BYD’s first PHEV model in Australia, delivering over 1,000 km of range

BYD Sealion 6 is the company’s fourth model in the Australian market, with a slightly different powertrain to the first three EVs which the company sold tens of thousands of. This mid-sized SUV is powered by the company’s plug-in-hybrid (PHEV) technology that can either be driven as a pure EV or like a normal petrol car.

This model helps BYD push into the mid-size SUV segment, competing with the popular Toyota Rav4 and Mitsubishi Outlanders of the world while providing a very different option at prices not seen in the past. Think of it as a comfortable and tech-focused family SUV designed to offer efficiency, practicality, and modern features in one package.

On the outside, it has a fairly modern styling that is unique to BYD, while on the inside, the Sealion 6 continues BYD's trend of tech-driven design. You'll find a large touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, and a clean, contemporary layout. Space-wise, it's designed to be family-friendly, with plenty of room for passengers and cargo. Overall, the BYD Sealion 6 targets family car buyers who want a modern, affordable, well-equipped, and efficient SUV and aren’t ready to go full EV.
