Illuminating LED headlights

The BYD SEALION 5 is equipped with full-LED headlights to light the road ahead, along with slim LED daytime-running lights. Featuring an automatic on/off function, the headlights intelligently adapt to changing conditions on the road.

Signature LED tail-lights

The full-width LED light bar and sharply angled full-LED tail-lights create a stylish look with an integrated roof spoiler, adding to the SEALION 5’s dynamic design.

Unmistakable body shape

The SEALION 5’s side profile combines a modern silhouette with strong wheelarch shoulders, while the contrasting D-pillar creates a distinctive look for a “floating roof” effect.

18’’ bi-colour alloy wheels

The BYD SEALION 5 comes with striking 18-inch bi-colour wheels. Their design enhances the car’s sporty stance while providing excellent performance and grip.

Everything you need at your fingertips

Drive smoothly and with confidence

The jewel-like gear controls enhance the SEALION 5’s sense of quality, perfect for precision driving.

Notifications without taking your eyes off the road

The 8.8-inch full-LCD instrument cluster displays essential information clearly to the driver - including vehicle speed, battery level and the SEALION 5’s range.

Adjust your cabin with ease

Change the air-conditioning settings with three fingers thanks to the multi-touch 12.8-inch touchscreen. Use the multi-function steering wheel for cruise control and multimedia, for adjustments without taking your hands off the wheel.

Space for everyone to get comfortable

The SEALION 5 comes with ample legroom, with a flat floor so three passengers can sit comfortably. There’s enough room for adults to travel in comfort—even on long journeys.

Sit back and relax with premium comfort seats

Bespoke eco-friendly vegan leather seats provide better wear and stain resistance. The driver’s seat comes with six-way electric adjustment and heating, while the front passenger seat features four-way power adjustment and heating.

Versatile boot space

With a generous 463-litre capacity, the SEALION 5’s boot is more than big enough for suitcases and shopping bags.

More space when you need it

Folding down the 40:60-split rear seat extends the SEALION 5’s boot capacity to 1410 litres. A flat rear floor makes it easy to load heavy and oversized bags and boxes.

BYD Super DM Technology

The driving force behind the all-new SEALION 5 is BYD Super DM Technology.

BYD Super DM (Dual Mode) Technology is what’s inside our plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles. Far from standard, it represents a game-changing evolution in intelligent plug-in hybrid technology. Exclusively developed by BYD, it offers a multitude of benefits, including energy efficiency, low fuel consumption, driving performance, and comfort.

You can easily identify our plug-in hybrid vehicles as they feature DM in their name.  In SEALION 5  with DM-i technology the "i" symbolises intelligence, embodying smart and energy-efficient driving principles.

Three core components of Super DM Technology

  • Electric Hybrid System (EHS)

EV power, 1016km of Super Hybrid range

The BYD SEALION 5 benefits from BYD’s ground-breaking Super Hybrid with DM technology. DM stands for Dual Mode, and the system operates in two distinct ways – as a hybrid car, combining electric power and fuel, and as a fully electric car with up to 86km of pure-electric range thanks to the SEALION 5’s two Blade Batteries.  

The system’s intelligent control (the ‘i’ in DM-i) improves efficiency during hybrid driving, with a combined fuel consumption of as little as 2.1L/100km. The SEALION 5 Super Hybrid’s range is 1016km when fully charged and with a full tank of petrol.
