The latest filing from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) reveals an updated BYD Seal 06 GT with single-motor variants offering new 200 kW and 240 kW outputs, alongside an optional roof-mounted LiDAR unit. The 240 kW motor marks a 75 kW increase over the previous top motor.
The filing also lists additional optional equipment, including different mirror housings, fender trim, caliper colors, combination-lamp décor, privacy and non-privacy rear glazing, and a high-mounted brake lamp. A panoramic roof comes standard. The update confirms the use of an LFP battery pack supplied by BYD’s battery subsidiaries in Hefei and Zhengzhou, coupled with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor and an EDR vehicle data recorder. BYD’s IPB(FD) ABS from Fudi Power is included as well.
Design and Features of the BYD Seal 06 GT
The updated BYD Seal 06 GT keeps the model’s current design language following BYD’s Ocean Aesthetic. At the front, it features a closed grille and sharply defined headlamps. The side view shows a sloping profile with sharp character lines and hidden door handles. At the rear, the floating-roof effect and full-width tail light with a double-L pattern remain consistent with the existing model.
Dimensions remain 4630 mm in length, 1880 mm in width, 1490 mm in height, and a 2820 mm wheelbase. These figures match the current hatchback, indicating that platform proportions are unchanged while the motor lineup is upgraded.
For context, the current BYD Seal 06 GT hatchback, built on the e-Platform 3.0 Evo, is available in both RWD and AWD versions. RWD variants use permanent-magnet synchronous motors rated at 160 kW or 165 kW, with 0–100 km/h times of 7.5 seconds. AWD models pair a 110 kW front motor with a 200 kW rear motor for a total system output of 310 kW, reaching 0–100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Battery capacities include 59.52 kWh and 72.96 kWh Blade packs, with CLTC ranges between 505 km and 605 km. The top speed for all variants is 200 km/h.
The new MIIT entry confirms that the updated BYD Seal 06 GT retains the dimensions, exterior design, and panoramic roof of the current model while adding higher-output 200 kW and 240 kW motors and optional LiDAR hardware. The filing does not specify whether the new motors are single- or dual-motor, nor does it list battery capacity or range.
