Overview
- Australian Design Rule documents approve the BYD Seal 6 in sedan and Touring wagon forms with four variants, all front‑wheel drive with 750kg braked towing.
- Certified powertrains pair a 70kW 1.5‑litre petrol engine with either a 120kW or 160kW motor for system outputs of 130kW or 163kW, plus 17‑ or 18‑inch wheels depending on variant.
- Batteries listed at 37.5Ah and 54Ah are expected to equate to about 10.1kWh and 19kWh, with European WLTP electric‑only ranges reported at roughly 55–105km for the sedan and 50–100km for the wagon.
- BYD has not confirmed a local sales plan for the Seal 6, though industry reports point to a possible second‑half‑2026 showroom arrival.
- Separately, BYD Australia priced the seven‑seat Sealion 8 PHEV from $56,990 to $70,990 before on‑roads across three grades with up to 152km claimed EV range on AWD models, orders now open and deliveries due before the end of March, while the Sealion 5 DM‑i launched in the UK from £29,995.
