JAKARTA - BYD, a leading automotive manufacturer from China, as one of the main players in the global electric vehicle industry, continues to show its commitment to expanding a variety of EV products in the future.

After successfully launching Sea Lion 07 which made its debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show 2023 and will enter the market in the first half of 2024, BYD again made a breakthrough by releasing two new SUV models that are still part of the Sea family.

Reporting from Carnewschina, the General Manager of BYD in charge of the Ocean series, Zhang Zhuo, revealed that the two new SUVs, Sea Lion 05 and Sea Lion 06, will soon travel to the market. This step was taken by BYD in response to fierce competition in China's electric vehicle market, which is predicted to continue until 2024.

The year 2023 is the year of price competition between fuel and electric vehicles. In 2024, the price competition between electric vehicles and electric vehicles will be even tighter. The situation may be more intense than the previous year and even enter a decisive battle stage," Zhuo said.

While it has not provided further details about Sea Lion 05 and Sea Lion 06, BYD has revealed that Sea Lion 07 will be using the 3.0 e-platform platform, and the PHEV version with the DM-i powertrain will launch in the near future.

In terms of dimensions, Sea Lion 07 has a length of 4,830 mm, a width of 1,925 mm, a height of 1,620 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,930 mm. This car will feature a Disus-C intelligent body control system dedicated to Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV).

Regarding prices, Sea Lion 07 is priced from 200,000 to 260,000 yuan or around IDR 426 to 566 million, making it a serious competitor to Tesla Model Y in the electric vehicle market.

However, further information about Sea Lion 05 and Sea Lion 06 is still awaiting further disclosure from BYD.
