Fuel consumption 2.9-3.8L/100km BYD Seal 06 DM-i, how much does it worth?

 

 

The automotive industry has witnessed a new addition to the compact sedan segment with the introduction of the Seal 06 DM-i. This latest offering from the renowned manufacturer focuses on two key selling points: its size and the cutting-edge fifth-generation DM-i hybrid system. Let's delve deeper into what makes this car stand out.

 

Designed with an ocean-inspired aesthetic, the Seal 06 DM-i has undergone subtle optimizations to better suit its household positioning. This refinement gives the car a more refined and youthful appearance, positioning it not only as a sibling model to the Qin L from Ocean Net but also as a youthful iteration of the popular Seal DM-i.

 

In terms of dimensions, the Seal 06 DM-i boasts a length of 4830mm, a width of 1875mm, and a height of 1495mm, with a wheelbase spanning 2790mm. This compact sedan positioning belies its generous proportions, with its over 4.8-meter length and nearly 2.8-meter wheelbase surpassing many of its joint-venture competitors in the same class.

 

Powering this spacious sedan is a 1.5L hybrid engine capable of generating a maximum power of 74kW. While this figure is slightly lower than the destroyer 05 and Qin PLUS DM-i, the change in engine code suggests that the fifth-generation DM-i hybrid system has undergone significant improvements in terms of engine thermal efficiency.

 

For electric motor options, the Seal 06 DM-i offers two choices. The entry-level version comes with a 120kW single motor, while the high-end variant is equipped with a more powerful 160kW single motor. These motors provide respective pure electric ranges of 60km and 90km, ensuring efficient and environmentally friendly urban commuting. The WLTC feed fuel consumption is impressively low, at just 3.8 liters per 100km, further enhancing the car's appeal for eco-conscious consumers.
 

 

To further enhance the driving experience, the Seal 06 DM-i will be equipped with a hybrid-dedicated chassis featuring CTB technology. This advanced chassis design promises superior handling and stability, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride.

 

With its competitive pricing, advanced hybrid technology, and spacious interior, the Seal 06 DM-i seems poised to make a splash in the compact sedan market. Its introduction also signals the manufacturer's intention to strengthen its presence in the Seal family, which has already garnered significant attention with the successful launch of the Seal DM-i.

 

Official data reveals that since the launch of the Seal DM-i in September, the model has enjoyed robust sales figures, indicating strong consumer demand for the Seal family. With the addition of the Seal 06 DM-i, it remains to be seen whether this momentum will continue, further consolidating the manufacturer's position in the automotive market.
