Thoughts on the new BYD Seal 06 DM-i Touring Wagon (Estate)? 670L boot + 4.2 L/100km looks spot on!
-
As someone who prefers a sleek low-slung estate/wagon over a tall SUV for loading dogs and road bikes, the 2026 BYD Seal 06 DM-i Touring Wagon has my full attention! Here are the exact measurements and specs from the RHD walkaround:
1. Key Highlights & What Stood Out to Me
Here is our detailed walkaround of the 2026 BYD Seal 06 DM-i Touring Wagon (Estate) arriving in showrooms this quarter:
- Boot Capacity: 670 litres up to the window line (expands to 1,535 litres dead-flat with the 40:60 rear seats folded), plus built-in 220V/230V V2L socket and bag hooks in the boot wall.
- 5th-Gen DM-i Powertrain: 19.0 kWh Blade Battery providing 105 km WLTP pure EV city range and 4.2 L/100km highway consumption.
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. Estate/Wagon vs SUV — Who Else Is Putting a Deposit Down?
With 670 litres of boot space up to the window line (1,535L folded flat), standard V2L in the boot wall, and 1,900 km combined range, how many of you would pick this Touring Wagon over a Sealion 6 or Passat Estate?

670 litres of boot space with a low estate load lip and built-in V2L power socket in the boot wall—absolute perfection for dog owners and cyclists!
@zoew78 4.2 L/100km on the motorway and 105 km pure EV range for the weekday commute beats any old diesel estate hands down.

@Connor_M_Seal Booked a test drive at my local dealer for next weekend—thinking of swapping our old Octavia Estate for this!

Spot on breakdown. One detail I noticed after logging another 2,500 km is that the thermal management loop stays completely silent below 32°C ambient unless you chain two fast DC sessions back-to-back.

For anyone reading this later: make sure you enable SOC calibration by charging to 100% on AC at least once every two to three weeks so the BMS range estimator stays dead accurate.

Subscribed to this thread. Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.

Great real-world data. Having proper owner telemetry instead of brochure claims makes configuring the car so much easier.

Followed this guide step-by-step in the garage this afternoon—took less than 20 minutes and worked first time without any warning lights.

I ran the exact same test last month on a rainy weekend trip. Regen braking in High mode remained super predictable, and the LFP pack voltage delta stayed under 12 mV on my OBD2 scanner.

Spot on regarding cold tyre pressures and regenerative braking calibration—smooths out low-speed town driving immediately.

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Tested these exact settings on my weekend highway run and cabin NVH + efficiency were spot on.
