BYD SEALION 6

This independent guide outlines purchasing information, specifications, and variant differences for the BYD SEALION 6 in the Australian market. Note that trim names, specifications, and prices reflect a compiled dataset (October 2026) and that BYD Automotive Australia may update variants, so every figure must be confirmed with an authorised BYD dealer or the official BYD Australia website.

The BYD SEALION 6 is a mid-size SUV featuring a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, marketed under the BYD Super Hybrid architecture. It is not a pure EV; it utilises a 1.5-litre petrol engine alongside electric motors and a high-voltage BYD Blade Battery. All details provided below are strictly factual and subject to manufacturer specifications.

Price range in Australia

BYD Automotive Australia does not publish prices on its own model page. The independent automotive site Drive lists the manufacturer’s recommended list price (MRLP) for the BYD SEALION 6, excluding on-road costs, as shown below (listing checked on 4 October 2026).

ModelMRLP range, excluding on-road costsVariants listed
BYD SEALION 6$42,990 to $52,9903

On-road costs such as registration, stamp duty and dealer delivery are not included, so the driveaway price will be higher and differs by state and territory. Drive shows the range across the variants and does not tie each price to a variant, so ask an authorised BYD dealer for the exact price of the variant and options you want. Prices change and are subject to manufacturer specifications and dealer terms, so confirm with BYD Automotive Australia before buying.

Model Variants and Powertrain Layout

The BYD SEALION 6 is offered in four combinations in Australia. Buyers conducting a BYD Sealion 6 Dynamic FWD versus Premium AWD review will note significant differences in the drivetrain layout and battery capacity across the lineup.

The four available variants are:

  • Essential, Standard Range: Front-wheel drive with an 18.3 kWh battery.
  • Dynamic, Extended Range: Front-wheel drive with a 26.6 kWh battery.
  • Premium, Standard Range: All-wheel drive with an 18.3 kWh battery.
  • Premium, Extended Range: All-wheel drive with a 26.6 kWh battery.

The Essential and Dynamic front-wheel drive variants utilise a front permanent magnet synchronous motor producing 145 kW and 300 Nm. This is paired with a Xiaoyun 1.5-litre high-efficiency petrol engine producing 72 kW and 122 Nm, delivering a maximum combined power output of 160 kW. These variants do not have a rear electric motor.

The Premium all-wheel drive variants feature a front permanent magnet synchronous motor producing 150 kW and 300 Nm, combined with a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor generating 120 kW and 250 Nm. The internal combustion component is a Xiaoyun 1.5 Ti high-efficiency turbo-charged engine that produces 96 kW and 220 Nm. This configuration yields a maximum combined power of 238 kW for the Premium Standard Range, and 253 kW for the Premium Extended Range.

All variants feature a 60-litre fuel tank and offer Eco, Normal, and Sport drive modes. Terrain modes include Snow for the Essential and Dynamic models, while the Premium configurations add Mud and Sand modes. Regardless of the variant, observing the BYD Sealion 6 EV mode and HEV mode functionality highlights how the vehicle blends electric propulsion with internal combustion power based on battery state and driving demands.

Dimensions, Weight and Chassis

Across all variants, the vehicle has an overall length of 4,775 mm, a width of 1,890 mm, and a height of 1,670 mm. The wheelbase is 2,765 mm, and the front and rear wheel track both measure 1,630 mm. The minimum turning radius is 5.5 m, and the seating capacity is five occupants. The rear boot space provides a minimum of 425 litres and expands to a maximum of 1,440 litres.

The kerb weight varies by configuration:

  • Essential Standard Range: 1,940 kg
  • Dynamic Extended Range: 1,995 kg
  • Premium Standard Range: 2,100 kg
  • Premium Extended Range: 2,160 kg

Correspondingly, the gross vehicle mass is 2,350 kg, 2,405 kg, 2,510 kg, and 2,570 kg respectively. Towing capacity and ground clearance are not stated in the official brochure; buyers must consult an authorised BYD dealer for these figures before attaching a trailer.

The chassis features MacPherson front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, ventilated front disc brakes with floating calipers, and solid rear disc brakes. All variants are fitted with alloy wheels and 235/50 R19 Giti tyres. Any repairs to the high-voltage system, brakes, steering, airbags, or ADAS calibration must be done by an authorised BYD dealer or qualified technician. High-voltage orange cables must not be touched or opened by owners.

Performance and Efficiency Specifications

Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is officially recorded at 8.5 seconds for the Essential, 8.9 seconds for the Dynamic, 5.9 seconds for the Premium Standard Range, and 5.5 seconds for the Premium Extended Range.

