Das Neue Die Welt des Siegels 05 DM-i, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (Phev) Limousine, is set to replace the current Zerstörer 05. This upcoming model has been revealed through regulatory information, giving us an early glimpse into its specifications. Das Siegel 05 DM-i is smaller in size compared to both the original Seal and the Siegel 06, positioning itself as a more compact option in BYD’s lineup.

Unter der Motorhaube, das Siegel 05 DM-i is powered by BYD’s latest DM 5.0 fifth-generation PHEV technology. Despite being one of the smaller cars to feature this technology, das Siegel 05 verwendet a 74 kW naturally aspirated 1.5-liter BYD472QC engine. All versions of the car are equipped with the TZ210XYB 120 KW Elektromotor, which is produced by BYD’s Changsha division.
As expected from a BYD vehicle, das Siegel 05 DM-i is equipped with the company’s lithium iron phosphate Blade Battery. Although exact details on battery capacity are yet to be confirmed, the weight differences between the variants suggest that different battery options will be available.
BYD is known for its quick vehicle launches, so we can expect the Seal 05 DM-i to debut in early 2025, further expanding BYD’s presence in the growing PHEV market.
