Comparison: Range (WLTP) BYD Seal U vs. competitors 2025
The range of an electric car, such as this , refers to the maximum distance it can travel on a single charge of its battery. This can vary widely depending on factors such as the size and capacity of the battery (Seal U : 71 kWh), the vehicle's weight ((Seal U : 2020 kg)) and aerodynamics, and the driving conditions.The WLTP range cycle (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure) is a test procedure specifically designed to measure the range and consumption of an electric vehicle. It is done in variety of driving conditions, such as urban, suburban and highway driving , as well as air conditioning and heating usage.This test aims to provide a more realistic estimate of an electric vehicle's range than the previous testing method (NEDC), which was based on a single driving cycle.The longest range you can find amongst similar vehicles has CUPRA Tavascan Endurance (KR ), which is 150km more than the Seal U - 570 km. For illustration, the difference in battery capacity between the BYD and the CUPRA is 11kWh. On the other hand, the shortest range in the "medium SUV" category belongs to Audi Q4 35 e-tron , which is 339 km - that makes it 81km shorter than the BYD in question.
