BYD Sealion 05 DM-i Specs, Engines & Dimensions (from 2025) — First Generation
The BYD Sealion 05 DM-i arrives as a five-door SUV built around plug-in hybrid technology, pairing everyday electric running with petrol backup. Here is what the first generation offers under the bonnet and across its equipment choices.
The BYD Sealion 05 DM-i engine setup seen in the 1.5 AT is a plug-in hybrid powertrain with automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. In practice the electric motor handles most short trips, while the petrol unit supports longer journeys, so you charge at home and refuel only occasionally.

The BYD Sealion 05 DM-i trim levels sit on top of that technical version rather than changing it. The 1.5 AT is offered in Comfort and Design configurations, which differ in convenience and styling equipment while sharing the same hybrid drivetrain, so your choice affects features rather than performance.
