The BYD Sealion 5 DM-I broadens the PHEV options in the Chinese maker’s line-up. Jonathan Crouch drives this mid-sized Plug-in Hybrid SUV.

Chinese maker BYD further establishes its growing position in the mid-sized SUV Plug-in Hybrid market with a second potentially more affordable model, the Sealion 5 DM-i. There’s everything here you need from a car of this kind and nothing you don’t – at a cheaper price than you might expect to have to pay.

BYD seems like an unstoppable force. It’s still Britain’s fastest-growing car maker and globally, it now sells more EVs than Tesla. In our market though, with its hesitating electric transition, the bigger BYD emphasis is now on PHEVs, with the Seal U DM-i mid-sized Plug-in Hybrid SUV one of the company’s biggest sellers. Which has encouraged the brand to add in a couple of PHEV products above it – the Seal 6 U DM-i saloon and Tourer estate. And three more below it – the Dolphin G DM-i supermini, the Atto 2 DM-i compact SUV and the car a look at here, the more mid-sized Sealion 5 DM-i.
