BYD Sealion 06: A New Mid-Size SUV Offering in China
The BYD Sealion 06, a second-generation mid-size SUV, was officially launched in China in late July 2025. This versatile vehicle is available with both all-electric (EV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain options[1][3].
The Sealion 06 boasts modern technology, strong performance, and spacious dimensions suitable for its segment. Key specifications include a length of approximately 4.81 meters, a width of 1.92 meters, and a height of 1.67 meters, with a wheelbase of 2.82 meters[1][5]. The SUV's weight ranges between about 1.9 and 2.2 tonnes, with specific figures around 1,890 kg reported[1][3].
EV versions of the Sealion 06 feature three configurations: a base rear motor with 170 kW, a single motor variant at 180 kW, and an all-wheel-drive performance version combining dual motors producing a total of 310 kW[1]. The PHEV versions are powered by an engine with a displacement of 1,498 ml and a maximum power of 74 kW[3].
The Sealion 06's battery, based on BYD’s Blade technology, offers ranges up to 610 km under the CLTC test cycle[3]. The top speed is electronically limited to about 217 mph (350 km/h), at least for higher-performance trims[2].
Inside, the Sealion 06 offers a spacious cabin with a 757-liter boot space that expands to 1,630 liters with rear seats folded. A 142-liter front trunk ("frunk") and a large panoramic roof are also included. Ventilated and heated seats, advanced infotainment, and safety systems are standard features[1][3].
Safety-wise, the Sealion 06 is equipped with seven airbags, over 30 safety functions, and BYD’s "God’s Eye" DiPilot 100 intelligent driving system supporting highway navigation-assisted driving (NOA)[3].
The 3 PHEV models of the Sealion 06 are produced at BYD's production base in an unspecified location, while the 3 BEV versions are produced at BYD's production bases in Shaanxi province and Changzhou, Jiangsu province[3].
The Sealion 06 is expected to further enrich BYD's Sealion family, following the launch of the Sealion 05 EV in March this year and the Sealion 05 DM-i, the second model in the Sealion family, which hit the market on September 23, 2024, featuring BYD's latest DM 5.0 hybrid technology[1][3].
