BYD Sealion DM-i

BYD and Sime Motors, through Vantage Automotive Limited (VAL), are proud to announce the official launch of the BYD SEALION 6 DM-i in Singapore, marking a significant milestone as the brand's first Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) in the local market. With the debut of this eagerly awaited SUV, BYD reaffirms its dedication to providing innovation that caters to the diverse lifestyles of Singaporean drivers.

The BYD SEALION 6 DM-i offers an advanced and inclusive approach to sustainable mobility, emphasizing sustainable innovation by presenting a vehicle that balances full electric driving with flexible hybrid efficiency. This latest model is designed for customers seeking an electric-first experience with the assurance of extended range.

Expanding the Path to Electrification

Having spearheaded Singapore's electric vehicle revolution and securing the status of the country's best-selling car brand in 2024 and continuing into 2025, BYD is now expanding its market by offering a solution that appeals to a broader range of drivers. The BYD SEALION 6 DM-i is not a deviation from BYD's leadership in electric vehicles; rather, it represents a strategic continuation of the brand's electrification journey. “The launch of the BYD SEALION 6 DM-i marks a pivotal moment for BYD in Singapore,” said Mr James Ng, Managing Director of BYD Singapore and Philippines.

“We’ve led Singapore’s electric vehicle transition by offering high-value, fully electric models like the BYD ATTO 3, SEALION 7 and M6 — and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.” “However, we understand that electrification is a journey and that journey looks different for every driver. Some are ready to go fully electric while others still face practical challenges such as charging access or range confidence. The BYD SEALION 6 DM-i is our answer to those needs.”.

It delivers a total system output of 217 kW and 300 Nm of torque. With a fuel consumption rate of just 5.7 L/100 km (WLTC) and a 60L fuel tank, drivers can enjoy an extended range with exceptional efficiency.
