Engine power and kerb weight are registration-weighted averages of the BYD Seal registered in the EU/EEA in 2025 (10,356 cars), engine power from 26 countries, kerb weight from 27 countries. Source: EEA COβ‚‚ monitoring (CC BY 4.0).

Engine power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the power of the combustion engine, not the system power, and for electric cars it can differ from the peak power the manufacturer advertises.

Power by engine variant (Norway)

603 BYD Seal cars registered for the first time in Norway in 2024–2025, by drivetrain and type-approved engine power. The EEA data has no trim names, so variants are told apart by power.

Power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the combustion engine, not the system output; for electric cars it can differ from the peak power in the maker’s marketing. Kerb weight is the average for the variant. Source: EEA COβ‚‚ monitoring (CC BY 4.0), one record per car (the years EEA lists twice, 2019 to 2021, are counted once).
