BYD SEALION 6 2025 UPDATE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The updated BYD Sealion 6, particularly the Premium AWD variant reviewed, presents a compelling package for budget-conscious buyers seeking a plug-in hybrid SUV. The reviewer highlights significant improvements in driving dynamics due to revised suspension, offering a more driver-focused experience compared to its predecessor, though potentially at the cost of some ride comfort. The powertrain, especially the AWD version with 238kW and 550Nm, delivers strong performance and impressive traction. A key strength is the real-world EV driving range, with the reviewer confirming figures close to the claimed 81km for the AWD model (and over 90km for the FWD), making it highly practical for daily commutes. The interior is noted for its thoughtful design and livability, despite the polarizing brown and orange trim option. While the boot space is adequate, the lack of a spare wheel might be a deal-breaker for some. Safety systems are praised for being effective yet unobtrusive. Overall, the Sealion 6 is lauded as an excellent value proposition in the PHEV SUV segment, especially with its competitive pricing and impressive efficiency.
