Super Hybrid DM-i powertrain
At the heart of the BYD SEALION 5 DM-i is BYD's acclaimed DM-i plug‑in hybrid system, combining a highly efficient 1.5‑litre petrol engine with an electric motor for smooth, refined performance. The petrol engine achieves a thermal efficiency of 43%, making it one of the most efficient internal‑combustion units in series production today.
Both versions produce 212 PS and can be charged via the 3.3 kW on‑board charger, while Vehicle‑to‑Load (V2L) technology allows owners to power external appliances directly from the car's battery.
Impressive range and efficiency
The BYD SEALION 5 DM-i delivers a full‑tank combined range of up to 631 miles, making it ideal for drivers who want electric‑only capability for the daily commute and the flexibility of petrol for longer journeys. With the Design trim's larger battery offering over 53 miles of pure‑electric driving, most everyday journeys can be completed with zero tailpipe emissions.
