Reviews
 
Very impressed with the BYD Sealion 6 so far. The car is surprisingly well insulated and quiet, with wind noise only becoming noticeable when driving above 100 km/h on the NS Highway. Despite some reviews mentioning that the car feels bouncy, I personally find the ride comfortable and well controlled. I believe tyre pressure plays a big part in this, and mine has been perfectly fine.The drivetrain is powerful and more than sufficient for both daily driving and highway use. Fuel efficiency has also exceeded my expectations, with around 19�20 km/L in my driving. Total range can reach around 1,000 km even with harsher driving, or around 1,100 km with more normal driving. For short trips around Singapore, the EV range is also more than sufficient for everyday use.
 
Been driving the SL6 for a good 6months. First impression wise was pretty neutral with not much to nitpick on. Drives feels relatively comfortable and ambience of the cabin feels good. Cabin space is pretty good for a family size of 4-5. Noise insulation of the cabin is also commendable. Consumption of fuel/battery would be decent for the weight/size of this car.Functions of the car seems pretty decent too, nothing too fanciful but safety features are mostly present to aid driversHowever, suspension can feel a little tad floaty/bouncy at low speeds, especially when going through humps.Long term reliability wise is still unknown for SL6
 
I recently purchased a BYD Sealion 6, and overall I am pleased with the vehicle. Most features have been performing well, and I have been satisfied with the driving experience so far.Overall, I am satisfied with the vehicle and appreciate its many strengths. However, I hope BYD will consider improving the durability of the door panels in future models to further enhance the ownership experience.
 
Been having SL 6 for almost 4 months, driven 6,000 including a trip to KL. My previous car was a G01 BMW X3 Xdrive30i, Toyota Harrier Turbo, so been comparing back and forth with those SUVs.I
Verdict
The BYD Sealion 6 marks itself out as quite the capable family hauler. There's plenty of space for all in its cabin, and its 425-litre boot is commendable as well.

Further aiding comfort levels here is the presence of a panoramic sunroof alongside rear air-conditioning vents and some comfortable seats for all, on top of the car's supremely pliant ride. Those at the front, meanwhile, will get to utilise a massive 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen that is intuitive to use.

But what really impresses about the Sealion 6 is its drivetrain. Deploying a total of 215bhp, it ensures that the SUV feels effortless whether you're on the highway or jostling for space in start-stop traffic. And it proved mighty economical when we tested it as well. The fact that it also remains largely quiet and unnoticed during your commute just makes the Sealion 6 all the more convincing.

For its fuel-sipping economy coupled with its generous space for all passengers, the Sealion 6 nets our award for the SUV category this year.
