BYD Prices Seal 6 PHEV Sedan and Wagon for Australia as Orders Open Thursday

Aggressive pricing makes each the cheapest option in its class in Australia.

Overview

  • The Seal 6 lineup, confirmed Tuesday in local reports, opens for orders Thursday, April 9, with showroom arrivals due mid‑2026.
  • Pricing starts at $34,990 plus on‑roads for the Essential sedan and $39,990 for the Touring Premium wagon, undercutting Toyota’s Camry Hybrid and the Skoda Octavia wagon.
  • Australian‑spec powertrains pair a 1.5‑litre petrol engine with a 10.1kWh battery in the sedan and a 19kWh pack in the wagon, delivering 55km and 100km WLTP electric range and more than 1,300km combined range.
  • Government certification lists a 70kW engine with combined outputs of 130kW in the sedan and 163kW in the wagon, confirming the two‑tier setup.
  • Standard kit includes an 8.8‑inch driver display, a 12.8‑inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus active safety aids, while overseas reports of larger DM‑i batteries with longer EV range are not confirmed for Australia.
