According to Tri Thức – Znews, these vehicles are being showcased in preparation for the official launch and upcoming test drive events.
The Sealion 6’s exterior design in Vietnam remains consistent with the model sold in its home market. The front end stands out with a stylized grille, hook-shaped headlights, and deep-set air intakes near the front bumper.

The C-segment SUV is expected to retain its 19-inch wheels, with a MacPherson front suspension and a multi-link rear setup. The wheel design on the test drive model matches the Dynamic trim currently available in China and Thailand.
This front-wheel-drive version is equipped with a hybrid powertrain, combining a 1.5L gasoline engine producing 105 horsepower and an electric motor generating 195 horsepower. The hybrid system is paired with a 18.3 kWh Blade battery pack, offering a maximum all-electric range of 92 km and a combined range of up to 1,092 km.
BYD Vietnam has not yet announced the official launch date or pricing details. According to dealership sources, the PHEV SUV is expected to be offered in two trim levels, with prices ranging from 780 to 880 million VND. BYD dealerships have been taking reservations for the Sealion since late 2024, with deliveries anticipated in the second quarter of this year.
Upon its release, the BYD Sealion 6 will compete with other hybrid C-segment SUVs in the market, including the Haval H6 (priced at 986 million VND), Honda CR-V e:HEV RS (1.259 billion VND), and the Jaecoo J7 PHEV (799-999 million VND).
