The BYD Sea Lion 6 is a mid-size SUV available in both PHEV (DM-i 5G) and full electric (BEV) configurations — offering 110 km EV-only range in PHEV mode or 520 km in the BEV variant. The Sea Lion 6 represents BYD's Ocean series design language applied to the mid-size SUV segment, with a sporty coupe-SUV silhouette and advanced technology positioned as a premium alternative to the Song Plus.
The BYD Sea Lion 6, launched in 2023, is part of BYD's Ocean series — a design family that includes the Seal sedan and Dolphin hatchback, united by a marine-inspired aesthetic with coupe-like proportions and the Ocean Aesthetics interior design language. The Sea Lion 6 takes this design philosophy into the mid-size SUV segment with a sloping roofline that creates a coupe-SUV silhouette reminiscent of the BMW X4 or Mercedes GLC Coupe, distinguishing it from the more conventional Song Plus.
The Sea Lion 6 is offered in two fundamentally different powertrain configurations: a DM-i 5G PHEV with a 15.0 kWh battery providing 110 km of EV-only range and a 1.5L petrol engine for unlimited range extension; and a full BEV variant with an 87.0 kWh Blade Battery providing 520 km CLTC range. Both configurations use BYD's latest generation technology — the PHEV features the fifth-generation DM-i system with improved efficiency, while the BEV uses the e-Platform 3.0 with up to 390 kW AWD performance.
For Azerbaijani buyers seeking a mid-size SUV with premium coupe-SUV styling, the Sea Lion 6 offers a compelling proposition. The PHEV variant suits buyers who want city electric operation with petrol intercity flexibility, while the BEV is ideal for buyers with reliable home charging who primarily drive in and around Baku. The Sea Lion 6's positioning is above the Song Plus — it targets buyers who want the Ocean series' more premium design expression in a larger, more capable SUV.

The Sea Lion 6 and Song Plus are both mid-size SUVs from BYD with similar powertrain technology (DM-i PHEV and BEV options), but they come from different design families. The Song Plus is from BYD's Dynasty series (conventional SUV design), while the Sea Lion 6 is from the Ocean series with a more premium coupe-SUV silhouette. The Sea Lion 6 is slightly larger, more premium in specification, and typically higher priced. For buyers who prioritise design and premium feel, the Sea Lion 6; for buyers who prioritise value and practicality (conventional SUV proportions and rear headroom), the Song Plus.
The 520 km CLTC range equates to approximately 410–470 km real-world in Azerbaijani conditions — more than sufficient for urban use and most regional travel. Baku to Ganja (375 km) is achievable in a single charge in warm conditions with the RWD variant. The 87.0 kWh Blade Battery's LFP chemistry also provides thermal stability in Baku's hot summer conditions, where NMC batteries may experience more degradation over time.
The choice depends on charging access and driving patterns. If you have home charging and primarily drive in Baku: the BEV RWD offers the cleanest, most economical experience with 520 km range. If you regularly travel intercity without charging infrastructure: the DM-i PHEV provides 110 km of electric urban driving with petrol backup for longer trips. The AWD BEV is only for buyers who genuinely need performance or all-wheel traction — its energy consumption is significantly higher than the RWD.
The Sea Lion 6's sloping roofline does reduce rear headroom compared to a conventional SUV shape — by approximately 20–30 mm versus a standard box-shaped SUV. For most adult passengers under 185 cm, this is not a practical limitation. Taller passengers may notice the sloping headliner. Boot space is also slightly reduced versus a conventional equivalent SUV. Test the rear seat headroom with your tallest regular passengers before committing.
The Sea Lion 6 BEV supports 150 kW DC fast charging — faster than older BYD models (the Han supports 110 kW, the e6 60 kW). At a 150 kW charger, the 87.0 kWh battery charges from 10% to 80% in approximately 35 minutes. This fast-charging capability makes the Sea Lion 6 BEV more practical for intercity travel when charging infrastructure is available. The PHEV does not require fast charging — the 15.0 kWh battery charges fully from a 6.6 kW AC connection in approximately 2.5 hours.
The BYD Sea Lion 6 offers a compelling mid-size SUV proposition for Azerbaijani buyers who want Ocean series design language in a larger, more premium package than the Dolphin or Atto 3. The DM-i PHEV is ideal for buyers who need intercity flexibility alongside urban electric economics; the BEV is for drivers with home charging and primarily Baku-region use. Its positioning above the Song Plus in design and specification comes at a premium — buyers should consider whether the coupe-SUV styling justifies the price difference over the Song Plus DM-i.
