BYD launches 2026 Sealion 05 series equipped with flash charging

BYD officially launched its updated Sealion 05 series, as the Chinese automaker aims to consolidate its market share through lower prices and upgraded technology.

The revamped Sealion 05 SUV (sport utility vehicle) lineup includes the plug-in hybrid Sealion 05 DM-i and the battery-electric Sealion 05 EV, continuing the approach of their predecessors.

Prices for the Sealion 05 DM-i range from 97,900 yuan ($14,360) to 127,900 yuan. The Sealion 05 EV is priced between 119,900 yuan and 145,900 yuan.

The updated models feature significant upgrades in power and range performance. The pure electric versions are all equipped with BYD's second-generation Blade Battery and ultra-fast flash charging technology.

The Sealion 05 EV requires only five minutes to basically complete its energy replenishment. Its maximum pure electric range has been extended to 630 kilometers, with a top 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.9 seconds.

BYD Sealion 05 launched in China with DM-i version offering 305 km of EV range

The BYD Sealion 05 compact new energy crossover was launched in China with the plug-in hybrid DM-i version offering up to 305 km of electric range. This model boasts a LiDAR-based DiPilot 300 ADAS, seven airbags, and a built-in fridge. The entry-level model costs 97,900 yuan (14,360 USD).

The BYD Sealion 05 became available for purchase with two powertrain variants. The first is a plug-in hybrid, and the second is a pure electric. Both models share similar styling with a closed front end, thin headlights, semi-hidden door handles, and blackened pillars. Dimensions are 4620/1860/1630 mm, respectively. For clarity, the Sealion 05 is 165 mm longer than the BYD Atto 3.

BYD: Crown Lost; A 'Toyota' Abroad Next?

$BYD COMPANY(01211.HK) released its Q4 2025 results after the Hong Kong close on Mar. 27 (Beijing time). Key takeaways are below.

1. Revenue beat was driven by BYD Electronics; auto revenue in line: Q4 revenue was RMB 237.7bn, slightly above the RMB 236.7bn consensus, largely on strong QoQ growth in non-core businesses. In the core auto segment, revenue was RMB 181.5bn, broadly in line, but ASPs kept slipping.

In the core auto sales line, Q4 revenue reached RMB 181.5bn, matching market expectations. However, vehicle ASPs continued to trend down.

2. ASP still on a downtrend: In Q4, auto ASP fell by RMB 1,500 QoQ to RMB 135,000, as clearance discounts offset the mix-upside from premiumization and exports. Inventory-clearing pressure restrained the structural ASP benefits.

How Nissan is looking to beat BYD at its own game in the ute space

Nissan sees the future of the Australian market as being dominated by hybrids, which includes four-wheel drive utes.

Nissan’s local boss is ‘passionate’ about the prospects of the Frontier Pro PHEV ute for the Australian market, as the brand plans for a market dominated by hybrid powertrains.

And it could take on the BYD Shark 6 in the Australian market, along with the GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV and Ford Ranger PHEV.

Andrew Humberstone, Nissan’s managing director for the Oceania region, wouldn’t yet lock in the Frontier Pro for the Australian market – and decline to confirm if the vehicle's arrival has already been shared with dealers – but told Drive that news is due soon.

2027 Nissan Frontier Pro could arrive this year

We’re just months away from an official announcement on the local future of the 2027 Nissan Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid ute, with departing Nissan Oceania managing director Andrew Humberstone revealing it could be here sooner than expected.

Speaking to carsales today at the national media launch of the all-new D27 Navara, Humberstone said many of the major boxes had been ticked on the Frontier Pro’s local business case and that the details were being wrapped up now.

“We’re hoping to have it sooner than originally planned, but it’s all being finalised as we speak and hopefully, within the next two months, you should get a statement from the new incumbent.”

Nissan’s answer to the BYD Shark 6 will be confirmed for Australia next month

The plug-in hybrid Nissan Frontier Pro dual-cab ute will be officially locked in for the local market in two weeks.

Nissan Australia revealed the news to its dealers last November, but Nissan Oceania managing director Andrew Humberstone has now confirmed the all-new Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid dual-cab ute will be officially announced for the Australian and New Zealand markets next month.

Speaking to media at this week’s launch of the new Mitsubishi Triton-based Navara ute, Mr Humberstone said Nissan Australia will announce a new ute “in two weeks”.

When asked whether he was referring to a hybrid ute, Mr Humberstone said: “Yeah, it will be”.

BYD has revealed its new "Blade" battery capable of charging its electric vehicles in rapid time, according to reports.

It is the second generation of the signature Blade battery, which is found on all of BYD’s electrified vehicles.

Targeted charge times range from 10-70 per cent in five minutes, with a charge from 10-97 per cent taking just nine minutes.

BYD Launches Ultra Fast Charging Blade Battery 2.0 and 1.5MW Flash Charging Station

BYD has officially unveiled its second-generation Blade Battery and a new flash charging system at a BYD tech event held on 5 March 2026. The next generation battery technology will now charge the next generation of BYD EVs as quickly as a quick stop at a petrol station

The new Blade Battery builds on BYD's existing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry. It delivers 5% higher energy density than the first generation, a longer lifespan and stricter safety standards.

The Denza Z9GT, fitted with the new battery, achieves a claimed range of 1,036 km (CLTC) on a single charge.

Charging speed is the headline feature. The second-generation Blade Battery charges from 10% to 70% in 5 minutes and from 10% to 97% in 9 minutes. On standard charging piles, it charges 30-50% faster than conventional EV batteries.

Explore the latest developments concerning BYD Sealion 08.

BYD Sealion 08 and Seal 08 revealed as new flagship EVs for 2026

BYD has confirmed plans for two new flagship electric vehicles – the Sealion 08 large SUV and the Seal 08 sedan – both due to launch in China in early 2026. They showcase new technology and a more upmarket direction for the rapidly expanding brand and at least one of them is all but certain for Australia.

China’s most recognisable car brand, BYD, has teased two new models recently, confirming them for production imminently.

First up: the Sealion 08 large SUV has been teased by BYD. Not the Sealion 8 hitting Oz mid-2026 (confused yet?) but a bigger, meaner beast aimed squarely at luxury Chinese rivals like Zeekr.

BYD teases Seal 08 sedan and Sealion 08 SUV as its most luxurious Ocean Series models yet

Ahead of an official reveal in early 2026, BYD has locked in two new range-topping models for its ‘Ocean Series’ of models.

BYD has offered shadowy teasers for production versions of what will become the Seal 08 sedan and Sealion 08 SUV.

Poised to become the flagship models of their respective ranges, the ‘08’ versions of the Seal sedan line-up and Sealion SUV range, will enter the Chinese market as the most upmarket versions of BYD’s mainstream Ocean Series.

The Seal 08 has been previewed already in concept form, as the Ocean S, featuring a long-wheelbase sedan design with minimalist head- and tail-light designs, subtly blistered front and rear guards, and massive alloy wheels.

DENZA Reveals Australian Pricing for B5 and B8 Super Hybrid SUVs

DENZA has formally revealed Australian pricing for its first models, the DENZA B5 and DENZA B8 Super Hybrid SUVs, marking the brand’s official entry into the local market with a clear focus on premium positioning, advanced technology and long-range electrified driving.

The pricing announcement was made at the opening of DENZA’s first Australian location at Rushcutters Bay in Sydney, ahead of a national roadshow introducing the brand to dealerships and customers across the country.

For fleet and novated lease buyers, the pricing places DENZA squarely in the premium large SUV segment, while undercutting many established luxury competitors when specification and electrified capability are considered.
