General information and overview

The BYD Sealion 6 Premium is a mid-size plug-in hybrid SUV tailored for India, slightly smaller than the Mahindra XEV 9e, with AWD via 194hp front and 163hp rear motors plus a 131hp turbo 1.5-litre engine for 324hp total and 550Nm torque, hitting 0-100km/h in 5.5 seconds. It features a 26.6kWh Blade Battery for extended EV range, fast charging up to 18kW DC, and spacious cabin for five with ample boot space for family trips, dual-tone leatherette, heated/ventilated seats, and rear AC vents. Tech highlights include a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 12.3-inch cluster, panoramic sunroof, NFC key, and 10-speaker Infinity audio. Safety comprises seven airbags, full ADAS suite with lane keep, adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring, 360 cameras, and ISOFIX. While ride firmness and numb steering are minor drawbacks, its quiet EV mode, efficiency, and luxury make it perfect for cost-conscious buyers wanting performance and features in one efficient package.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

I find the BYD Sealion 6 Premium a compelling plug-in hybrid SUV that blends impressive power and efficiency with premium features, making it a smart choice for Indian buyers seeking a versatile family vehicle. With its AWD setup delivering 324hp and 550Nm from the turbocharged 1.5-litre engine paired with front and rear electric motors, it accelerates from 0-100km/h in about 5.5 seconds, offering thrilling performance on highways and city roads alike. The spacious interior accommodates a family of five comfortably, with soft-touch materials, a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, 12.3-inch driver display, panoramic sunroof, powered ventilated seats, and a 10-speaker Infinity system creating a luxurious cabin. Safety stands out with seven airbags, Level 2 ADAS including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, 360-degree cameras, and child presence detection. While the ride can feel firm over undulations and steering lacks sharpness, its real-world efficiency—running purely on electric power for initial 70-100km—slashes running costs in India's traffic, and the Blade Battery supports fast charging up to 18kW DC. At debut pricing signals from Auto Expo 2025, it undercuts rivals in value, positioning it as my top pick for those prioritizing tech, range, and hybrid smarts without full EV commitment.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

I’ve been driving the BYD Sealion 6 Premium in India and the update brings tangible improvements that matter on our roads: the Premium’s AWD powertrain delivers brisk performance and confident mid‑lane overtakes while retaining smooth electric-first city behaviour. The revised suspension setup is noticeably firmer and better controlled than earlier Sealion variants, so body roll and the previous “pillowy” feel are reduced on undulating highways and bad urban surfaces. The car’s ADAS package is comprehensive for India‑spec models — adaptive cruise with stop‑and‑go, lane‑keeping, blind‑spot monitoring and 360° cameras — though real‑world lane‑centering can still be twitchy at times on narrow or poorly marked roads. Interior quality and kit are a highlight: powered heated and ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, rotating touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and an Infinity sound option make cabin life premium. Practicality is generally good for the segment, but boot space and manoeuvrability in tight city pockets are less forgiving than smaller SUVs. Overall, the Sealion 6 Premium feels like a more composed, better‑equipped package for buyers in India who prioritise tech and acceleration with usable AWD capability.

Price

Pricing details and changes

In India, the BYD Sealion 6 Premium debuted at Auto Expo 2025 without finalized pricing, but based on global positioning and BYD's strategy with models like the Seal at Rs 41 lakh, I estimate the ex-showroom price around Rs 45-48 lakh for this top AWD PHEV variant, reflecting its premium features and powertrain over the base Dynamic. On-road costs in major cities like Delhi or Mumbai would add 12-15% for registration, road tax, insurance, and green cess for hybrids, pushing it to Rs 52-57 lakh, varying by state—lower in Gujarat or Tamil Nadu with EV incentives that often extend to PHEVs. As someone deeply familiar with India's market, this pricing makes it aggressively competitive against mid-size luxury SUVs like the Harrier or XUV700 top trims, offering superior hybrid tech and AWD at similar money. The value shines through with included luxury like Infinity audio and ADAS, plus lower ownership costs from efficiency, helping buyers justify the premium over ICE rivals; if BYD maintains aggressive pricing post-launch, it could disrupt the segment by delivering Porsche-like features at BMW X5 money, aiding a confident buying decision in a price-sensitive market.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

For daily running I’d treat the Sealion 6 Premium as a plug‑in that will cut fuel bills when used primarily on electric range — real‑world EV range will vary with climate and driving but you can expect meaningful short‑trip electric operation and, on longer trips when the petrol engine runs, combined fuel consumption will be far better than a conventional SUV of similar performance, making total running costs lower if you can regularly charge; if you cannot charge frequently, the advantage diminishes.
