The 2026 BYD Seal 06 DM-i is a mid-size plug-in hybrid sedan engineered for ride-hailing fleets, corporate leasing, and family transport in global markets. Powered by BYD’s 5th-generation DM-i system, it combines a 1.5L engine with an electric motor and LFP battery, delivering up to 320km CLTC EV range and 2,370km combined range. The model is confirmed for RHD production for the UK market, opening the door for Australian and other RHD market introductions.

Dual 5-Star Safety Certifications: Achieved 5-star ANCAP (2025) with the highest Adult Occupant Protection score of 92% in its release group, plus 90% Child Occupant Protection; also achieved 5-star Euro NCAP (2025) with 92% adult and 90% child protection scores, earning praise for its “excellent” driver assistance systems.
Segment-Leading Range & Efficiency: The 34kWh battery variant delivers 320km CLTC EV range — enough for a full week of urban commuting — while the 2.59L/100km charge-depleting fuel consumption and 2,370km combined range eliminate range anxiety for intercity fleet operations.
Confirmed RHD Production for Global Markets: BYD has confirmed the Seal 06 DM-i will be built in right-hand drive for the UK market, making it a strong candidate for Australia (where it could become the cheapest PHEV on the market at under AUD 40,000) and other RHD regions.
The Seal 06 DM-i holds dual 5-star ratings from both ANCAP (2025) and Euro NCAP (2025) — a rare achievement for a Chinese PHEV sedan. Standard safety equipment includes dual frontal, side chest, side head, and centre airbags, plus AEB (car-to-car, vulnerable road user, junction, backover, head-on), lane keep assist, lane departure warning, emergency lane keeping, and speed sign recognition. Fleet buyers should confirm trim-level ADAS content for specific export specifications.
LHD & RHD confirmed. RHD production confirmed for the UK market, with Australian launch under consideration; the model could undercut the fully-electric Seal by a similar margin to the Sealion 6, positioning it below AUD 40,000. LHD available for Middle East, Latin America, and CIS markets.
Overseas naming: BYD Seal 06 DM-i (global), available as both sedan and Touring wagon body styles.
Domestic guide price (China): RMB 99,800–139,800 (2025 launch pricing); 2027 model year from RMB 99,900–155,900.
