The second product of the SeaLion IP series from Chinese car manufacturer BYD, the SeaLion 05 DM-i, is officially launched. The new car has released 4 models, the price range is 112,800 - 142,800 RMB. The new car can be seen as a sister product of BYD SONG Pro DM-i. The new car is positioned as a compact plug-in hybrid SUV, incorporating the design concept of "ocean aesthetics" inside and out, and will carry BYD's fifth-generation DM technology. At present, there are no SeaLion models available in China, but given BYD's rate of global market expansion, there is a very good chance that it will expand to the domestic market.

Appearance: Enhanced by ocean aesthetics

The BYD SeaLion 05 DM-i maintains the "ocean aesthetics" design concept, with a full-bodied contour that exudes strength, and incorporates ocean elements in areas such as lights and wheel rims. On to the specific design details, the front of the car has a wide front grille, and the chrome trims on both sides are arranged in a dot matrix style. The new Hui Haifeng headlamp has a robust and simple shape, paired with a smoked black light cavity, showcasing a deep visual effect. The front of the car also has a streamlined gutter design.

The BYD SeaLion 05 DM-i car side is equipped with a smoked black hidden B\C\D column design, combined with a suspended roof, while the metal decor around the windows adds a stylish sense to the whole car. The new car uses a brand-new five-spoke wheel, which looks very dynamic. In terms of body size, the new car measures 4710/1880/1720mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2712mm.

Interior: Ocean Rhythm Cabin

In terms of interior design, BYD SeaLion 05 DM-i continues the "Ocean Aesthetics" design concept, the surround-style Ocean Rhythm Cabin integrates a variety of ocean elements in combination with the dark interior, creating a calm and stable interior atmosphere. The SeaLion 05DM-i features a floating dashboard, equipped with a full LCD dashboard and a self-adaptive 15.6-inch rotating suspension Pad. It features BYD's DiLink smart networking system, and the board under the screen incorporates a wave pattern.

BYD SeaLion 05 DM-i is equipped with the fifth generation of DM hybrid technology, which is centered on a dedicated 1.5L efficient engine, EHS electric hybrid system, and dedicated power blade battery for plug-in hybrid. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 74kW and a maximum torque of 126N·m. The output motor has a maximum power of 120kW and a maximum torque of 210N·m. Under the CLTC cycle, the pure electric cruising range is 75km and 115km, and the highest combined mileage under full electricity and full oil is 1400km.

Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa.

Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?

Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.

Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?

The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?

Why is the Toyota Sienna so popular with so many people?

In Malaysia, most family MPVs choose Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, or Kia Carnival. These models each have their advantages in luxury, space, or brand influence, but models that truly balance large space, multifunctional practicality, fuel efficiency, and reliability are rarely seen.
