About the BYD Sealion 6
The Sealion 6 is BYD's medium family SUV with coupe-inspired styling and a practical 520L boot. Built on e-Platform 3.0 with an 82.56kWh Blade LFP battery, it delivers 504km of WLTP range and V2L capability. A 5-star ANCAP rating (2024) adds peace of mind, and at $52,990 it positions itself directly below the Tesla Model Y on price.
Key differentiator
Large 82.56kWh Blade battery and V2L at a price under $55K — offering more raw specification than most competitors at this price point.
Who is this for?
Families wanting a spacious, well-equipped electric SUV at a price below the established brands, with V2L as a bonus.
Variant buying guide
The Premium FWD is the only Australian variant. At $52,990 it undercuts the Tesla Model Y RWD while offering a larger battery and V2L. The trade-off is FWD only and 150kW DC charging (vs Tesla's 170kW). If AWD traction or faster charging matters, the Model Y is worth the extra; if you want more car for less money, the Sealion 6 is compelling.
