BYD Sealion 6

BYD Sealion 6

FROM
$42,990

This plug-in hybrid (PHEV) rival to the Mitsubishi Outlander took the Australian market by storm in 2024, snatching the crown of Australia’s best-selling PHEV from the Outlander with a marginal sales lead.

Both models have been fighting it out ever since, with their respective sales practically neck-and-neck. Expect big things forward as Australians increasingly adopt PHEV cars.

The line-up currently starts at $42,990 for the Sealion 6 Essential and ranges through to $52,990 for the range-topping Sealion 6 Premium.
