<p><img src="https://hawk-oss.hawkinsight.com//picture//202406/1189011241_364.png" style="width: 100%;">BYD likes to keep the media on their toes。Last month, as the production version of the Ocean M concept car shown at the Beijing Auto Show went on sale, we called the car Seal X。As pointed out at the time, we believe that "X" is just a positioning bracket, because the names "Seal 06GT," "Seal MINI," and "Seal 05EV" all appear in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology declaration。Chinese media now call this car Seal 06GT. We have a photo of the car, which has not been camouflaged, but the badge is still covered。-Advertising-The development of Seal 06GT is likely to be largely for export, especially in the European market。SAIC MG4 appears to perform much better in Europe than its Chinese version of Mulan。Allies and BYD likely to have similar fate on Seal 06GT。Nevertheless, sales in China will begin in the third quarter.。As the latest pure electric member of the Ocean series, it uses the new e-platform 3.0 Evo, the platform was first applied to Seal Lion 07。The new e-platform has five key technology clusters, and BYD positions it as safer, more efficient and smarter。-Advertising-According to the list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, we know that Seal 06GT has single-motor and dual-motor versions。For the single-motor version, the power is most likely to come from the 160 kW motor on the rear axle。For the dual-motor version, it not only adds a motor at the front, but also introduces a more powerful motor at the rear, so the maximum available power at the front is 110 kW, and the maximum available power is 200 kW at the rear。Buyers can choose 59.52 kWh and 72.96 kWh battery pack。For the single-motor version, this means a cruising range of 505 or 605 kilometers (CLTC), depending on the size。The dual-motor version is only equipped with a larger battery pack and has a cruising range of 550 kilometers。With a length of 4630 mm, it is a larger hatchback. Other dimensions are width 1880 mm, height 1490 mm, and wheelbase 2820 mm。There are indications that the Seal 06GT will be positioned as an electric hot hatch car, inserted into the marine series, between Dolphin and Seal。Buyers can choose between 18-inch and 19-inch wheels. The rear of the car is equipped with a split roof spoiler similar to Sea Lion 07。-Advertising-From the front, the Seal 06GT is consistent with other members of the Ocean series, such as the Seal with an engraved hood and a lower black grille。There are hidden door handles on the side, and black pillars create the effect of a suspended roof。From a relatively poor interior spy photo, we can see that it is similar to the electric Seal sedan.。The color is mainly light, and the blue nautical theme prevails。There is a floating center screen that will almost certainly rotate, LCD instrument display, integrated sports seat and three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel。Prices should be in the range of 150,000 to 200,000 yuan (US $20,700-27,600) and should start selling in China in the coming months。Exports are unlikely to happen before 2025.。Editor's note: Today announced a 17.How the 4% tariff will affect Seal 06GT's plans remains to be seen。This could make the model a prime candidate for production within the EU。BYD has a plant under construction in Hungary and is expected to start production next year.。Source: Fast Tech</p>
