BYD unveils expanded 06 series lineup in Shanghai: from wagon to electric sedan

At the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, BYD introduced the Seal 06 DM-i wagon, a new plug-in hybrid estate that expands the company’s Ocean Series lineup. Building on the success of the Seal 06 DM-i sedan—now a top-seller in China with over 220,000 units sold since its May 2024 debut—the wagon variant adds a more practical option to the growing series.

The Seal 06 DM-i wagon retains the family’s “Ocean” aesthetics styling while enhancing versatility with a longer rear section for increased cargo space. It measures 4,850 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width, and 1,505 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,790 mm. Under the hood, it features a 1.5-litre BYD472QC engine producing 74 kW, combined with a 120 kW or 160 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor. A lithium-iron-phosphate battery supplies power, and the vehicle supports external charging.
