Biadi Sea Lion 06 to Debut in July, Boasting Fifth-Generation Technology and Range of Powertrains

The latest development in the Chinese electric vehicle market has been revealed: the Biadi Sea Lion 06 is set to officially go on sale at the end of July. The vehicle will be available in both hybrid and fully electrified variants, according to previous official announcements.

Pricing for the Sea Lion 06 will range between 16 and 20 yuan, while the powertrain consists of a fifth-generation DM technology/e-platform 3.0 Evo setup.

Dimensionally, the SUV measures 4,810mm in length, 1,920mm in width, and 1,675mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,820mm, positioning it as a mid-size SUV. The exterior design continues to feature oceanic aesthetics, with distinctive elements such as new lamp clusters that provide increased visibility and prominent front bumpers equipped with dual layers of intakes for enhanced depth.

Upon entering the cabin, family-style interior designs prevail, boasting clean design principles while incorporating more premium materials and refined lines. An LCD instrument cluster is paired to a floating center console displaying advanced digital information. Buttons and knobs are scattered across various parts on board – with some key buttons being touch-sensitive displays instead of traditional mechanical ones.

Powertrain options are diverse. The Sea Lion 06 comes equipped with fifth-generation DM technology/e-platform 3.0 Evo for both variants. For the purely battery-electric models, users can expect four drivetrain settings and a performance capacity ranging from 170 to 290 kW (as such, the combined maximum of all three drives will reach approximately 290kW). All-in-all this gives the driver more than enough flexibility in terms of different power combinations.

The Sea Lion 06 also comes with various battery combinations (depending upon the powertrain setting), with varying degrees of range from 520 km to 605. With regard to hybrid models, they come powered by a new 1.5-liter engine that can deliver maximum production output of 74 kW and top drive power of up to 160kW; the onboard battery has capacities ranging between its WLTC-tested ranges: purely electrically-assisted trips from 93 km up to longer full-electric missions.
