“With the new BYD Sealion 6 DM-i, we want to change and challenge the new energy vehicle segment by redefining expectations in the industry,” said Bob Palanca, managing director of BYD Cars Philippines.

The Sealion 6 DM-i rides on the advanced BYD Super DM-i platform designed to deliver a powerful, smooth, quiet, and highly efficient driving experience compared to a conventional HEV.

The innovative platform is range-extended EV system that allows for an impressive total driving distance of more than 1,000 kilometers making it perfect for city commutes or long-distance travel while enjoying fuel savings.

The Sealion 6 DM-i is powered by a permanent synchronous magnet motor paired with an 18.3 kilowatt-hour Lithium Iron Phosphate Ultra-Safe BYD Blade Battery that sends power to the front wheels via E-CVT.

With its powerful battery, the electric SUV produces 197 PS and 325 Nm from its motor and can travel approximately 105 kilometers in full EV mode without any emissions. Together with its range extender, full power output jumps to 217 PS while retaining the same torque figures.

Its electric powertrain accelerates the SUV forward from 0 to 100 kilometers/hour in 8.3 seconds. In extended-range mode, the Sealion 6 DM-i’s total driving distance increases to over 1,000 kilometers, maximizing the EV’s capabilities.

Range anxiety will be a thing of the past with the arrival of the Sealion 6 Dm-i as it demonstrates extreme long-distance driving with a full complement of range extended features that the BYD Super DM-I Technology uniquely delivers.
