BYD has also launched an updated Seal 07 DM-i hybrid sedan with upgraded specs and lower overall pricing. The exact details of the upgrades and pricing for the Seal 07 DM-i have not been disclosed yet.
Since its inception, the Tang family has sold over 800,000 units, with the Tang family selling 103,447 units from January to August, accounting for 3.61 percent of BYD's NEV sales during the same period.
