Sealion 6 Gets Two Trims

BYD Cars Philippines has introduced two new variants of the Sealion 6 DM-i plug-in hybrid SUV, offering buyers a choice between a more affordable Dynamic version and a better-equipped Premium model with DC fast charging.

The Dynamic is priced at ₱1,548,000, while the Premium carries a suggested retail price of ₱1,798,000.

Both variants use BYD’s Super DM-i hybrid technology and an 18.3-kWh Blade Battery, with a claimed electric-only driving range of up to 100 kilometers and a combined range of up to 1,200 kilometers. Maximum output is rated at 217 PS and 300 Nm of torque.

The Dynamic serves as the entry-level model, equipped with a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, six speakers, a 360-degree camera with four rear sensors, and leather seats. It also has a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, conventional cruise control and six airbags. Charging is through a Type 2 AC connection.

The Premium receives a larger 15.6-inch touchscreen, a 10-speaker Infinity audio system and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. Its 360-degree camera system is supported by six parking sensors.

A key difference is the addition of CCS2 DC fast charging, rated at up to 18 kW. BYD says the Premium can recharge its battery from 30 to 80 percent in approximately 30 minutes.

The Premium also receives BYD’s DiPilot driver-assistance package, which includes emergency lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot detection, rear collision warning and rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking.

BYD Cars Philippines managing director Bob Palanca said the expanded lineup is intended to make the Sealion 6 DM-i more accessible while improving technology, charging convenience and safety.

Both versions are available in Harbor Gray, Arctic White and Delan Black, paired with an all-black interior.

The new variants are being showcased at the Auto Focus Multibrand Test Drive Festival from November 12 to 15, where customers can experience the vehicles.

BYD is also offering a ₱25,000 reservation discount on selected models during the event, excluding the Shark 6, Atto 2 EV and the newly introduced Sealion 6 DM-i variants. The offer is on top of existing regular promotions.
