BYD officially introduced the BYD SEAL in Mexico, marking the second ocean-inspired model from BYD in the region since the launch of the BYD DOLPHIN in September.
The BYD SEAL, characterized by its sleek design, accentuates a sporty aesthetic and represents a further evolution of BYD’s ocean aesthetics.
