Recently, SEAL 06 DM-i and SEA LION 07EV were officially launched in Chongqing. One is positioned as a plug-in hybrid mid-size car, and the other is positioned as a pure electric mid-size SUV. The two can be regarded as twin models. Today we will analyze the highlights of these two cars.

Let's first talk about the more familiar SEAL 06DM-i. This car is a new energy sedan launched by BYD Ocean Network. It is a brother model of BYD Dynasty Network's Qin L. The biggest highlight is that it is equipped with the fifth-generation DM technology, which brings consumers the optimal solution of long battery life and low fuel consumption. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as 2.9L, and the maximum battery life reaches 2,100 kilometers. The actual test experience can also obtain more surprising data, completely getting rid of the anxiety of charging and battery life. The low fuel consumption also saves a lot of car costs.

 

The second highlight is that the five configurations of the SEAL 06DM-i are priced from only   yuan, taking on the burden of lower electricity than oil. Looking at the entire mid-sized car market, although the position of joint venture fuel vehicles is still stable, this is the result of their price reduction and stable volume. Consumers have lower and lower tolerance for them. Now the Haibao 06DM-i is coming strongly, which undoubtedly gives consumers a more cost-effective choice.

The SEAL 06DM-i is not only cheaper than joint venture fuel vehicles, but also has a better driving experience. It is equipped with the fifth-generation DM plug-in hybrid technology consisting of a 74kW 1.5L engine + electric motor, matched with the world's first-class lithium iron phosphate blade battery. The high-end version uses a 15.874kWh battery, with a pure electric range of 120 kilometers, which is enough for daily commuting and work. It is also equipped with 23kW DC fast charging and 6.6kW AC slow charging, which is better than most competing models of the same level and price.

 

Next, let's talk about the Sea Lion 07EV. As a pure electric vehicle, its use scenario is limited by the range. The car provides two power options: single motor and dual motor. The low-power version and high-power version of the single motor are 170 kW and 230 kW respectively, and the combined power of the dual-motor four-wheel drive is 390 kW. There are four configuration models in total, priced at 189,800-239,800 yuan. The pure electric range is 550km and 610km, which can meet the needs of weekday commuting and weekend city tours.

If you don't have long-distance needs, then the Sea Lion 07EV is still quite attractive. First of all, its wheelbase reaches 2930 mm, which has a leapfrog advantage compared with its peers. The rear space is excellent, and the panoramic large skylight is matched with dark sunshades, which not only takes into account the home attributes, but also meets the consumer's demand for comfort.

 

Secondly, the Sea Lion 07EV is built on the new generation e3.0 platform Evo, integrating a number of advanced technologies, including FSD variable damping suspension, Yunnian-C intelligent body damping control system, DiPilot 100 high-level intelligent driving system, full-domain 800V silicon carbide high-voltage platform, etc., providing better controllability and comfort, and greatly improving intelligent driving and charging efficiency;

Finally, the appearance of the Sea Lion 07EV is also remarkable. It adopts BYD's ocean network family design, with sharp body lines and a sharp overall shape. The two-section waistline design is very original. The hidden door handles + through-type taillight design + composite rear wing are all present. Combined with the black body color, the overall look is fashionable and cool.

 

In addition, the interior of the new car is equipped with a 15.6-inch rotating large screen, the main driver's seat is equipped with a 50-watt fast charger, the co-driver's seat is equipped with an NFC key recognition area, and the seats adopt a sports integrated design with good support, especially the lumbar support is in place, which greatly relieves driving fatigue.

 

Final Thoughts

In summary, if you usually have long-distance needs and need to take the highway frequently for business trips, the Sea Lion 06DM-i is the best choice. For home use or camping around the city, the Sea Lion 07EV is worth a look.

It is worth mentioning that many netizens are now complaining about the 65L large fuel tank of the Seal 06DM-i, thinking that it is normal for a car with a large fuel tank to run far and it is not a real skill. However, the Passat uses a 68.5-liter large fuel tank and consumes 95-grade gasoline, and its highway range is only about 1,100 kilometers. The GAC Trumpchi also has a 65L large fuel tank, but it can't even run 1,000 kilometers. Looking at the Seal 06DM-i, it can run more than 2,000 kilometers with 65L, which is already far ahead and it is really hard to criticize.
