BYD Korea's compact SUV, the Sealion 6 DM-i, completed its notification as an environmental-friendly vehicle on the 24th, with deliveries expected to begin as early as this week.

The BYD Korea Sealion 6 DM-i, which had attracted attention as a cost-effective PHEV, made its debut at the Busan Mobility Show in June but could not proceed with deliveries because it failed to complete the environmental-friendly vehicle notification, leaving it unable to cross the final hurdle.

This model has drawn industry attention not only for incorporating BYD's advanced technology into a PHEV but also for its selling price of around 30 million won. Most importantly, in the PHEV SUV segment where Hyundai Motor Group has maintained a de facto vacuum in the domestic market, BYD has offered a compelling alternative with its highly cost-effective pricing.

Consumers who have experienced the vehicle are praising it as having "typhoon-level value for money" and noting that "there is no need to visit gas stations when using it as a PHEV." The interior of the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i stands out as its best feature. It is far more spacious than expected. A wheelbase of 2,765mm is a representative figure for compact SUVs, serving as proof that at least it will not fail. By adopting compact seats, the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i has created ample knee, headroom, and shoulder space in a practical manner. With a 1.5L gasoline engine paired with an 18.3kWh battery, a full tank of fuel allows for an easy journey of up to 1,000 km.

According to a BYD Korea official, "BYD aims to introduce the various electrification technologies it has accumulated and the new mobility experiences built on them to more domestic consumers." The official added, "BYD Korea will continue to strive to expand the domestic environmental-friendly vehicle market and create an environment where consumers can choose electrified vehicles that suit their lifestyles."
