To optimize the drag coefficient, this station wagon adopts flush door handles.
The Interior of the BYD Seal 06 DM-i SW adopts a three-spoke D-shape steering wheel common for the BYD Ocean series cars. It has a floating screen and a small LCD instrument panel in the center console. The biggest difference between the Seal 06 DM-i sedan and the SW is the gear shifter. The new car has it installed on the steering column. Meanwhile, the sedan variant offers a center-tunnel-mounted retractable gear shifter.
