BYD SEALION 6

The BYD SEALION 6 is a mid-size SUV presented here as a new-car configurator rather than a single in-stock vehicle. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a petrol engine with BYD battery technology, giving the range a useful balance between electric-assisted everyday driving and the flexibility of a conventional fuel tank for longer journeys.

Three grades are available. The Essential uses a 1.5L Xiaoyun engine, produces a maximum 160kW and 300Nm, and is paired with front-wheel drive. The Dynamic Extended also uses a 1.5L Xiaoyun engine and front-wheel drive, while the Premium Extended adopts a 1.5L turbo Xiaoyun engine with maximum outputs of 253kW and 550Nm and an all-wheel-drive layout. This spread allows the SEALION 6 range to cover different priorities, from straightforward family transport to stronger performance and added traction.

Long-distance practicality is a central part of the model's appeal. The page quotes a maximum combined range of 1,092km and a 60-litre fuel tank, while charging support includes 7kW AC charging and 18kW DC charging through a CCS 2 connection. The stated charging equipment gives owners the option of replenishing the battery at home or using compatible public charging infrastructure, without making the vehicle dependent on charging access for every trip.

The SEALION 6 Essential is configured with 19-inch alloy wheels, Arctic White paint and a Black + Brown interior. Other exterior colours include Stone Grey, Harbour Grey and Cosmos Black, while the higher grades are shown with a black interior option. The wheel design remains a 19-inch alloy arrangement across the displayed model choices, providing a consistent visual specification throughout the range.

Performance varies by grade, with the Essential quoted at 0-100km/h in 8.5 seconds, the Dynamic Extended at 8.9 seconds and the Premium Extended at 5.5 seconds. These figures reflect the different powertrain and drivetrain configurations rather than a single specification for every SEALION 6.

As this is a build-and-order page, colour, trim, delivery timing and drive-away costs depend on the configuration and registration circumstances selected. It should therefore be treated as model and specification information rather than as details for one identified vehicle with a stock number, odometer reading or VIN.
