The BYD Sealion 05 EV, or the plug-in hybrid variant BYD Sealion 05 DM-i (second generation) (Chinese: 比亚迪海狮05 EV; pinyin: Bǐyǎdí Hǎishī 05 EV; literally: 'BYD sea lion 05 EV') is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by BYD Auto since 2025. It is part of the "Sealion" (海狮; Hǎishī) line-up of SUVs under the Ocean Series product line-up that are distributed through Ocean Network dealerships in China.[2][3]

The plug-in hybrid variant of a BYD Sealion 05 EV was unveiled through MIIT filings on January 2026, which is now called the second generation BYD Sealion 05 DM-i, using the same body design as the BYD Sealion 05 EV.[4]

Overview

The Sealion 05 EV was launched in China on 25 March 2025, with three trim levels.[5][6]

The exterior of the Sealion 05 EV features the brand's Ocean Aesthetics design language. It features a minimalistic front fascia design with a small air intake, flushed door handles, black plastic trim on the wheel arches, and a continuous LED taillight bar.[5]

The interior of the Sealion 05 EV features an 8.8-inch LCD instrument cluster, 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and the gear shifter used for the automatic transmission is mounted behind the steering wheel. The centre tunnel has a number of physical buttons, a wireless phone charging pad, a pair of cupholders, additional storage space below the centre console, and a storage box with cooling and heating functions. The boot space stands at 600 L (21 cu ft) and expands to 1,460 L (52 cu ft) with rear seats are folded down. There is a 110 L (3.9 cu ft) frunk storage.[5][6]

For safety, the Sealion 05 EV is equipped with the God's Eye C (DiPilot 100) driving assistance system it is powered by five radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 12 cameras.[6]
