The BYD Sealion 5 DM-i is slightly smaller than the Sealion 6 and sits in the competitive subcompact crossover segment. With a price tag of P1,248,000, it’s being offered at a friendly cost for those looking to try out electrified driving. It uses a 1.5-liter gasoline engine paired with BYD’s Super DM-i hybrid system, giving a combined output of 194 hp and 300 Nm of torque. It runs on front-wheel drive and can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds.
The 12.96 kWh Blade Battery allows for up to 71 kilometers of pure electric driving based on NEDC. With a full tank and full charge, the total range goes beyond 1,000 kilometers. Charging from 15 to 100 percent takes about 4.5 hours using a standard AC charger. It also has V2L or vehicle-to-load, which lets you plug in small appliances or gadgets when needed.
Officially measuring 4,738 mm long, 1,860 mm wide, and 1,710 mm tall, the Sealion 5 DM-i rides on 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels wrapped in 225/60 tires. The exterior features sharp LED lighting, power-adjustable heated side mirrors with integrated puddle lamps, and silver accents across the front fascia for a more dynamic look.
Inside, the crossover features a mix of leather, fabric, and hard plastics, with a beige and brown cabin color scheme. A 10.1-inch rotating touchscreen infotainment system takes center stage, paired with an 8.8-inch LCD instrument cluster. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB, Bluetooth, and 4G connectivity all come standard. There are six speakers, dual-zone auto climate control, leather seats, and a full set of power features. The front seats are manually adjustable (6-way for the driver and 4-way for the passenger), while the rear seats offer a 60:40 split-fold setup. Cargo capacity ranges from 520 to 1,339 liters.
Safety features include six airbags, a rear camera, cruise control, electronic stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, hill start assist, hill descent control, and tire pressure monitoring. While there are no advanced driver-assist systems like adaptive cruise or lane-keeping assist, the basics are covered for everyday driving.
The BYD Sealion 5 DM-i is currently available in one variant and is priced at P1,248,000. For a limited time, buyers can avail of an introductory price of P1,198,000. Color options include Deep Sea Blue, Cosmos Black, Aurora White, and Harbour Grey. You can view the complete specs and BYD models anytime at AutoDeal.com.ph, and even ask for a quote right away.
