Came across the latest technical details on Owner Discussion: BYD Seal 06 GT & Seal 06 DM-i Touring Wagon Confirmed for Export Markets (UK, Europe & ANZ) — Thoughts & Specs Breakdown and thought I'd start a thread so we can compare notes and see what fellow owners think:
1. Key Highlights & What Stood Out to Me
Great news for hatchback and estate/wagon fans: BYD has confirmed right-hand-drive and European homologation for two highly anticipated models:
- BYD Seal 06 GT (e-Platform 3.0 Evo Hot Hatch): 4,630 mm sporty hatchback available in 160 kW RWD and 310 kW (415 hp) Dual-Motor AWD (0–100 km/h in 4.9s).
- BYD Seal 06 DM-i Touring Wagon (Estate): A sleek mid-size plug-in hybrid estate offering 670 litres of boot space (1,535L seats folded), roof rails, V2L, and 1,900+ km combined touring range!
2. Closer Look at the Specs & Hardware Packaging
Technical Parameter Official BYD Specification & Benchmark Structural Integration Cell-to-Body (CTB) Honeycomb Blade Battery Floor (40,500 Nm/deg) Power Electronics 800V / 1,000V High-Voltage Silicon-Carbide (SiC) Architecture ADAS Sensor Fusion DiPilot 100/300 Tri-Camera + 5x Millimeter-Wave Radars Thermal Management Direct-Refrigerant Heat Pump (-30°C to +45°C Operating Range) 3.

A plug-in hybrid BYD Touring Wagon with 670L boot space, V2L, and < 4.5 L/100km economy is going to sell like hotcakes across the UK, Germany, and New Zealand!

@C_Johnson_NZ And that 310 kW AWD Seal 06 GT hot hatch is basically an electric Golf R competitor on the e-Platform 3.0 Evo architecture.

@LukeTaylor_QLD So glad BYD is still building proper estates/wagons—not everyone wants a tall SUV when loading dogs or road bikes in the back.

Interesting point about the charging curve. I found that plugging in around 15–18% SOC gives the fastest sustained peak kW before the BMS gently tapers above 80%.