Fuel consumption depends on the battery state of charge (SOC). With a charged battery (SOC 25%-100% for Standard Range, 20%-100% for Extended Range), the combined fuel consumption is 1.1 L/100 km (Essential), 0.8 L/100 km (Dynamic), 1.4 L/100 km (Premium Standard Range), and 1.1 L/100 km (Premium Extended Range). When the battery is low (SOC under 25% or 20%), consumption rises to 4.72 L/100 km, 4.8 L/100 km, 5.8 L/100 km, and 5.5 L/100 km respectively. These are official figures based on ADR 81/02 test results.

The NEDC electric range is 92 km (Essential), 140 km (Dynamic), 81 km (Premium Standard Range), and 128 km (Premium Extended Range). All variants include a Type 2 AC charging port (6.6 kW), a CCS 2 DC charging port (18 kW), a portable charging cable (mode 2), regenerative braking functionality, and a V2L function with a discharge adapter.

Standard Equipment and Trim Differences

Standard safety equipment across the range includes front, side, and curtain airbags, a driver far-side airbag, dual stage pretensioners, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and prevention, and emergency lane keeping assist. Also standard are forward and rear collision warning, traffic sign recognition, blind spot detection, front and rear cross traffic alert and brake, door open warning, trailer stability control, child presence detection, hill hold, auto-hold, ISOFIX anchorage points, and rear parking sensors.

The Essential variant lacks several features found on the other models. It does not include the 360-degree camera, front parking sensors, head-up display, PM2.5 filtration system, dual 15 W wireless phone chargers, heated and ventilated front seats, or a one-touch tailgate. Furthermore, the Essential features a 12.8-inch rotating touch screen and a 6-speaker audio system, whereas the Dynamic and Premium variants upgrade to a 15.6-inch rotating touch screen and a 10-speaker Infinity audio system.

All models feature a 12.3-inch LCD instrumentation panel, wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air (OTA) updates, keyless entry and start, NFC card key, BYD digital key, Bluetooth key, panoramic glass roof, synthetic leather seats, and automatic dual-zone air-conditioning. The exterior is Arctic White as standard, with Stone Grey, Harbour Grey, and Cosmos Black as options. The interior is Black, with Black and Brown available, or a Grey and Blue option exclusively for the Premium Standard Range.

Pricing Information and Driveaway Quotes

Official prices are not published on the official model page or in the manufacturer brochure. As a result, locating a published BYD Sealion 6 price in Australia online is not possible through these official materials, and no arbitrary figures are provided in this guide.

The final cost paid by a consumer relies on the driveaway calculation, which varies by state due to differing government charges, dealer delivery fees, registration costs, and stamp duty. Calculating a BYD Sealion 6 driveaway price for Melbourne, Sydney, or Brisbane will yield different results. To obtain an accurate quotation that includes paint option pricing and excludes specific overheads, prospective buyers must consult an authorised BYD dealer.

Purchasing Options, Ordering and Delivery

BYD vehicles in Australia are sold through BYD Experience Centres and authorised service centres, with Eagers Automotive Limited acting as the national retail partner. The network spans the Australian states and territories. For precise locations, refer to the official find-us page.

Consumers evaluating the BYD Sealion 6 against the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV in Australia can arrange test drives and discuss finance options at these retail locations. Methods of purchase can include standard vehicle finance or a novated lease. Various state and federal EV or PHEV incentives might apply; however, eligibility criteria change periodically, and buyers must confirm with BYD Automotive Australia or their local state authority.

Details regarding BYD Sealion 6 order, delivery, and availability in Australia are managed exclusively by the retail network. Wait times are dependent on the chosen variant, the selected exterior colour, and overarching production schedules.

Warranty Coverage and Maintenance Schedule

The BYD SEALION 6 is covered by a 6-year or 150,000 km new vehicle warranty. The high-voltage traction battery and drive unit (drive motor and drive motor controller) are covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, with a guarantee of at least 70% battery capacity retention. To maintain the battery warranty, owners should keep the battery at 40%-60% charge if the vehicle is unused for more than 7 days, and recharge promptly if it drops to 0%. Fully charging from below 10% via AC charging every three to six months is also recommended.

Scheduled maintenance is required every 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Because the vehicle features an internal combustion engine, an initial run-in service is required at six months or 3,500 km of HEV trip. Locating a complete BYD Sealion 6 capped price servicing schedule for Australia requires direct contact with the service network, as service prices are not published in the standard brochure. For exact fluid specifications and service items, refer to the official owner’s manual.
