BYD Seal 06 DM-i, with a wheelbase of 2790mm, delivers a spacious and impressive experience for midsize car enthusiasts. Many buyers are leaning toward Chinese domestic models like the Seal 06 due to its competitive pricing and features. With a price range of 99,800 to 139,800 RMB, the top-tier model is more affordable than many lower-end Japanese or German midsize cars. Its standout feature is a remarkable hybrid system that offers up to 2100 km of range on a full charge and tank.
The Seal 06 adopts an ocean-inspired design, with a bright hood area that reflects light beautifully under the sun. At its center, a bold family English logo adds character. The sleek headlights feature a flat design, incorporating dual L-shaped daytime running lights and full LED high and low beams. These lights offer adaptive functionality, automatic adjustments, height control, and delayed shut-off.
This midsize car provides a robust presence with dimensions of 4830×1875×1495mm. Its 2790mm wheelbase ensures generous cabin space. The side profile follows a dynamic forward-sloping design. The semi-hidden door handles open with an upward pull, making winter operation hassle-free. The 18-inch petal-style wheels on the top model enhance the sporty look, while the slightly sloped roofline adds a sense of motion.
Step inside, and you'll immediately notice the wraparound cabin design. The dashboard and seats feature wave-inspired elements, emphasizing the oceanic theme. The gear shifter, small yet elegant, boasts a crystal-like design that adds a premium touch. Surrounding the shifter, a cluster of physical buttons ensures ease of use and allows for blind operation once familiar.
The top-tier model comes equipped with a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, offering 4G connectivity and app downloads for personalized features. Additionally, the screen supports rotation, showcasing the brand’s distinctive design. The steering wheel, wrapped in thick, premium materials, provides a firm and comfortable grip. It offers manual adjustment for both height and depth. Meanwhile, the 8.8-inch fully digital instrument cluster delivers essential driving information with clarity.
The car features integrated sports seats wrapped in faux leather, combining soft and firm cushioning for long-distance comfort. The front seats offer heating and ventilation, making them ideal for both summer and winter. At 180 cm tall, I found the rear seat spacious, with ample legroom and headroom. The panoramic sunroof, which is fully openable, adds to the cabin's airy and luxurious feel.
