Performance & Engine of BYD Sealion 5 in Bangladesh

Displacement: 1,498 cc (1.5L)

The Sealion 5 is powered by a 1.5L Xiaoyun high-efficiency engine designed specifically for the DM-i hybrid system. In the Bangladesh market, this allows the vehicle to benefit from the performance of a larger SUV while remaining in a favorable tax bracket for 1.5L engines.

Max Power: 156 kW (Approx. 212 PS)

The combined system output reaches 156 kW. The DM-i system is "electric-based," meaning the high-power motor does most of the heavy lifting, while the engine primarily acts as a generator to charge the battery or provides assistance during high-speed cruising.

Max Torque: 300 Nm

With a peak torque of 300 Nm, the Sealion 5 offers rapid off-the-line acceleration. This high torque is essential for a mid-size SUV to handle the passenger loads and road conditions common in urban Bangladesh.

0-100 km/h time: 7.7 Seconds

The Sealion 5 can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.7 seconds. This performance is notably superior to most traditional gasoline-powered SUVs in its price segment, offering a sporty and responsive driving experience.
