The BYD Seal electric sedan outsold the Toyota Camry in Australia for the first time in December 2024.

The Seal's success comes amid declining Camry sales, attributed to high demand for the hybrid model and a wait for the new generation.

BYD reported 412 Seal deliveries in December 2024’s VFACTS industry sales report compared to the Camry’s 387 – the lowest monthly figure recorded for the Camry in 2024.
