Under the hood

What sets the BYD Sealion 6 apart from other plug-in hybrids is its ability to maximize range while minimizing fuel consumption

Powered by a 1.5-liter engine delivering 215 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque, it uses BYD’s Super DM-i technology, primarily relying on its electric motor instead of the combustion engine

Designed for both urban and long-distance driving, the Sealion 6’s cost-efficient setup ensures drivers can enjoy extended journeys with minimal fuel consumption.
