BYD Sealion 6 DM-i

[Verbl Kint]

Sabi sa carguide at sa Top gear ph:

It's CRV tech at Teritory price.

Same car will also be sold in Europe. With 5 star ratings.


OT: Kaya pala may kamukha, copycat ng Cayenne.

In my humble opinion, the DM-i hybrid of BYD is superior to that of Honda's hybrid powertrain. Do note that what we have isn't the latest 5.0 DM-i version just yet (maybe next year?).

We are definitely getting the global release which is 5-star Euro NCAP rated.

Branded in China as the "Song Plus Champion Edition" - this is a facelift of the BYD Song Pro DM-i released in Dec 2022 (which, in turn, was a facelift of an earlier BYD Song variant).


Some quick notes/specs:

• Uses BYD's Blade LiFePO4 batteries - currently the best EV batteries commercially available today
