Design-wise, the wagon inherits BYD’s Ocean Aesthetics, sharing the sedan’s slim headlights and sporty front bumper. The most notable evolution is at the rear, where dual waistlines stretch from the front to the back, and a hidden D-pillar is paired with a practical rear spoiler.

The Seal 06 DM-i Wagon will be offered in four exterior colors: Warm Smoky Tea, Atlantis Gray, Snowfield White, and Deep Sea Green.

Inside, all trims come standard with a built-in car fridge capable of both cooling and warming. Other notable features include a column-mounted shifter, heated and ventilated front seats, a 15.6-inch floating central screen, and a large panoramic sunroof—offering a balance of practicality and comfort.

The Seal 06 DM-i Wagon, as a key new product within BYD’s Ocean lineup, incorporates the brand’s cutting-edge technologies. Powered by BYD’s fifth-generation DM system, it combines a 1.5L engine producing 74 kW with electric motors available in 120 kW and 160 kW variants, delivering a total range of up to 2,000 km. All models come standard with the “God’s Eye C” intelligent driver-assistance system powered by the DiPilot 100 system, while higher trims are equipped with the advanced DiSus-C system.

The Seal 06 DM-i Wagon fills BYD’s previous gap in the hybrid wagon segment. As camping culture and family road trips grow in popularity in China, practical and fuel-efficient wagons are poised for market opportunities. Whether the Seal 06 DM-i Wagon can break through the segment’s pricing barriers and achieve both popularity and strong sales remains to be seen.
