At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, BYD made its debut in two new Ocean Net cars, namely Seal 06 DM-i and Sea Lion 07EV.
Seal 06 DM-i is the third model named after "Seal". The first two models are Seal EV and Seal DM-i respectively. It seems that BYD intends to develop Seal into a product sequence, and Seal 06 DM-i will become the entry model of this sequence after its launch, which can be understood as the twin model of Qin L.
However, the appearance of Seal 06 DM-i is obviously different from other seal models. The design of the whole front face does not show the so-called family design, especially the C-shaped headlights are not used. On the contrary, the tail slip line and the through taillight shape have the commonality of the seal family. As far as this model is concerned, Yan value should be able to satisfy the aesthetics of the corresponding user group, and it is younger and more sporty than Qin L in temperament.
The interior of Seal 06 DM-i has obvious family style, but the dashboard is suspended rather than embedded, and the outline of the key module where the shift lever is located is round rather than square.
In terms of space, the body length, width and height of Seal 06 DM-i are 4830/1875/1495mm and the wheelbase is 2790mm respectively. Although it is smaller than Seal EV or Seal DM-i in size, it basically enters the range of medium-sized cars.
In terms of power, Seal 06 DM-i may be equipped with BYD’s new generation DM-i technology like Qin L, and its fuel consumption and comprehensive endurance will be improved obviously. According to the information disclosed so far, it provides two pure electric endurance versions of 60km and 90km, from which it can be seen that the positioning of Seal 06 DM-i is really getting started.
Another new car is Sea Lion 07 EV. As a brand-new sequence of Ocean Net, it is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, which can be regarded as the twin model of Song L.
Sea lion 07 EV continues the concept of Ocean X concept car in design, and is similar to Seal EV. Although it is positioned as an SUV, it seems that it only forcibly increases the suspension stroke to support the car. From the side, it can be seen that its posture is very low, the tail is very cross-border, and it is even decorated with a large diffuser. As long as the height of the car is reduced, it is a hatchback performance EV. Its body size is 4830/1925/1620mm and the wheelbase is 2930mm, which is very consistent with Song L.
The layout and design of the interior are very similar to those of Seal EV, so I won’t introduce them here. In terms of configuration, Haishi 07 EV is particularly worth mentioning the L2+ high-order intelligent assisted driving system, which has many driving functions, such as lane keeping, lane guidance, changing lanes by shifting levers, traffic sign recognition, intelligent speed limit, etc., but it does not yet have the ability of high-speed or urban NOA.
In terms of power, Sea Lion 07 EV offers two versions of two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, of which the two-wheel drive is divided into two outputs: 170kW and 230kW, while the comprehensive output of the four-wheel drive version is 390kW.
BYD adopts Chehai tactics, occupying every market segment by constantly introducing new models, and finally achieving far-ahead sales volume and market share. The model design of Haiyang.com is generally younger and more sporty, corresponding to younger consumers. With the face value of these two models, I believe it can really attract many users after listing.
