Overview

BYD Seal 05 DM-i rear

The Seal 05 DM-i debuted in January 2025. It adopts BYD's fifth-generation plug-in hybrid system.[2][3] Pre-sales for the Seal 05 DM-i started on 7 January 2025,[4] and later launched on 10 February 2025 with three variants.[5]

The exterior of the Seal 05 DM-i adopts the BYD’s Ocean series design concept.[5] The front fascia features wave-shaped LED headlights, a trapezoidal blacked-out grille and U-shaped air inlets. The rear fascia features a full-width LED light bar, ducktail spoiler of a subtle design, and hidden exhaust outlets. Additional exterior features such as a triple camera on the front windshield, rear-facing cameras on the front fenders, and side door mirror cameras.[4][5]

Inside, the interior is decorated in grey and beige colour theme. The dashboard features a D-shaped multi-function steering wheel, a rectangular LCD digital instrument panel and a rotatable touchscreen infotainment system (powered by BYD’s DiLink system). The dashboard features a crystal gear shifter used for e-CVT transmission, dual cupholders, wireless charging pads and a number of physical buttons for important vehicle functions.[5][6]

The Seal 05 DM-i has a boot space of 508 L (17.9 cu ft) and the rear seats can be folded down to maximise boot space.[6]
