with pure electric range exceeding 210km, bringing premium configurations to the RMB 120,000 market. The 2026 Seal 06 GT features a 240kW rear motor with 0-100km/h acceleration in just 6.5 seconds, yet disrupts the performance coupe market at the RMB 150,000 price point.
