SINGAPORE – BYD and Sime Motors, through Vantage Automotive Limited (VAL) proudly announces 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 launch of this highly anticipated SUV, BYD reaffirms its commitment to delivering innovation that adapts to the diverse lifestyles of Singaporean drivers.

Having led Singapore’s EV revolution and achieving the position of the nation’s top-selling car brand in 2024 and to date in 2025, BYD is now broadening its reach by introducing a solution that caters to a wider spectrum of drivers. The BYD SEALION 6 DM-i is not a departure from BYD’s EV leadership — it is a strategic extension 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.”

A Super Hybrid Built for Singapore
The BYD SEALION 6 DM-i is powered by BYD’s proprietary DM-i Super Hybrid system, which combines an 18.3 kWh Blade Battery with a 1.5L high-efficiency petrol engine.

This intelligent hybrid system delivers an electric-first driving experience, offering up to 80 km of pure electric range (WLTC), ideal for most Singaporean commutes while delivering a total system output of 217 kW and 300 Nm of torque. With fuel consumption rated at only 5.7 L/100 km (WLTC) and a 60L fuel tank, drivers can enjoy extended range with remarkable efficiency.

As a front-wheel drive SUV, the BYD SEALION 6 DM-i combines dynamic handling with comfort and confidence on the road. Its smooth drivetrain, responsive acceleration and quiet cabin reinforce BYD’s reputation for innovation and a high-quality drive experience.

Designed for Singapore’s Roads and Drivers
Built for modern families and professionals, the BYD SEALION 6 DM-i offers a smart blend of practicality, comfort, and technology. Key highlights include:

• EV-First Performance: Enjoy silent, zero-emission city driving with electric mode and switch seamlessly to hybrid mode when extended range is needed.
