BYD Sealion 5 set to revolutionise South African roads

GET READY for a game-changer, South Africa! BYD Auto South Africa is about to unleash the new Sealion 5, a cutting-edge SUV that combines electric driving with the assurance of extended range. This innovative vehicle is set to shake up the local automotive scene, offering a unique blend of efficiency, safety, and everyday practicality.

The Sealion 5 boasts a slew of impressive features, including a panoramic sunroof, keyless entry, wireless charging, intelligent voice control, and a large infotainment display. But it's not just about the bells and whistles – this SUV is designed to be a practical and stylish companion for urban families.

"We designed the Sealion 5 for real life," says Nomonde Kweyi, Marketing Director at BYD Auto South Africa. "It’s that perfect spot where a car is practical for the family, stylish for your lifestyle, and smart enough to make every journey easier."

The Sealion 5 is the latest addition to BYD's impressive lineup, following a year of strong momentum across both its pure electric and hybrid portfolios. And the best part? It's priced to make advanced technology accessible to all.

"We know many South African drivers are caught between wanting to move on from traditional ICE vehicles, but find luxury hybrids to be out of reach," says Mark Handley, Commercial Director at BYD Auto South Africa. "The Sealion 5 is our answer to that. It’s the smart upgrade that gives you all the advanced technology and savings, without the premium price tag."

The launch of the Sealion 5 forms part of BYD’s continued expansion in South Africa, following a year of strong momentum across both its pure electric and hybrid portfolios. Full details, specifications and pricing will be shared immediately following the event.

Catch the global debut of the Sealion 5 on Thursday, December 4.
