BYD SEALION 6 AWD 2025 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The BYD Sealion 6 AWD is presented as a highly impressive plug-in hybrid SUV, offering significant value for its price point. The reviewer highlights its substantial power and torque increase over the FWD model, attributed to a turbocharged engine and an additional rear electric motor, resulting in a brisk 0-100 km/h time of 5.9 seconds. The real-world EV range and hybrid efficiency are lauded as exceptional, surpassing competitors like the Toyota RAV4 and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. While the reviewer praises the car's overall package, including its extensive standard tech, safety features (5-star ANCAP rating), and long warranty, they note a few drawbacks. The ride quality is described as 'too squishy' on country roads due to soft suspension, and the steering lacks engagement, feeling weighted rather than sporty. Despite these minor criticisms, the reviewer concludes that the AWD version offers compelling performance and features for the money, making it a strong contender and a potential "winner" in the segment, especially for those needing AWD capability.
