BYD SEALION 5 DM-i DESIGN – SUPER HYBRID SUV – PLUG-IN HYBRID – 86KM ELECTRIC RANGE

MEET THE BYD SEALION 5 DM-i DESIGN – ELECTRIC DRIVING, SUV PRACTICALITY AND PETROL FLEXIBILITY

The BYD SEALION 5 DM-i Design brings BYD's advanced Super DM-i plug-in hybrid technology together with the practicality of a spacious family SUV and an impressive level of standard equipment.

Designed for drivers who want the smooth, quiet experience of electric driving without giving up the freedom of a petrol engine, the SEALION 5 DM-i can be charged at home and used as an EV for everyday journeys, while the petrol engine gives you the flexibility to travel much further when required.

For Irish motorists, it offers an especially attractive combination of electric driving for the everyday and petrol flexibility for longer journeys around the country.

DESIGN – THE HIGHER-SPECIFICATION SEALION 5

The Design model features the larger 18.3kWh BYD Blade Battery, providing up to 86km of WLTP combined pure-electric range.

The Super DM-i system produces 156kW of total system power, with the electric motor delivering up to 145kW and 300Nm of torque. The SEALION 5 remains front-wheel drive and accelerates from 0–100km/h in approximately 8.1 seconds. BYD quotes an overall combined WLTP range of up to 1,016km.

That means plenty of everyday journeys can potentially be completed using electric power, while the petrol engine gives you the confidence to take longer trips without relying entirely on Ireland's public charging network.

Plug in at home. Drive electrically during the week. Keep the petrol engine for the longer journey.

DESIGN SPECIFICATION – SERIOUSLY WELL EQUIPPED

The Design specification takes the SEALION 5's equipment to another level.

One of the highlights is the 12.8" high-resolution touchscreen, paired with an 8.8" digital driver display. The infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay and Android smartphone connectivity, while BYD's “Hi BYD” voice control allows you to operate selected functions using your voice.

And there is a genuinely clever touch for everyday driving: three-finger swipes on the central screen can be used to adjust the heating and ventilation, helping keep these functions easy to operate while on the move.

DESIGN MODEL COMFORT & TECHNOLOGY

The Design adds a host of features that make the SEALION 5 particularly appealing as a family SUV:

12.8" High-Resolution Touchscreen
8.8" Digital Instrument Display
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
“Hi BYD” Intelligent Voice Control
NFC Smartphone Key
15W Wireless Smartphone Charging
Electric Tailgate
360° Camera
Front & Rear Parking Sensors
Heated Front Seats
Vegan Leather Interior
Electrically Adjustable Front Seats
Automatic Climate Control
LED Lighting
18" Bi-Colour Alloy Wheels
Rain-Sensing Wipers

The 360° camera is particularly useful in everyday Irish driving, giving you a much clearer view when parking in busy town centres, shopping centres and tighter spaces. The electric tailgate is another feature that makes a genuine difference when loading shopping, luggage or family equipment.

A PROPER FAMILY SUV

The SEALION 5 isn't a small crossover pretending to be an SUV. It offers comfortable seating for five passengers, with generous cabin space and a 463-litre boot, expanding to 1,410 litres with the rear seats folded.

The 40:60 split-folding rear seats make it easy to adapt the cabin when you need to carry larger items, while the SUV driving position gives you a commanding view of the road.

Whether it is the weekly shop, school run, airport trip, sports equipment or luggage for a weekend away around Ireland, the SEALION 5 is designed to handle it.

CLEVER HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

The SEALION 5 DM-i's biggest advantage is its ability to operate predominantly like an electric vehicle while retaining the flexibility of a petrol powertrain.

In EV operation, the electric motor drives the wheels, while in hybrid operation the system intelligently combines the electric motor and petrol engine depending on what is most efficient for the circumstances.

For an Irish driver, that means you can use the 86km electric range for many regular journeys and then simply continue driving using the hybrid system when you need to cover greater distances.

The Design also includes Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), allowing the car's battery to supply up to 3.3kW of power to compatible external equipment.

MADE FOR MODERN IRISH DRIVING

For commuters travelling around Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick or anywhere else in Ireland, the SEALION 5 DM-i Design offers a very practical alternative to a conventional petrol SUV.

Charge at home overnight and make use of electric driving for your everyday journeys, while retaining the reassurance of petrol for longer trips.

It is equally at home in the city, on the motorway or heading off for a weekend around the country.

Electric when you want it. Petrol flexibility when you need it. SUV practicality every day.

DESIGN OR COMFORT?

The Design is the higher-specification SEALION 5 DM-i, bringing the larger 18.3kWh battery and up to 86km electric range, together with features such as the 360° camera, front parking sensors, electric tailgate, heated front seats and wireless smartphone charging.

The Comfort model is also available, using a 12.96kWh battery with up to 62km of WLTP combined electric range, while retaining the same 156kW total system power.
