A new BYD electric car will be an affordable rival to the Volkswagen ID.3

The BYD Seal 06 GT is an affordable electric hatchback with an aerodynamic design that will be available in versions with 218 and 422 l. s. Official photos of the model have been released. The C-class electric hatchback will be unveiled in China on August 30, and sales will begin with prices ranging from 150,000 to 200,000 yuan ($21,000–28,000). This was reported by the Carscoops website.

The new BYD Seal 06 GT is the production version of the Ocean M concept, which was unveiled this spring at the Beijing Auto Show. This electric vehicle will compete with the MG4 and offer a more affordable alternative to the Volkswagen ID.3. The model is expected to be sold not only in China but also in Europe and Australia.

The BYD Seal 06 GT electric vehicle is 4,630 mm long and has a wheelbase of 2,820 mm. The hatchback’s design features the brand’s signature streamlined style, with a sloping roof, a pronounced “nose,” and narrow headlights.
Inside the BYD Seal 06 GT, the dashboard features two displays. The front seats are separated by a tall, two-tiered console.

The specifications of the BYD Seal 06 GT are still under wraps. It is known that the Chinese electric car will be offered in a rear-wheel-drive 218-si-khny version and an all-wheel-drive 422-si-khny version, and its range will exceed 500 km.
