A key part of our design ethos is to preserve the motion and beauty of what we have enjoyed for so many years on ICE cars. And when we talk of the future, this goes beyond new platforms, new architecture choices, innovation in technology, and innovation in design. Our aim is to create an emotional connection, as we have done with the BYD SEAL and SEAL U through a combination of aesthetics, performance and technology.”
