2024 BYD Sealion 6

BYD is branching into the PHEV space in Australia, with the new Sealion 6 shaping as a sharply-priced rival to the Outlander PHEV.

The first 3000 customers to order the new BYD Sealion 6 will receive a complimentary home charger unit worth $1000.

BYD's local distributor boldly claims the new Sealion 6 PHEV "actually outperforms" market leaders like the RAV4 Hybrid and Outlander PHEV.

BYD’s Australian distributor plans to introduce a rival to Tesla’s Model Y, though mystery surrounds which electric SUV it will bring.

BYD has launched its first plug-in hybrid in Australia – the Sealion 6 SUV. It's priced from $48,990 and comes with a wealth of standard kit.

BYD's local distributor has confirmed the Seal U plug-in hybrid SUV will be named the Sealion 6 when it launches Down Under imminently.

BYD will soon launch its first plug-in hybrid in Australia, a mid-sized SUV to take on rivals from MG and Mitsubishi.

The BYD Seal U DM-i has been officially detailed for Europe ahead of an Australian launch also slated for the second quarter of 2024.

BYD has locked in the Seal U plug-in hybrid SUV for Australia, and it'll be followed by three additional vehicle launches by year's end.

What appears to be a plug-in hybrid version of the BYD Seal U has been spied in Australia. The carmaker hasn't offered a plug-in hybrid vehicle locally to date.

BYD will export its electric Song Plus Champion Edition SUV to Europe as the Seal U. It's unclear whether it will come here, too.
