What we know about BYD coming to Markham
Rollout plan: BYD's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026 to early 2027, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Markham sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros. Ontario is part of the first-wave launch region, which shapes when the Sealion 6 is likely to be orderable locally.
Certification & import status: Before any sale, the BYD Sealion 6 must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). New Chinese-made EVs have also faced a 100% import surtax, which directly affects launch timing and pricing. For the current state of play, read our 2026 Chinese EV tariff guide.
Expected Markham pricing: Estimated at $46,000 CAD with no provincial rebate currently available in Ontario. See the full BYD Sealion 6 price breakdown for Markham.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy the BYD Sealion 6 in Markham right now?
No. As of 2026, the BYD Sealion 6 — like all Chinese-built EVs — is not yet on sale in Canada. BYD sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros, with availability in Markham projected for late 2026 to early 2027. The best way to be first in line is to reserve your spot and get notified the moment Markham availability is confirmed.
When is the BYD Sealion 6 release date in Markham?
Markham falls into the first wave (secondary) of the expected Canadian rollout, with a projected window of late 2026 to early 2027. Timing depends on dealer network buildout, vehicle certification with Transport Canada, and the evolving tariff situation on Chinese-made EVs. Dates are estimates and not yet officially confirmed by BYD.
Can I import a BYD Sealion 6 to Markham myself before launch?
Privately importing a new BYD Sealion 6 into Canada is generally not practical today: the vehicle must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), and new Chinese-made EVs have faced a 100% import surtax. For almost all buyers, waiting for the official BYD Canadian launch is the realistic path. Read our tariff explainer for the latest on the import situation.
How much will the BYD Sealion 6 cost in Markham?
The BYD Sealion 6 is expected to be priced around $46,000 CAD (no provincial rebate currently available in Ontario). Chinese EVs are not eligible for the federal EVAP rebate. See our Markham pricing breakdown for the full estimate.
