FactA Thai-built Sealion 6 became the 70,000th vehicle made at BYD's Rayong plant, on 27 November 2025.
The BYD Song Plus is a compact SUV built by BYD Auto since 2020, sold in Europe as the BYD Seal U and in Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Thailand as the BYD Sealion 6. It launched with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine; the plug-in hybrid Song Plus DM-i and battery electric Song Plus EV followed in 2021 and the petrol model was phased out in 2022. A facelift in June 2023 brought headlamps similar to the BYD Seal. It was removed from BYD's Chinese website in January 2026, but remains BYD's staple model in export markets.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
