Vehicle Overview

The BYD SEALION 8 Dynamic AWD is a plug-in hybrid SUV combining a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with BYD Blade Battery technology and an all-wheel-drive system. The selected configuration uses a 35.6kWh battery and is designed to provide the flexibility of electric driving for suitable journeys while retaining a petrol powertrain for broader touring needs.

With a stated maximum output of 359kW and maximum torque of 675Nm, this is the more powerful all-wheel-drive configuration in the SEALION 8 range. Intelligent decoupling electric four-wheel drive helps manage the delivery of that performance, while DiSus-C intelligent damping suspension is intended to support a composed ride over changing road surfaces. Mud and sand drive modes add a degree of adaptability when travelling beyond sealed roads, although the vehicle remains fundamentally configured as an SUV rather than a dedicated off-road model.

The Dynamic AWD specification is paired with 21-inch alloy wheels and Goodyear 265/45 R21 tyres. Perforated brake discs and fixed calipers at both the front and rear complement the powertrain hardware, providing equipment suited to the vehicle's performance-oriented positioning. A claimed 0-100km/h time of 4.9 seconds is also listed for this variant.

Inside, the selected vehicle has a black interior, while the exterior finish is Aurora White. The SEALION 8's appeal lies in the way its plug-in hybrid layout brings together electric propulsion and long-distance flexibility, with the added traction of all-wheel drive. It is a specification aimed at drivers who want strong straight-line performance and the ability to select different drive modes without moving to a purely electric vehicle.
