Available with battery electric (EV) and plug-in hybrid (DM-i) powertrains, it is part of the "Sealion" (海狮; Hǎishī) line-up of SUVs under the Ocean Series product line-up that are distributed through Ocean Network dealerships in China.[2][3][4]

The Sealion 05 EV was launched in China on 25 March 2025, with three trim levels.[5][6]

The exterior of the Sealion 05 EV features the brand's Ocean Aesthetics design language. It features a minimalistic front fascia design with a small air intake, flushed door handles, black plastic trim on the wheel arches, and a continuous LED taillight bar.[5]

The interior of the Sealion 05 EV features an 8.8-inch LCD instrument cluster, 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and the gear shifter used for the automatic transmission is mounted behind the steering wheel. The centre tunnel has a number of physical buttons, a wireless phone charging pad, a pair of cupholders, additional storage space below the centre console, and a storage box with cooling and heating functions. The boot space stands at 600 L (21 cu ft) and expands to 1,460 L (52 cu ft) with rear seats are folded down. There is a 110 L (3.9 cu ft) frunk storage.[5][6]

For safety, the Sealion 05 EV is equipped with the God's Eye C (DiPilot 100) driving assistance system it is powered by five radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 12 cameras.[6]

2026 facelift

The BYD Sealion 05 EV and BYD Sealion 05 DM-i both received an update for the 2026 model year, with both cars now sharing the same exterior body, making the 2026 Sealion 05 DM-i a complete new generation while the EV is merely a facelift. The 2026 update includes mild styling changes for the Sealion 05 EV and the flash charging technology which could finish charging the second-generation Blade Battery of the vehicle within 5 minutes giving it 391 miles of range.[7]
