BYD SEALION 5 DM-i COMFORT – SUPER HYBRID SUV – PLUG-IN HYBRID
MEET THE BYD SEALION 5 DM-i COMFORT – ELECTRIC DRIVING FOR THE EVERYDAY, PETROL FLEXIBILITY FOR THE LONGER JOURNEY
The BYD SEALION 5 DM-i Comfort brings BYD's advanced Super DM-i plug-in hybrid technology into a practical, stylish family SUV.
It is designed for drivers who want to experience the smoothness and refinement of electric driving without giving up the freedom of a petrol engine for longer journeys. Plug in at home, make use of electric power for your everyday driving, and keep the petrol engine available when you need to travel further.
For modern Irish motoring, that flexibility makes a lot of sense.
SUPER DM-i PLUG-IN HYBRID TECHNOLOGY
The SEALION 5 Comfort combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor and BYD Blade Battery technology.
The system produces 156kW of total system power, with the electric motor delivering 145kW and 300Nm of torque. The Comfort is front-wheel drive and uses an automatic transmission, with 0–100km/h taking approximately 7.7 seconds.
The Comfort's 12.96kWh Blade Battery provides up to 62km of WLTP combined pure-electric range, allowing many regular journeys to be completed using electric power.
When the battery needs support, the petrol engine provides the additional flexibility to keep travelling. BYD quotes a combined WLTP range of up to 992km.
That means the SEALION 5 can work particularly well for an Irish driver who commutes during the week but regularly makes longer journeys around the country.
A PROPER FAMILY SUV
The SEALION 5 has been designed around everyday practicality.
It provides seating for five passengers and offers 463 litres of boot space, expanding to 1,410 litres with the rear seats folded.
That gives you plenty of room for the weekly shop, luggage, sports equipment, pushchairs or everything else family life tends to involve.
Its SUV driving position and practical dimensions make it equally at home navigating busy streets in Dublin, Cork, Galway or Limerick as it is heading off for a weekend around Ireland.
SMART, MODERN INTERIOR
Inside, the SEALION 5 has a distinctive BYD cabin with a premium, technology-focused feel.
One of the standout features is the 12.8" rotatable touchscreen, allowing you to orient the display according to your preference. BYD also uses its distinctive crystal gear lever as part of the central control area, giving the cabin a more premium character.
The Comfort specification also features vegan leather seating, providing a durable and easy-to-live-with interior for family use.
The cabin is designed to be comfortable and practical, with thoughtful storage and easy access to the vehicle's main technology and driving functions.
TECHNOLOGY & CONNECTIVITY
The SEALION 5 is packed with technology designed for everyday use.
The central touchscreen provides the main interface for infotainment and vehicle functions, while BYD's connected technology keeps the car feeling modern and up to date.
Depending on the exact market specification, the SEALION 5 range includes features such as:
12.8" Rotatable Touchscreen
BYD Intelligent Voice Control
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
Digital Driver Display
Keyless Entry & Start
NFC Smartphone Key Technology
Rear Parking Sensors
Rear-View Camera
Adaptive Cruise Control
Lane-Keep Assistance
Traffic Sign Recognition
Automatic Emergency Braking
The SEALION 5 also comes with a comprehensive suite of active safety and driver-assistance technology, helping make everyday driving more relaxed and reassuring.
CHARGE AT HOME – KEEP THE PETROL ENGINE FOR LONGER TRIPS
The real advantage of the SEALION 5 DM-i is its flexibility.
For shorter everyday journeys, charge the vehicle and make use of its electric driving capability. For longer journeys, the petrol engine gives you the freedom to keep travelling without depending entirely on public charging infrastructure.
For an Irish driver, that could mean using electric power for the daily commute and school run, while still having the convenience of petrol when heading across the country.
Electric for the everyday. Petrol flexibility when you need it.
The Comfort also supports 3.3kW AC charging, while BYD's V2L technology allows the vehicle to supply power to compatible external equipment, with up to 3.3kW available.
COMFORT OR DESIGN?
The Comfort is the entry specification of the SEALION 5 range, but it still delivers the core Super DM-i technology, distinctive BYD interior and strong standard equipment.
The Design model is also available for customers looking for additional equipment, including the larger 18.3kWh battery, up to 86km of electric range, 360° camera, front parking sensors, electric tailgate, heated front seats and wireless smartphone charging.
