BYD has officially released the first images of its second-generation Seal 07 , a mid-to-large sedan that integrates the brand's latest design language. The new model will be available in both plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and battery electric (BEV) configurations. The second-generation Seal 07 adopts the "Ocean Aesthetics 2.0" design philosophy, aligning its visual identity with the Seal 08. The front fascia features a closed-grille design complemented by wave-shaped split headlights. The vehicle is equipped with a roof-mounted LiDAR, suggesting the inclusion of BYD's "God's Eye B" driver-assistance system. The new model has seen growth in its physical footprint compared to the current generation, resulting in a more spacious cabin. The dimensions are compared in the table below: The side profile is characterised by straight, clean lines, a panoramic sunroof, and semi-hidden door handles. Customers can choose from various wheel designs in 18-inch or 19-inch specifications. The rear design echoes the front, highlighted by a full-width taillight assembly consistent with the Seal 08. According to China EV DataTracker, BYD handed over just 1,005 units of the ongoing Seal 07 (including PHEV and BEV variants) to clients in August 2026. Liu Miao Writer Liu Miao covers NEVs and batteries at CNC to contribute to the energy transition, in spare time he loves driving his EV around.
