The first with a 120 kW electric motor, codenamed TZ210XYB, and the second with a 160 kW electric motor, TZ210XYC. Both variants will be powered by a 1.5 litre BYD472QC internal combustion engine with a peak power of 74 kW. The top speed of both models is limited to 180 km/h.
The 06 will use a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) blade battery from BYD's subsidiary FinDreams to store electrical energy. The MIIT hasn't revealed the battery capacity, but according to CarNewsChina, there will be two options with a capacity of around 10 kWh and 16 kWh, good for a CLTC range of 60 and 90 km respectively.
In China, sales of the BYD Seal 06 will start later in 2024. Prices have not yet been announced.
