The BYD Sealion 05 EV will be offered in four exterior colours: Warm Sun White, Muchuan Green, Sea White, and Jun Kiln Gray; as well as two interior options: Starry Sky Black and Sea Salt Gray.
Inside, the electric SUV features a flat-bottom steering wheel, a digital instrument panel and a 15.6-inch rotatable centre screen for the infotainment powered by BYD’s DiLink 100 system. The vertically oriented AC vents are located on either side of the screen. Other features include a 50W wireless charger for smartphones and a refrigerator. The “God’s Eye” C entry-level intelligent driving system is supported by a three-camera cluster behind the windshield.
