“Our BYD Sealion 6 owners are the true heartbeat of the brand,” said Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines. “Every story they share, every new driver they welcome into the fold, and every kilometer they put on their Sealion 6 DM-i is a testament to the trust they’ve placed in us. We’re committed to matching that trust with exceptional, reliable after-sales support as this community continues to grow.”

Kicking off the celebrations, over 60 owners of the Sealion 6 DM-i joined a multi-point convoy drive across Luzon featuring stops at BYD Manila Bay, BYD Santa Rosa, and Shell Mobility Mexico Southbound which hosts an ACMobility charging station. The event ended at Ayala Malls Trinoma where an exclusive drive-in cinema was held.

Since its launch, the Sealion 6 DM-i (read our review) continues to be one of the most popular models in the BYD lineup. As the country’s first vehicle featuring BYD’s Super DM-i technology, it offers a combined range exceeding 1,000 kilometers from a full charge and tank, effectively eliminating the range anxiety that has long held drivers back. This gave Filipinos a practical and accessible entry point into electrified driving. For owner Seth Tullao, that promise has played out firsthand: since buying his Sealion 6 DM-i in 2024, he has clocked 77,000 kilometers on an all-stock unit, a testament to the confidence owners have placed in the car as they push it to its full potential on Philippine roads.

That confidence is backed by substance with the vehicle’s ADAS suite and versatile Vehicle-to-Load functionality which add further layers of convenience behind the wheel. The Sealion 6 DM-i also comes with a 5-star safety rating from both ANCAP and Euro NCAP to round out its safety credentials. In 2024, it was named as one of the Top Picks by this publication.

The 2nd anniversary of the BYD Sealion 6 honored the owners who have helped make it possible. In just two years, the group consistently hosts meetups that transform individual car ownership into a genuine communal experience, that allows members to share real-world insights, reflecting both the strength of the product and the trust owners have placed in the brand.

“Two years ago, we started with a handful of owners who simply wanted a place to share their experience with the Sealion 6 DM-i,” said Edward Salas, President of the BYD Sealion 6 Club. “Today, we’re a much larger community that is bound by a shared passion for electrified driving. Nights like this remind us how far we’ve come together, and how much further we can go.”
