New car (China Corolla)2025 BYD Seal05 hybrid



The BYD Seal 05DM-i can be called the Chinese version of Corolla. It inherits the core advantages of Corolla that are deeply rooted in people's hearts—stability and fuel efficiency, and has achieved an all-round upgrade with new energy technology, becoming a new benchmark for family sedans in the 100,000-yuan class. It meets all the rigid needs of family travel just like Corolla, yet it outperforms Corolla in fuel consumption, ride smoothness and cost performance.
 


When it comes to fuel efficiency, it is more extreme than Corolla: Equipped with BYD's mature DM-i super hybrid system, its comprehensive fuel consumption in B-mode is as low as 2.79-3.08L/100km, far lower than Corolla Hybrid's 4.06L/100km. It can run on pure electricity for daily commuting to achieve zero fuel consumption, with an electricity cost of only about 0.06 CNY per kilometer. It is also compatible with 92# gasoline, keeping the refueling cost the same as Corolla and greatly reducing the long-term car use cost.
 


Talking about stability, it has hardcore technical endorsement: It is fully equipped with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission, and the power output is as smooth as Corolla's, eliminating shift jitter. BYD's self-developed lithium iron phosphate blade battery is matched with a liquid cooling + preheating system, and its performance remains stable in the environment of -30℃ to 55℃. The whole car enjoys a warranty of 6 years or 150,000 kilometers, and the three-electric system has a lifetime warranty for the first owner, which is more reassuring than Corolla's 3 years or 100,000 kilometers warranty. The hybrid system has high maturity and low failure rate, meeting the core demand of "worry-free and durable" for family cars.
 


In terms of practicality and reliability, it inherits Corolla's family-oriented genes: The 2718mm wheelbase brings ample rear space, and the 508L conventional trunk volume is more spacious than Corolla, which can be expanded to 1281L after being put down, easily accommodating large items such as strollers and suitcases. It is fully equipped with safety configurations such as ESP body stability system and 6 airbags, and the high-equipped models are equipped with L2-level DiPilot assisted driving, which protects driving safety in an all-round way just like Corolla's TSS system. The car body adopts a 3H high-strength structure, with more solid collision protection.
 


What's more rare is that the BYD Seal 05DM-i achieves "low price with high configuration" with a favorable starting price of 79,800 CNY: It has more configurations than Corolla at the same price, such as pure electric range, fast charging, DiLink intelligent car machine and remote start. It supports dual-mode driving of pure electric/hybrid, with a comprehensive range of over 1350KM, completely saying goodbye to range anxiety. You can have a richer travel experience than Corolla with less money.



Like Corolla, it is a "national iconic car" born for families. It adheres to the family-oriented bottom line of stability, fuel efficiency and practicality, and breaks the limitations of traditional fuel vehicles with new energy technology, making the daily travel of Chinese families not only worry-free and reliable, but also more economical and intelligent.
