Staff Reporter : BYD, the leading global New Energy Vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, has embarked on an exciting adventure,
Cross Country Endurance Drive with the BYD Sealion 6, which began on September 4, 2025. This initiative has been designed to highlight the real-world range of the BYD Sealion 6, a cutting-edge plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that was initially introduced with an estimated range of about 1,100 km.
The goal of this campaign is to push the boundaries further and showcase the Sealion 6’s extended range in real-world driving conditions, proving its ability to perform beyond expectations.
Over the span of five days, the BYD Sealion 6 will cover an impressive 1,866.4 km across various terrains and routes in Bangladesh. This journey will take the convoy from Dhaka to Banglabandha Zero Point and return to Dhaka,
with multiple stops along the way, including a visit to Cox’s Bazar, Teknaf, and Chattogram. The challenge will test the endurance and efficiency of the Sealion 6, demonstrating its capacity to handle long-distance driving while maintaining optimal performance.
The convoy is led by BYD Bangladesh officials Imtiaz Nawsher, Shahnuma Sharmin, and Rezwan Rahman, along with notable automotive personalities such as Shahriar Parvez from The SPTV and Mustavi Irtiza Bashar of Cars & Conversation.
The journey will unfold across multiple days, with the first leg of the journey, on September 4, beginning in Dhaka and traveling to Banglabandha Zero Point (464.7 km), followed by a return from Tetulia to Dhaka. Then, the convoy will head to Cox’s Bazar, covering 396 km, and then travel to Teknaf and Chattogram the next day, before wrapping up with a return journey to Dhaka.
In her remarks about the campaign, Shahnuma Sharmin, the Lead of Strategy & Digital at BYD Bangladesh, said, “This campaign goes beyond being just a simple drive; it serves as a true reflection of the remarkable endurance and efficiency of the BYD Sealion 6. Our aim with this initiative is not only to demonstrate how this vehicle can exceed expectations in real-world conditions,
but also to set a new benchmark for PHEV performance in the region. We believe that this challenge will solidify the Sealion 6’s reputation as the ultimate solution for sustainable, long-distance driving, offering both power and eco-friendliness in equal measure.”
This cross-country endurance drive is a part of BYD Bangladesh’s ongoing commitment to showcase the incredible capabilities of its electric and hybrid vehicles, underscoring the brand’s leadership in the automotive sector.
The campaign will inspire a broader understanding of how new energy vehicles, like the BYD Sealion 6, can thrive in various driving environments and provide a reliable, eco-friendly alternative for both urban and long-distance driving.
With this campaign, BYD not only highlights the Sealion 6’s features but also emphasizes its role in shaping the future of sustainable transportation in Bangladesh.
