Quick Takeaways
- Two new Seal DM-i variants now offer EV-like daily driving thanks to a much larger Blade Battery.
- BYD is using large-battery PHEVs to close the gap between hybrids and full electric cars.
BYD Seal DM-i Long-Range variants were officially introduced for the Seal 05 and Seal 06 hybrid sedans, expanding BYD’s Ocean-series portfolio. The update mirrors the earlier long-range upgrades made to the Qin lineup and reinforces BYD’s strategy of pushing extended electric driving capability across its core plug-in hybrid models.
The two newly updated vehicles, the Seal 05 DM-i and Seal 06 DM-i, are now positioned to deliver significantly longer electric-only operation. Both sedans are designed to support drivers who want to maximize zero-emission driving without compromising the flexibility of a hybrid powertrain.
BYD Seal DM-i Long-Range Delivers 210 km Electric Range
With the latest update, each BYD Seal DM-i Long-Range model achieves a certified CLTC electric driving range of 210 kilometers. This places the Seal hybrids on par with the recently enhanced Qin DM-i variants and gives BYD one of the longest-range PHEV offerings in its segment.
The extended range makes daily commuting and short-to-medium city driving possible on electric power alone, reducing fuel consumption and operating costs while supporting lower tailpipe emissions.
High-Capacity Blade Battery Powers BYD Seal DM-i Long-Range
The extended electric capability comes from BYD’s proprietary Blade Battery technology. Both Seal DM-i long-range versions are equipped with a 25.28 kWh high-capacity Blade Battery pack, which is twice the size of the batteries used in comparable hybrid variants within the lineup.
This larger battery enables the Seal 05 and Seal 06 to operate like electric vehicles for most daily journeys while still retaining the backup of a combustion engine for longer trips.
Four Large-Battery PHEVs Expand BYD’s Hybrid Portfolio
The Seal DM-i long-range models join the Qin DM-i long-range variants, creating a family of four large-battery plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Together, these models underline BYD’s push toward electrification using scalable battery-electric and hybrid technologies.
By doubling battery capacity compared with standard versions, BYD is narrowing the gap between full electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, offering customers a more practical transition path toward fully electric mobility.
As BYD continues rolling out long-range upgrades across multiple product lines, the BYD Seal DM-i Long-Range series is set to play a central role in delivering longer electric driving, lower fuel dependency, and higher overall efficiency for hybrid sedan buyers.
