The smaller 61.44kWh battery powers a 201bhp electric motor mounted on the rear axle, offering a claimed range of 510 km.
The top-tier Seal Performance variant features all-wheel drive, powered by a dual-motor system, producing 523bhp and 670Nm of torque, allowing the sedan to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.8 seconds. It is equipped with a larger 82.56kWh battery, providing a range of up to 580 km. In contrast, the Seal Premium utilises a single motor that drives only the rear wheels, belting out a peak power of 308bhp and 360Nm of torque. However, with the same 82.56 kWh battery, the Premium variant offers a significantly higher range of up to 680 km.
