Drive More with BYD Super DM-i Technology
At its core, the Sealion 5 DM-i is powered by BYD’s Super DM-i technology—an electric-first system with a high-efficiency generator and Blade Battery.
- Combined power output: 197 PS, 300 Nm torque
- 0–100 km/h in just 8.3 seconds
- 71 km pure electric range (NEDC)

With smooth and silent electric starts, responsive performance, and long-range flexibility, the Sealion 5 DM-i delivers an experience that goes beyond hybrid.
Real-World Efficiency Proven
In a recent 1,400-kilometer efficiency challenge supervised by the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP), racing legends George and Louis Ramirez drove the Sealion 5 DM-i across Luzon on just one full charge and a tank of fuel.
- Efficiency: 25.273 km/liter

For daily drivers, this means real-world savings. The system supports 3.3 kW AC charging, taking around 4.5 hours to go from 15% to full charge. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality also allows you to power appliances and devices on the go.
