# BYD’s new electric sedan is the size of a Tesla Model 3, but half the price

BYD’s new sedan is about the size of a Tesla Model 3, but it’s half the cost in China. The new Seal 06 went on sale in China, starting at just 109,900 yuan, or about $16,500.

## BYD launches the new Seal 06 with Flash Charging

Although the current Seal 06 EV went on sale just last summer, BYD is already introducing the updated model.

BYD officially launched the 2027 Seal 06 on Tuesday, with both pure-electric (EV) and plug-in hybrid (DM-i) powertrains.

It’s available in 12 variants altogether. The new Seal 06 EV starts at 109,900 yuan ($16,500), while the PHEV (DM-i) version is slightly cheaper, priced from just 99,900 yuan ($15,000).
