Product Introduction

The 2026 BYD Sealion 08 DM-i 350KM AWD Flagship is the top plug-in hybrid configuration of BYD Ocean Network's largest SUV, a 5.1-metre mid-large flagship that went on sale on September 2, 2026. Built around BYD's fifth-generation DM plug-in hybrid technology, it brings chassis and driver-assistance hardware that was previously found only on SUVs costing far more, with dual-chamber air suspension and rear-wheel steering fitted as standard across the entire Sealion 08 range. This unit is brand-new factory stock, giving overseas dealers direct access to BYD's most capable family-oriented plug-in hybrid SUV.

The AWD Flagship pairs a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine (115 kW) with front and rear electric motors, delivering a system-combined 400 kW (544 PS) through an E-CVT transmission — substantial output for a vehicle designed around family comfort and long-distance touring. A 55.84 kWh second-generation Blade battery provides a CLTC pure-electric range of 350 km, enough for most owners to handle daily driving on electricity alone, while the hybrid system extends total combined range to as much as 1,650 km on a full tank and full battery, with depleted-battery fuel consumption as low as 4.6 L/100km (NEDC) across the DM-i lineup. At 5,115 mm long with a 3,030 mm wheelbase, the Sealion 08 offers a genuinely spacious cabin, while the standard DiSus-A dual-chamber air suspension and rear-wheel steering deliver a smooth ride on the highway and surprising agility for a vehicle of this size in tight urban spaces.

Every Sealion 08 comes with BYD's God's Eye B driver-assistance system with L2-level highway and urban navigation assist, a 15.6-inch rotating central touchscreen, a panoramic sunroof, and dual-zone automatic climate control — equipment that sets a high baseline even before optional extras. Combined with BYD's well-established global brand presence and a powertrain that removes both charging anxiety and fuel-cost concerns, this large plug-in hybrid SUV for bulk export is particularly well suited to dealers across the Middle East, Central Asia, and Latin America, where buyers want a spacious, prestigious family SUV with long-distance capability and strong value.
