Earlier in June, the world’s leading New Energy Vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, BYD, announced its plans to produce electric vehicles (EVs) in Pakistan. Now, weeks later, there’s another significant development.
BYD (HUBCO) has imported test units of the SEALION 6, a plug-in hybrid SUV. If these test units prove compatible with local conditions, the company plans to launch the vehicle in the Pakistani market.

This move was unexpected, as many anticipated that BYD (HUBCO) would introduce more practical and affordable small electric vehicles like the Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal, or Tang. The introduction of the SEALION 6 comes as a surprising twist.
The BYD SEALION 6 features a 1.5L 4-cylinder PHEV engine paired with a single front e-motor, producing 300Nm of torque and a maximum power of 160kW.
