The BYD Sealion 8, a seven-seater SUV, will be the company's first in Australia, competing with the Kia Sorento and offering over 100km of EV range.
BYD is expanding its product lineup in Australia, introducing new segments, including a teeny electric city hatchback and large luxurious plug-in hybrid off-road SUVs under the Denza brand.
The Sealion 8 aims to bring PHEV power to Australian families with two or more kids, rivaling the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Toyota Kluger.
No pricing information is available yet, but the Sealion 8 is expected to arrive in local showrooms early next year.
