BYD, the Chinese automaker, has launched its first-ever all-electric sedan, the Seal, in India at a starting price of Rs. 41 lakh. Within just one day of its launch, the company has recorded over 200 bookings, thanks to its aggressive pricing and innovative technologies. The Seal is set to compete with other luxury sedans like Audi A4, BMW 3-Series Granlimousine, Toyota Camry, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and has the most value-for-money proposition among them with its dual motor AWD layout, 3.8s 0-100 km/h acceleration, and 82.5 kWh battery capacity. However, the emotional factor involved with rival offerings and their brand value could overshadow its technical superiority on paper.
