The model was introduced in April 2025 at the Auto Shanghai,[4] and later launched on the 7 June 2025 with three variants.[5]
The Seal 06 EV is based on the e-Platform 3.0 Evo platform, shared with the Qin L EV.[6]
The exterior of the Seal 06 EV adopts BYD's Ocean Aesthetics design language. It features a closed front fascia paired with a lower trapezoidal grille, sharp LED headlights, flushed door handles, and a through-type continuous taillight bar with the Chinese knotting pattern. Compared to the plug-in hybrid 06 DM-i, the battery electric 06 EV features the new BYD logo on the boot lid replacing the previous Build Your Dream logo.[6][7]
Inside, the Seal 06 EV features a small LCD instrument panel and a rotatable 15.6-inch touchscreen which is powered by the DiPlink 100 infotainment system. The gear shifter with the BYD inscription on it used for the automatic transmission, is mounted behind the steering wheel. There are a pair of cupholders and two wireless charging pads in the centre console, and 24 storage spaces inside the cabin. The Seal 06 EV has a boot space of 423 L (14.9 cu ft) with the rear seats in place, and a 65 L (2.3 cu ft) frunk storage.[5]
For safety, the Seal 06 EV is equipped with the God's Eye C (DiPilot 100) driving assistance system, it is powered by three cameras mounted on the front windscreen, and there are also cameras added to the front fenders and rear roof spoiler. The system is capable of functions such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) which operates at speeds up to 80 km/h (50 mph), Navigate On Autopilot (NOA) on autonomous parking and highways, and the system will also warn the driver in event of a side collision.[5][7]
