ANCAP Safety
Tested
2023

The BYD SEALION 6 was introduced in Australian and New Zealand in May 2024. This ANCAP safety rating applies to PHEV variants.

This ANCAP safety rating is based on testing of the BYD SEAL-U battery electric vehicle available in the European market. In order to confirm the results can be extended to plug-in hybrid variants, additional frontal offset (MPDB) and oblique pole tests were conducted on the BYD SEAL-U / SEALION 6 PHEV. With these additional tests, this ANCAP safety rating is extended to plug-in hybrid variants of the BYD SEALION 6 sold in Australia and New Zealand.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting and side head-protecting airbags are standard. A centre airbag, which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes, is also standard.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car-to-Car, Vulnerable Road User, Junction & Crossing, and Backover) as well as a lane support system with lane keep assist (LKA), lane departure warning (LDW) and emergency lane keeping (ELK), and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS) are standard.
