The first-generation BYD Sealion 05 DM-i was introduced and went on sale in September 2024 alongside the updated BYD Song Pro, a Dynasty Series model. The model is heavily based on the Song Pro sharing the same price and technical specifications. Its styling, which borrows heavily from the BYD Destroyer 05 sedan, was supposed to be adapted by the cancelled BYD Frigate 05 in 2022.[2][3]
The Sealion 05 DM-i is equipped with BYD's fifth-generation plug-in hybrid system marketed as DM-i 5.0.[4]
