BYD Denza B8, Sealion 6 Unveiled at PAPS 2026

This report is based on a source report.

BYD has put two plug-in hybrid SUVs on display at PAPS 2026, but they are aimed at very different buyers in Pakistan. The BYD Sealion 6 is a five-seat crossover for the mainstream family SUV market, while the Denza B8 is a much larger premium model with six- or seven-seat flexibility. According to source reports, pricing, bookings, delivery timing, and final Pakistan specifications have not yet been announced.

For buyers watching BYD’s next move in Pakistan, this matters because the two SUVs do not sit in the same space. The Sealion 6 looks like the more practical choice for families wanting a local-assembly product, while the Denza B8 is being shown as a flagship option for those who want more power, more space, and far more luxury equipment.

Denza B8: big power, big size, big promise

According to a source report, the Denza B8 uses a plug-in hybrid Luxury Super Hybrid DMO system with a petrol engine, dual electric motors, a BYD Blade Battery, and 4WD. It is claimed to make 450 kW and 760 Nm, with 0–100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.

The battery is listed at 36.864 kWh. The same source report says the B8 has a claimed 115 km electric range and a claimed 1,040 km combined range, both under NEDC testing. These are claimed figures, so buyers should not treat them as local real-world numbers.

The SUV is also large enough to fit big families. It measures 5,195 mm long, 1,994 mm wide, and 1,905 mm tall, with a 2,920 mm wheelbase and up to 633 litres of luggage space. That size, plus six- or seven-seat layouts, may appeal to Pakistani buyers who want one vehicle for school runs, long trips, and family travel.

Luxury cabin and safety list is long

Source reports say the B8 can be had with executive-style second-row seats, Nappa leather, massage functions, power leg rests, ambient lighting, an 18-speaker Devialet audio system, and a seven-litre heated and cooled refrigerator.

Tech features listed include a 17.3-inch centre display, a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, head-up display, digital rear-view mirror, night vision, smartphone controls, CarPlay, and Android Auto.

Safety equipment listed in the source report includes 14 airbags, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane assistance, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic braking, fatigue monitoring, and distraction detection. Feature availability may vary by Pakistan variant.

Sealion 6 is the one to watch for more buyers

The Sealion 6 is the more relevant model for most Pakistani shoppers because it is a five-seat plug-in hybrid crossover and is being linked with local assembly. According to the source report, it measures 4,775 mm long, 1,890 mm wide, and 1,670 mm tall.

International specification uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor, with reported output of 319 hp and 550 Nm. The battery is listed at 18.3 kWh, with a claimed electric range of up to 70 km under NEDC testing.

Its equipment list includes a rotating infotainment screen, wireless charging, HUD, NFC access, 360-degree camera, eight airbags, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance.

What Pakistan buyers should wait for

According to sources, BYD and Mega Motor Company still need to confirm local prices, booking rules, delivery dates, warranty terms, charging support, and final feature lists. Buyers should avoid booking on the basis of overseas specs alone, since taxes, assembly plans, exchange rates, and equipment changes can affect the final package.

For now, the message from PAPS 2026 is clear: the Sealion 6 is the broader family-market play, while the Denza B8 is a premium flagship with serious performance and luxury appeal. Interested buyers should wait for official Pakistan details before making a decision.
