Built on the the e-Platform 3.0, the BYD SEAL incorporates the CTB (cell-to-body) battery chassis integration technology, iTAC (intelligent torque adaption control) technology, and comes with both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive layouts. The model is equipped with front double-wishbone and rear five-link independent suspension systems.

The roots of BYD's association with Nepal run deep. As early as 2018, the BYD e6 entered the Nepalese presidential fleet, serving as the official vehicle for the President and government officials. In October 2022, BYD formally entered the passenger car market in Nepal, introducing three popular models successively, providing local consumers with a fresh range of passenger car options.

Against the backdrop of Nepal's commitment to promoting electric vehicles, the government is actively encouraging the adoption of electric cars. Leveraging its abundant hydropower resources as a mountainous nation, the country’s power utility plans to construct 500 additional charging stations in major highways and urban areas, facilitating the transition to electric mobility. Fueled by the growing demand for electric vehicles, BYD commits to continuously introducing models tailored to the local market, collaborating with premium local partners to establish a robust sales and after-sales service system.
