LFP advantage in heat
Blade LFP is more thermally stable than NCM. Even at 50°C, thermal runaway risk is very low. Major advantage over Tesla or Xiaomi NCM cells.
The Gulf's best-selling EV sedan. Blade LFP battery, 5-star safety, official dealer network, and a competitive price.
The Seal is ideal for buyers who want a reliable EV sedan at a sensible price, backed by a strong Gulf dealer network. The practical family pick.
LFP can be charged to 100% without long-term harm — unlike NCM. Charge to 100% without worry.
400V architecture — slower than 800V but compatible with every Gulf station. Stable charging in heat.
V2L: 3.3 kW — V2L 3.3 kW — power devices, even slow-trickle charge another EV.
