Audi e-tron GT vs BYD SEAL

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Audi e-tron GT has the higher published DC charging figure at 268 kW, which is roughly 79% higher than the BYD SEAL at 150 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Audi e-tron GT is listed at about 19 minutes, which is 17 minutes quicker than the BYD SEAL at 36 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The BYD SEAL has a WLTP rated range of approximately 570 km, which is roughly 83 km more than the Audi e-tron GT at approximately 487 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The BYD SEAL consumes 172 Wh/km, compared to 202 Wh/km for the Audi e-tron GT. That means the BYD SEAL uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The BYD SEAL has approximately 82.5 kWh of useable battery , while the Audi e-tron GT has approximately 83.7 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Audi e-tron GT has the higher published DC figure (up to 268 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 19 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Audi e-tron GT supports up to 11 kW (22 kW optional), compared to up to 11 kW for the BYD SEAL. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the BYD SEAL is the more efficient choice at 172 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the BYD SEAL has a WLTP rated range of approximately 570 km, which is roughly 83 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
