BYD Sealion 06 sold over 100,000 units in three months and PHEV variant will receive 220 km EV range and ADAS upgrade.

While much of the news this week has been discouraging, recent reports about BYD’s OTA updates have provided something positive to think about. In particular, the OTA updates have focused on BYD’s DM-i 5.0 (5th generation PHEV platform), which started rolling out across models in China last year. Consumers in China are getting more battery-only range and better fuel economy once the battery is depleted than when they bought their vehicles. While some news has been worse than expected, it is good to see something ending up better than expected. That is not only better for consumers, but also better for the CO2 emissions and the environment.

BYD has worked with Shenzhen transportation authorities to launch a mass-production-ready L3 autonomous driving internal tests in its headquarters city.

The Sealion 06 is replacing the discontinued Song Plus -- the only model in BYD's Ocean series named after a Chinese dynasty.

Test drive: BYD Sealion 06 replaces Sealion 6 with an 800V platform, DiSus-C suspension, and upgraded tech across EV and PHEV variants.

BYD’s Song Plus SUV will exit production in China, as the Sealion 06 becomes its designated successor in the Ocean Network.

The milestone comes as Indian Prime Minister revisits China amid hopes for thawing Sino-Indian relations.
