BYD SEALION 6 Hybrid SUV Test Units Arrive in Pakistan

Earlier this June, we informed you that BYD, the world’s leading New Energy Vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, has officially joined the ranks of companies ready to produce electric vehicles (EVs) in Pakistan. Now, just weeks later, we have an exciting update to share with you regarding this development.

BYD SEALION 6 Test Units

BYD (HUBCO) has imported test units of the SEALION 6, a plug-in hybrid SUV. This move suggests that the company is evaluating the vehicle's compatibility with local terrains before a potential market launch. The arrival of these test units has taken the anticipation to a new level.

Expectations Versus Reality

The update was surprising as many expected BYD (HUBCO) to introduce smaller, more affordable electric vehicles such as the Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal, and Tang in Pakistan. However, the introduction of the SEALION 6, a larger plug-in hybrid SUV, adds an unexpected twist to BYD's market strategy.

SEALION 6 Dimensions

The SEALION 6 measures 4775mm in length, 1890mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2765mm. It is available in two variants internationally: the "dynamic" base variant and the "premium" top variant. These dimensions indicate a spacious and robust vehicle suitable for various terrains.

Engine and Power

The dynamic SEALION 6 features a 1.5L 4-cylinder PHEV engine with a single front e-motor, producing 300Nm of torque and 160kW of power. The premium variant includes a turbo PHEV engine with dual e-motors (front and rear), delivering 550Nm of torque and 238kW of power. Both variants are equipped with an 18.3kWh BYD Blade (LFP) battery, ensuring strong performance and efficiency.

Design and Interior

The SEALION 6 boasts an array of stylish exterior features, including LED headlights, daytime running lights, tail lights, and 19-inch alloy wheels. Inside, it offers a 3-inch LCD digital instrument cluster, a 6-inch rotating infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 10-speaker Infinity audio system. The interior design emphasizes comfort and technology, with features such as a synthetic leather-wrapped steering wheel and seats, and a panoramic sunroof.

Comprehensive Safety Features

Safety features are comprehensive, with adaptive cruise control, front collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and seven airbags. Additionally, the premium variant includes advanced features like Mud + Sand driving mode and a head-up display. The SEALION 6 is available in several colors, including Stone Grey and Azure Blue, with prices starting at $48,990 (Rs. 13,620,905) for the dynamic variant and $52,990 (Rs. 14,733,042) for the premium AWD variant.
