The 2027 BYD Seal 06 has officially launched in China, marking a significant step in BYD’s strategy to democratize advanced EV technology. With 12 configurations spanning fully electric (EV) and DM-i plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains, the new Seal 06 offers a compelling mix of performance, efficiency, and smart features at highly competitive prices. EV models are priced between 109,900 yuan ($16,100) and 155,900 yuan ($22,900), while DM-i variants range from 99,900 yuan ($14,700) to 141,900 yuan ($20,800). This launch underscores BYD’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology to both domestic and international markets, positioning the Seal 06 as a strong contender in the mid-size sedan segment.
Design and Dimensions: A Refreshed Look
The 2027 Seal 06 features a redesigned front end, highlighted by the "Wave Star River" dual-lens LED headlights and new 3D air ducts integrated into the bumper. These elements not only enhance the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal but also improve aerodynamic efficiency. The side profile is characterized by blacked-out A, B, and C pillars, creating a sleek, floating-roof effect that adds a modern, sporty touch.
In terms of dimensions, the Seal 06 measures 4,870 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and 1,495 mm in height, with a wheelbase that has been extended by 30 mm to 2,820 mm. This increase in wheelbase translates to more interior space, particularly in the rear seating area, enhancing passenger comfort. Exterior color options include Warm Sun White, Polar Tide Green, Cloud Sea Grey, Snowy White, and Atlantis Grey, catering to a variety of tastes.
Cabin and Technology: A Digital-First Cockpit
Inside, the Seal 06 adopts a wrap-around cockpit design that prioritizes driver engagement and passenger comfort. Higher-trim models replace hard plastics with soft leather upholstery, elevating the cabin’s premium feel. The dashboard is dominated by a standard 15.6-inch adaptive rotating central screen, which can switch between portrait and landscape orientations to suit different applications. An 8.8-inch fully digital instrument cluster provides essential driving information, while top-tier models add a 29-inch W-HUD (Head-Up Display) for a three-screen linked experience that keeps critical data in the driver’s line of sight.
The vehicle runs the latest DiLink system, now integrated with the DeepSeek onboard voice large model. This advanced voice assistant supports continuous dialogue and four-zone voice recognition, allowing passengers in different seats to issue commands simultaneously. The traditional gear shifter has been replaced by an electronic column shifter, freeing up space in the center console, which now features a large storage trough, a 50W wireless fast-charging panel, and dual cup holders. These thoughtful touches enhance daily usability and reflect BYD’s attention to detail.
Driver Assistance: LiDAR and God’s Eye 5.0
High-end configurations of the 2027 Seal 06 come equipped with a LiDAR-based system that supports BYD’s "God’s Eye 5.0" advanced driver assistance suite. This system enables both City Navigation Pilot (CNOA) and Highway Navigation Pilot (HNOA), allowing for semi-autonomous driving in urban and highway environments. Parking is simplified through a suite of features including APA (Automatic Parking Assist), AVP (Automated Valet Parking), and RPA (Remote Parking Assist), which can maneuver the vehicle into tight spots with minimal driver input. These capabilities position the Seal 06 as a formidable player in the smart EV segment, offering a level of technology typically found in much more expensive vehicles.
Powertrain and Performance: Flash Charging and Long Range
The BYD Seal 06 EV is offered with two LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery options: 52.868 kWh and 64.315 kWh. These batteries support CLTC ranges of 530 km and 630 km respectively, ensuring ample range for daily commuting and long-distance travel. The upgraded electric motor delivers a maximum power of 240 kW (322 hp), enabling a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 5.9 seconds, making it both efficient and exhilarating to drive.
A standout feature of the EV version is its adoption of second-generation Blade Batteries and an 800V high-voltage platform, which supports flash charging capabilities. This technology allows for ultra-fast charging, significantly reducing downtime on long journeys. For more details on BYD’s battery innovations, see our Blade Battery overview.
The plug-in hybrid Seal 06 DM-i offers two battery packs: 25.287 kWh and 34.275 kWh, paired with a 65-liter fuel tank. The DM-i system utilizes a fifth-generation 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 74 kW, working in tandem with an EHS hybrid transmission. Two front-mounted single-motor options are available: 120 kW (161 hp) or 175 kW (235 hp). Depending on the battery choice, the DM-i version offers pure electric ranges of 230 km or 320 km (CLTC), with a total combined range of up to 2,370 km, making it an ideal choice for those seeking flexibility and long-distance capability without range anxiety.
Chassis and Ride: DiSus-C for Adaptive Damping
Both the EV and DM-i versions of the Seal 06 utilize a MacPherson front suspension and a five-link independent rear suspension, providing a balance of sporty handling and ride comfort. Top-trim models are equipped with the DiSus-C electromagnetic damping control system, which continuously adjusts suspension stiffness in real-time based on road conditions and driving dynamics. This system enhances stability during cornering and smooths out imperfections on rough roads, ensuring a refined driving experience. The ground clearance is set at 135 mm, striking a balance between aerodynamic efficiency and practicality for everyday use.
