Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Long daily commute (>50 km/day) without range anxiety.

Less suitable for

Regular family use with bulky luggage. The space and boot are sport-calibrated, not utility. A sedan or SUV from the same manufacturer would be more practical daily.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is WLTP range, the Xiaomi SU7 Max AWD (1st with 800 km) takes the lead. If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra AWD (1st with 2.0 s) takes the lead.

Real-world range: 460 km WLTP (9th of 10 in WLTP range)

The Seal 390 AWD offers 460 km of WLTP range. The segment reference is the Xiaomi SU7 Max AWD (800 km).

What is the WLTP range of the Seal 390 AWD?

460 km WLTP announced - making it the 9th of 10 in WLTP range out of 10 models. The reference is the Xiaomi SU7 Max AWD (800 km).

How much does the Seal 390 AWD cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Xiaomi SU7 Max AWD instead?

The Xiaomi SU7 Max AWD leads in WLTP range (800 km vs 460 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Seal 390 AWD vs Xiaomi SU7 Max AWD duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
