Kia EV6 vs BYD Seal : Electric Cars are really gaining momentum in India and among the two exciting products of 2025 have been considered the Kia EV6 and the freshly launched BYD Seal. These are premium electric vehicles (EVs) that boast advanced technology, high range, and striking designs. But for an investor in electric vehicles, which is the more stylish and powerful variant? Let’s see their comparison.
Kia EV6 raked in various headlines when it launched in India as a sporty electric crossover packed with features. Its ultra-future design with a coupe-like roofline gives it an outstanding road presence. It comes with dual motor (AWD) and single motor (RWD) options. The EV6 offers a range of 528 km (ARAI) and is powered by a 77.4 kWh battery pack. It manages to deliver 320 bhp and 605 Nm to the AWD variant, thus being very sharp and smooth to drive. The EV6 is loaded with features such as a curved dual-screen dashboard, ADAS, 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, and a premium sound system.
Next up is the BYD Seal, which pretty much entered India as the new child into this EV sedan market, throwing its weight around directly against the EV6 in an elegant yet sporty manner. The Seal is even more sleek in shape for aerodynamics and spirited performance under the skin. Claiming between 500-700 km of range, depending on the variant, it comes with an 82.5 kWh battery in the top-spec version, with fast charging capabilities. Under 4 seconds for the 0-100 km/h sprint in performance variant; is sports car territory.
Interior has a rotating touch screen, nice simple cabin, and premium materials. It also has ADAS, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, and other high-end safety features. BYD’s excellent battery technology puts it ahead in efficiency as well as long-distance travel.
Both boulevard beauties are in the pricing range of ₹55-₹65 lakh (ex-showroom), which puts them in the luxury EV buyer segment. With a more established service network in India, Kia has a definite presence in contrast to BYD, which is rapidly increasing its presence.
The Kia EV6 strikes an excellent balance for those wanting a tech-loaded SUV-like EV with sporty handling and brand trust. But, if range, performance, and futuristic-sleek sedan style are your priority; then the BYD Seal presents fantastic value and innovation.
