The Sealion is BYD's family of SUVs, and it is the brand's main weapon against the Tesla Model Y in markets around the world. The flagship of the international range is the Sealion 7, a sleek electric coupe-SUV with rear- or all-wheel drive, launched in 2024 and sold in Europe, Australia and Asia. Alongside it sit the Sealion 6, a plug-in hybrid SUV based on BYD's popular Song Plus, and the smaller Sealion 5 DM-i, which brings the company's super hybrid technology to a lower price point in markets such as Vietnam.
The names can be confusing, because the same car can be badged differently from one country to the next; in Europe, for instance, the Sealion 6 has been sold as the Seal U DM-i. What unites the family is BYD's formula of Blade batteries, generous equipment and aggressive prices. Reviewers have praised the Sealion 7's comfort, interior quality and pace, while noting its weight and modest handling. The Sealion 5 drew attention when it received a three-star ANCAP rating in Australia, a reminder that safety results vary across BYD's range.
The Sealion 7 competes with the Tesla Model Y, the Kia EV6, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Skoda Enyaq, while the plug-in models take on the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. This page follows launches, reviews, safety ratings, prices and sales figures for every Sealion variant, along with related SUV news from BYD. Because the same car can wear different names in different countries, the coverage here gathers them together so the full picture of BYD's family SUVs is in one place.
BYD's family of SUVs, from the coupe-like electric Sealion 7 to the plug-in hybrid Sealion 6 and 5, aimed straight at the Tesla Model Y.
