BYD SEALION 6 Essential. Originally planned for a late Q1 launch, this speculated variant will now debut in Australia in March 2024.
This early release responds to surging demand from fleet operators and electric vehicle enthusiasts alike, with orders opening from Monday, 20 January.
Following the remarkable success of the launch in May 2024, which quickly cemented its position as the best-selling model in the BYD range – and Australia’s number one plug-in hybrid vehicle in 2024 – the SEALION 6 Essential is set to redefine exceptional value in the new energy market. Priced at a competitive $42,990 (plus on-road costs), this latest variant offers Australian drivers the perfect combination of affordability, innovation, and sustainability.
EVDirect CEO David Smitherman says, “This represents our commitment to providing accessible and high-quality new energy vehicle solutions to Australian customers. This vehicle not only broadens our range but also underpins our mission to deliver
- premium features,
- advanced technology,
- and superior performance at a competitive price point.”
Designed to appeal to a wider audience of Australian drivers seeking innovative and sustainable alternatives. The SEALION 6 Essential maintains the hallmark qualities that have made the SEALION 6 a standout. Including advanced safety features, cutting-edge technology, and an eco-friendly driving experience.
World-leading Blade Battery technology BYD SEALION 6 Essential.
As is standard for the entire Essentials range – which also includes the DOLPHIN and ATTO 3 Essentials. The BYD SEALION 6 Essential will still carry the brand’s world-leading Blade Battery technology. Which continues to set the benchmark for battery safety and longevity.
For the SEALION 6 Essential this means the same 18.3kWh battery, with a pure electric driving range of 80km. Complemented by a 1.5L plug-in hybrid engine. Its combined range of more than 1000km ensuring range anxiety is a thing of the past. All the 5-star ANCAP safety features have also been retained.
Smitherman continued, “We’re delivering on our commitment to simplify the transition to new energy vehicles. Notably with our fleet customers providing more options supporting them in meeting their sustainability targets.”
