Vehicle Overview

The BYD SEALION 6 Essential is a plug-in hybrid SUV designed to combine everyday practicality with the flexibility of electrified driving. Its PHEV powertrain pairs a high-efficiency 1.5L Xiaoyun engine with BYD's Blade Battery technology, giving the vehicle a claimed maximum combined range of 1,092km. That extended overall range is useful for drivers who want to reduce reliance on petrol without giving up the convenience of longer-distance touring.

With front-wheel drive and a maximum power output of 160kW, the Essential is configured as the accessible, efficiency-focused member of the SEALION 6 range. The powertrain is complemented by a 60-litre fuel tank, helping support longer journeys between refuelling stops when the vehicle is used beyond its available electric driving capability. AC charging is rated at 7kW, while DC charging is supported through a CCS 2 connection at up to 18kW.

The exterior is finished in Arctic White and sits on standard 19-inch alloy wheels, giving the SUV a clean, contemporary appearance without relying on optional paint or wheel upgrades. Inside, the selected Black + Brown interior provides a two-tone cabin treatment that adds visual contrast while retaining a restrained, practical feel for daily use.

As a plug-in hybrid SUV, the SEALION 6 Essential is suited to owners who value the ability to charge for regular local travel while retaining an internal-combustion engine for longer trips. The combination of a substantial fuel tank, home-friendly AC charging and DC charging capability gives the vehicle flexibility across different driving routines. Its SUV body style also provides the elevated seating position and adaptable cabin format expected from a modern family-oriented vehicle, although detailed seating and cargo specifications are not provided on this configurator page.
