BYD has filed for the all-electric Sealion 05, hybrid Seal 05, and hybrid Seal 07, with the Sealion 07 starting to be offered in variants with a more performance-oriented DM-p system.

BYD (HKG: 1211, OTCMKTS: BYDDY) made regulatory filings for a number of models, revealing part of what's next in the product pipeline for China's largest new energy vehicle (NEV) maker.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released its latest catalog of models that will soon be allowed to be sold for public comment yesterday, which includes models such as the BYD Sealion 05, Seal 05 and Seal 07.

The public can submit their feedback between December 10-16. Entry into the catalog is the last major regulatory process by which a model can be allowed to be sold in China.

The five-seat SUV (sport utility vehicle) measures 4,520 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width and 1,630 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,720 mm.
