The BYD Sealion 6 (2024–present) is a mid-size SUV built on BYD’s fifth-generation Super DM-i plug-in hybrid platform. It pairs a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre Xiaoyun petrol engine with a high-power electric hybrid drive unit, giving a combined output of around 160 kW (215 PS). The system allows pure-electric driving for city commutes and seamless engine assistance for longer trips, with a combined range claimed at over 1,000 km. Inside, the cabin gets a large rotating touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control and a suite of driver-assistance features. The Sealion 6 is available in Bangladesh as brand-new stock through authorised BYD dealers.

BYD Sealion 6 Overview
The BYD Sealion 6 is a mid-size plug-in hybrid SUV aimed at Bangladeshi families and professionals who want SUV space and practicality without the running costs of a traditional petrol SUV. It sits in the same segment as popular reconditioned hybrid crossovers already common on Dhaka roads, but adds a genuine plug-in charging option and a longer electric-only range.
For a first-time hybrid or EV buyer in Bangladesh, it offers a comfortable middle ground: low daily fuel bills when charged regularly, with the reassurance of a petrol engine for longer highway trips where charging infrastructure is thinner outside major cities.
BYD Sealion 6 Features
Standard equipment includes a large central touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 360-degree camera system on higher trims, and BYD’s suite of driver-assistance features such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist.
Higher trims add ventilated seats, a premium sound system and additional ADAS functions, while base trims focus on core comfort and safety equipment as standard.
BYD Sealion 6 Engine
The Sealion 6’s 1.5-litre engine works alongside a dual-motor electric hybrid unit, and the car defaults to electric-only driving whenever the battery has charge, switching to hybrid mode smoothly once depleted. In daily Dhaka traffic this means most short trips can be done on electricity alone.
On the highway, the petrol engine chips in for a refined, torquey feel with none of the CVT drone associated with some rival hybrids, and the transition between electric and combustion power is largely unnoticeable from the driver’s seat.
BYD Sealion 6 Variants
Globally the Sealion 6 is offered with a choice of a smaller and a larger Blade Battery pack, giving a shorter or longer electric-only range, alongside varying levels of equipment such as leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof and additional driver-assistance features on the top trim.
The version offered in Bangladesh is a single, well-equipped trim brought in by the authorised distributor, positioned as a straightforward alternative to imported hybrid SUVs.
Why Buy BYD Sealion 6
-
- Genuine plug-in hybrid with a usable electric-only range for city driving
- Lower running costs than a comparable petrol SUV
- Spacious SUV cabin with modern tech and ADAS features
- Backed by an official distributor with local warranty support
Why Consider Alternatives
-
- Charging infrastructure is still developing outside Dhaka and Chattogram
- BYD's service network in Bangladesh is newer than established Japanese brands
- Higher upfront price than a comparable non-hybrid SUV
- Resale value in the local market is still unproven
