ACMobility, the official distributor of BYD cars in the Philippines, has unveiled the highly anticipated BYD Sealion 6 DM-i, an innovative electric compact SUV equipped with the groundbreaking Super DM-i Technology. This advanced technology empowers the Sealion 6 DM-i to achieve an extended range of over 1,000 kilometers, ensuring a seamless and worry-free driving experience. The new model, priced at Php 1,548,000, is now available in all BYD showrooms nationwide. With its sleek modern styling, best-in-class features, and superior performance, the Sealion 6 DM-i is set to redefine the standards for electric vehicles in the country.
The BYD Sealion 6 DM-i’s standout feature is its Super DM-i platform, designed to deliver a powerful, smooth, and quiet driving experience while maximizing efficiency. The SUV is powered by a permanent synchronous magnet motor paired with an 18.3 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate Ultra-Safe BYD Blade Battery. This combination allows the vehicle to produce 197 PS and 325 Nm of torque, with the ability to travel approximately 105 kilometers in full EV mode. When utilizing the range extender, the total power output increases to 217 PS, providing a total driving distance of over 1,000 kilometers.
Recently, the BYD Sealion 6 demonstrated its impressive range capabilities during a challenging drive around the Luzon Loop. Two units of the electric compact SUV, driven by long-distance driving experts Georges and Louis Ramirez, covered a distance of 1,297.6 kilometers on one full charge and a full tank of its range extender. Despite facing various road and traffic conditions, the vehicles still had battery charge and range extender fuel remaining, eventually reaching a total distance of up to 1,608 kilometers. This remarkable feat underscores the vehicle’s potential for both urban commutes and long-distance travel.
The BYD Sealion 6 DM-i also boasts a bold and sleek exterior design, featuring BYD’s new Ocean X Face design. The SUV measures 4,775 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and 1,670 mm in height, providing a premium presence and expansive interior space while maintaining a compact look ideal for all roads. Its distinctive styling includes a wide front grille, Glistening Combination Headlamps with Double U-shaped Suspension Headlights, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a rear Ocean Starlight-inspired fascia with full-width tail lights. Additional class-leading features include a panoramic sunroof, a power tailgate, and a roof rack.

The interior features leather seats with 8-way driver and 4-way passenger power adjustability, heating and ventilating functions, acoustic window panels, and rear privacy glass. High-end amenities include a 12.3-inch LCD digital instrument cluster, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 10-speaker Infinity Luxury Sound System. The BYD DiLink connectivity system enhances the driving experience with a voice assistant, 4G connectivity, and over-the-air software updates.
