The BYD SEAL 6 DM-i Saloon is a plug-in hybrid model built around BYD’s Super Hybrid DM-i technology. It uses an EV-first driving approach, allowing daily travel on electric power while retaining the convenience and long-distance capability of a petrol engine. Positioned as a practical and efficient mid-size saloon, it offers strong range, everyday usability, and refined design for drivers seeking a hybrid alternative without compromising space or comfort.
The SEAL 6 DM-i Saloon combines an electric motor and a petrol engine supported by BYD’s LFP Blade battery technology. Depending on the trim level, different battery capacities are available, providing strong electric-only range suited for urban use. The combined petrol-plus-battery range can reach up to 935 miles on the saloon model, enabling long-distance travel with minimal refuelling or charging stops. The EV-first design delivers zero-emissions driving for shorter journeys, with the petrol engine supporting longer trips or high-demand driving conditions.
The SEAL 6 DM-i Saloon features sleek, modern exterior styling that follows BYD’s ocean-inspired design language. Inside, the cabin is spacious, with generous rear legroom and a clean, contemporary interior layout. The saloon body provides a practical 491-litre boot, suitable for everyday use, commuting, family needs, and luggage. Materials, seating and visibility are designed to create a comfortable and refined environment for both driver and passengers.
The model is equipped with a wide range of technology features, including a central touchscreen system with smartphone integration, digital driver display, multiple connectivity options, and an advanced suite of safety and driver-assistance systems. Higher trim levels add larger screen options, additional comfort features such as heated and ventilated seats, upgraded charging capability, and interior enhancements including ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof. Driver-assistance technologies include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and multi-angle parking cameras to support safe, confident driving.
The SEAL 6 DM-i Saloon is available in two trims: Boost and Comfort. The Boost trim provides strong value with its plug-in hybrid system, modern infotainment and essential comfort and safety features. The Comfort trim adds an upgraded battery, larger infotainment display, enhanced charging performance, additional convenience equipment and further interior refinements. UK pricing starts at £33,990 for the Boost model, with the Comfort version priced higher due to the expanded specification.

An advanced driving-assistance system comes standard in the BYD SEAL 6, boosting safety and making every journey more intuitive, all while supporting an easier driving experience.
BYD has been a pioneering name in the battery industry for more than 29 years. Our latest game-changing Blade Battery has passed a series of extreme tests in rigorous conditions making it one of the world's safest batteries.
The BYD SEAL 6 is equipped with the industry-leading BYD e-Platform 3.0, designed exclusively for pure-electric vehicles and engineered for better intelligence, efficiency, safety and aesthetics.
Giving full play to the advantages of intelligence, efficiency, safety and aesthetics, e-Platform 3.0 aims to promote NEVs’ performance in safety and low-temperature driving range as well as improve intelligent driving experiences, to build more efficient and safer new intelligent electric vehicles.
BYD SEAL 6 is equipped with in-house-developed Cell-to-Body (CTB) construction.
The cutting-edge technology integrates the Blade Battery seamlessly into the car's body, forming a strong "sandwich' structure that can increase the torsional stiffness of the vehicle body by 32%. This enhances safety, stability and handling.
With CTB technology, the Blade Battery is more than an energy source. It is also a structural component capable of withstanding significant force.
The unparalleled strength of BYD lies in its comprehensive ownership of the supply chain from idea to build. BYD seamlessly incorporates in every model, including the BYD SEAL 6: the VCU, BMS, MCU, PDU, DC-DC controller, onboard charger, drive motor, and transmission. This innovation has led to the world’s first mass-produced 8-in-1 electric powertrain system. By expertly combining these elements, BYD maximises space utilisation and enhances energy efficiency to offer a groundbreaking electric SUV driving experience.
The BYD SEAL 6 features an advanced energy-saving heat-pump system as standard. Reliably operating in a broad range of temperatures, the system is designed to utilise residual heat from the car’s surroundings, the powertrain, passenger compartment and even the batteries. It enhances the thermal efficiency and reduces energy loss whether heating or cooling. This, in turn, increases the driving range in low temperatures.
