Sealion 5 DM-i is BYD's next plug-in hybrid for PH | Autoindustriya

capable of traveling on pure electric power up to 71 km

Given its size and power, the Sealion 5 DM-i will likely slot below the much bigger Sealion 6 DM-i

The Atto 2 is coming as well. I wonder if they plan to do concurrent launches or separate ones.

You'll be hearing a lot about this car in the coming days as the release date nears (June 20th). Expect a few to be on display in some malls this weekend.

Rumored price is in the ₱1.2M range but it will be less spec'd (almost no ADAS) compared to the other BYD PHEV's in the PH like the Sealion 6 or the Seal 5. The Sealion 5 is aiming to compete with the likes of the Yaris Cross and Hyundai Creta but is bigger and has better performance. The BYD also has a usable EV drive mode (enough for a day in the city).

Personally, I think the base model Atto 3 is a better deal (₱200k discount at some dealerships this month) or the Seal 5 TOTL model (if you're ok with a sedan). The Changan Nevo Q05 PHEV is also a much much better option, but the dealer network is not as vast.

yes. been seeing a lot of photos from BYD FB Groups.

expected to be cheaper than the Sealion 6... pero disappointing kung walang ADAS

I think EV mode has a range of 70+kms. (for our personal use) good for 2 days drive before the car uses gas

Report: BYD to give Sealion 5 PHEV up to 200 km of EV range? | Autoindustriya

Over in the PRC, the Sealion 5 DM-i (also called the Song Pro DM-i) was recently updated and features a revised exterior that now resembles the Atto 3's looks. It now also comes with the “God's Eye” C advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Later this week, BYD will reportedly launch the long-range version of the Sealion 5 DM-i. It will reportedly get a larger battery pack to give it a better electric range of up to 200 km, based on the CLTC cycle. BYD has yet to reveal any kind of specifics, but if the Sealion 5 DM-i does get the bigger battery pack, it could become even more popular with buyers.
