This electrified crossover sits in between the very popular Sealion 6 DM-i and the practical and very affordable Seal 5 DM-i sedan, not only giving consumers a choice but also allowing a lot of Filipinos to experience electrified mobility for the first time at a great value.

Units are already in the country, and at the upcoming BYD Tech Tour, visitors can get up close and personal with the car, and also test drive them. In fact, customers can now make reservations for the vehicle starting today at their nearest BYD dealership.

We are staying true to our commitment to deliver exciting vehicles that cater to the varied needs of Filipino audiences,” says Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines Bob Palanca. “Our best-selling BYD Sealion 6 DM-i laid the groundwork for electrified mobility free from range anxiety. Now we are set to introduce the Sealion 5, another DM-i SUV that’s easier to own but is just as rich in value. This new model is the gateway into the world of BYD’s intelligent electric mobility. It’s a smart, stylish, and safe vehicle designed for drivers who expect innovation and everyday usability in one package.
