Review: 2025 BYD Seal 5 DM-i Premium
BYD Cars Philippines is making a killing with these plug-in hybrids of theirs. Recognizing the value proposition offered by the Sealion 6 DM-i (read our review), people simply lapped up the compact SUV. Soon, they followed that up with the second member of their DM-i (Dual Motor Intelligent) range, the Seal 5 DM-i, and in the coming weeks, a third, with the Sealion 5 DM-i. Going back to the Seal 5 DM-i, it represents the Chinese car brand’s entry into yet another competitive segment—the B or sub-compact sedan. Can lightning strike twice, or did BYD just run out of new tricks?
