Priced from $48,990 to $52,990 before on-road costs, the Sealion 6 provides up to 92km of claimed NEDC electric range and up to 1100km range in hybrid mode. It is underpinned by BYD's proprietary DM-i technology which enables it to operate in three modes: pure EV, HEV series mode and HEV parallel.

There are two variants to choose from, with a single battery size and two drivetrain configurations:

• Dynamic - front-mounted 145kW/300Nm motor and 72kW/122Nm 1.5-litre four-cylinder ‘Xiaoyun’ petrol engine. Combined output of 160kW/300Nm and an electric range of 92km.
• Premium - dual motor (150kW/300Nm front and 120kW/250Nm rear) and turbo-petrol 1.5-litre ‘Xiaoyun’ engine. Combined output of 238kW/550Nm and an electric range of 81km.

BYD has also confirmed two more vehicles are on the way before the end of 2024, which will likely be the BYD Shark Super Hybrid Ute and the fully electric BYD Sealion 7 SUV.
