Here are the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i's 4 subtle shades

BYD Cars Philippines recently expanded its hybrid stable with the introduction of the Sealion 5 DM-i subcompact sport utility vehicle (SUV). 

Not only does it boast technological features the BYD brand is known for in the country, but it also offers would-be owners a gateway to sustainable mobility — without the range anxiety. 

On that note, here are the four subtle shades of the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i, to help those eyeing the nameplate make a better decision on what color to get. These hues also represent some of the vehicle’s notable features, so be sure to give each section a good read. 

Deep Sea Blue 

The first color we’ll check from the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i palette is Deep Sea Blue. The azure tone of the paintwork perfectly captures the eco-friendly nature of the subcompact SUV with its electric vehicle-first approach, using only the 1.5-liter gasoline engine as a generator and its permanent magnet synchronous motor as the main means of propulsion. 

Using electric power alone, the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i can cover a distance of 71 kilometers (km). With the range extender with 52 liters of fuel involved, the range goes up to 1,001 km. 

While topping up fuel is a good way to move around, one can maximize its efficiency by charging the battery. Using a Type 2 standard charging system, its 12.96 kilowatt-hour power pack can be juiced from 15 to 100 percent in just 4.5 hours using an alternating current charging unit. 

It uses the lithium-ion phosphate BYD Blade battery, so buyers can be assured of its safety and reliability. 

Other noteworthy hybrid capabilities offered by the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i are as follows: 

• Regenerative braking 
• Comes with portable charging cable 
• Comes with wall-mounted charger 
• Has vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability 
• With V2L adapter 

Cosmos Black

The subcompact SUV looks both sporty and dashing thanks to its refined grille, flanked by a pair of LED headlamps with automatic on and off technology. Its lower fascia is highlighted by large vents with chrome accents, as well as a robust-looking chin. 

Its side profile gets strong body lines, which are further accentuated by a set of 18-inch wheels wrapped in sporty 225/60 radial tires. It also has blacked-out claddings, two-tone side mirrors, black pillars, and a pair of roof rails. 

Onto the back, the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i packs a roof-mounted spoiler with an integrated brake lamp, decent-sized glass, LED taillamps connected by a horizontal light bar, a hydraulically-assisted manual tailgate, and chunky bumpers that sort of echo the character offered by the vehicle’s front end. 

When it comes to practical luxuries, the newly-released model offers the following: 

• Keyless entry system 
• Push button motor start/stop system 
• NFC card compatibility 
• Follow me home lights 
• Power windows 
• Speed-sensing door locks

Aurora White 

In white, the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i looks clean and friendly, making it an ideal choice for those wanting to use the subcompact SUV as a main ride for ferrying their families.

Harbour Grey 

Grey is a color known for its links to dependability and reliability, also since the color is close to silver — technology. 

In the case of being a dependable and reliable ride, the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i uses a set of disc brakes (ventilated front disc brakes and solid rear disc brakes) to smoothly bring the vehicle to a halt. Further support and comfort is achieved through a MacPherson strut setup at the fore and a multi-link torsion beam arrangement at the rear. 

Tech-wise, those who are looking to drive home the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i can expect staples from the brand such as an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster and a rotating 10.1-inch infotainment unit with Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
