BYD's Ocean lineup at Chengdu 2025: Tang L, Han DM-i, Yuan UP and more

At the 2025 Chengdu Auto Show, BYD rolled out a string of debuts under its Ocean lineup, pressing on with its strategy to cement its footing in the EV and plug-in hybrid space.

BYD Tang L EV / Tang L DM-i

The new Tang L crossover made its debut in both all-electric and hybrid guises. Reporters on the ground from SPEEDME.RU noted the EV’s contemporary look with slim LED lighting and a full-width rear light bar, plus a plush cabin trimmed in red leather. The DM-i version employs a hybrid setup with a larger battery and is tailored for long-distance travel. The focus on upscale equipment and space positions the Tang L squarely against the NIO ES6 and Li Auto L7.

BYD Han DM-i (special edition)

The Han sedan appeared in a special edition featuring unique airbrushed graphics and patterns inspired by the game Black Myth: Wukong. It pairs BYD’s DM-i Super Hybrid tech with an elegant, sporty stance. Aimed at collectors and fans of cultural collaborations, this edition emerged as one of BYD’s standout reveals.

BYD Yuan UP

The compact Yuan UP EV was shown in production form for the first time. Aimed at younger buyers, it brings a minimalist cabin with a large infotainment display, a clean, straightforward dashboard, and a two-tone exterior. In size, the Yuan UP lines up against the Hyundai Kona EV and Smart #1.

BYD Sea Lion 07 DM-i

A fresh addition to the range, the Sea Lion 07 DM-i is a hybrid crossover styled in the Ocean family’s idiom, with flowing lines and an emphasis on aero. Inside is a large display; propulsion comes via BYD’s DM-i hybrid system with multiple drive modes. It targets buyers looking to balance efficiency with punch.

BYD Haibo 06 GT

Among the highlights was the Haibo 06 GT, the sport-oriented take on the model. It features more aggressive styling with reworked aero, larger intakes, and added trim details. The cabin gets sport seats and updated infotainment software. BYD also unveiled the Haibo 06 GT Black Myth: Wukong Edition concept, whose game-inspired design drew significant crowd attention.

BYD Dolphin Mini / Seagull

Also on display was the compact Seagull EV (sold for export as the Dolphin Mini). True to the city-EV brief, it mixes everyday usability with fresh styling and an attainable price. It is among the most anticipated entries in China’s budget EV segment.
