How much could you save on the BYD Sealion 6?
Overview
About the BYD Sealion 6
The BYD Sealion 6 is a fastback SUV coupé that prioritizes style without completely sacrificing practicality. The sloping roofline turns heads, while the 520-litre trunk — identical to the boxier Sealion 7 — proves the shape is more than a styling exercise. Dual motors deliver 312 kW (424 hp) and 600 Nm of torque, pushing this 1,930 kg crossover to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. An 87.2 kWh Blade LFP battery provides 440 km of WLTP range, and the LFP chemistry handles daily 100% charges and Canadian winters better than NMC packs — expect roughly 330 km in cold weather. DC fast charging is the weak point: 110 kW means a 30-to-80% fill takes about 36 minutes, noticeably slower than segment leaders. At an estimated $46,000 CAD, the Sealion 6 undercuts the Tesla Model Y by roughly $14,000 but lacks the Supercharger network and federal EVAP rebate eligibility. Like most BYDs on this list, it is not yet confirmed for Canada. The Sealion 6 is for buyers who want a head-turning electric SUV coupé and are willing to trade charging speed for a price advantage and BYD's proven Blade battery technology.
Editorial take
Our Verdict
Strengths
- 424 hp and 4.9 s to 100 km/h in a head-turning fastback shape
- 520 L cargo matches boxier SUVs — style without the usual cargo penalty
- 87.2 kWh Blade LFP: large pack, daily 100% charge, winter-resilient chemistry
Watch Out For
- 110 kW DC charging is slow — 36 minutes for 30-80% trails segment leaders
- Not confirmed for Canada; no federal EVAP rebate eligibility
- Sloping roofline compromises rear headroom and visibility
