01 / One example: BYD SEAL in Australia

This single Australian example shows how a vehicle record works. Its measurements apply only to the cited Australian versions; choose another country above for that market’s records. Battery and NEDC figures are source-checked. WLTP remains under review because the source contains a discrepancy.

04 / Clarity, by design.

A point in time

We record what a specific page stated on a specific date, and hash the capture. We never present a snapshot as a live feed.

Source wording first

Figures retain the source’s measurement labels and test cycles. The Australian SEAL WLTP claims remain under review; its published battery and NEDC measurements retain their source wording and scope.

Keep the test cycle

WLTP and NEDC are different test cycles. We publish both only when the source does, and we never average or convert between them.

Make uncertainty visible

Fields we have not checked — price, charging — are labelled “Not yet verified”. Missing values remain visible. Any future estimates will be identified separately from reported observations.

Market-specific records

Each vehicle record is scoped to its stated market, configuration and source date. Use the market directory to see current published coverage.

Independence

ChinaEV Global is independent research and is not affiliated with BYD or any manufacturer. Sources are cited so you can check our work.

05 / Market and model coverage — added 2026-10-10

Dated addition record: the pages below were added from independently reviewed source-checked snapshots on 2026-10-10. Earlier sections and the AU SEAL record above are unchanged.

All new pages are source-checked snapshots — not live — and none is a Canonical-admitted record. No prices are published. All published markets are listed in the Markets directory.

More source-checked vehicle specifications

57 additional non-price reference parameters reviewed on 19 October 2026, from existing dated manufacturer brochures. Source captures and historical labels are preserved.

Sources, dates, measurement cycles and qualifications remain attached to every field. Original source versions and measurement qualifications remain attached to each record.
