The exterior of the Seal 06 DM-i adopts the design language from the BYD Ocean vehicle series. It features a closed front fascia, door handles of an outward-flip design, a transparent taillight bar and an illuminated BYD logo on the rear boot lid.
For the suspension, the Seal 06 DM-i has MacPherson struts at the front and a E-type four-link independent setup at the rear.
Inside, the Seal 06 DM-i carries over the Ocean series design for the dashboard and doors. There is a 8.8-inch LCD digital instrument cluster and a rotatable 15.6-inch central touchscreen infotainment system.
The station wagon model was unveiled in April 2025 at the Shanghai Auto Show.{{Cite web |last=Leung |first=Adrian |date=2025-04-23 |title=BYD unveils expanded 06 series lineup in Shanghai: from wagon to electric sedan |url=https://carnewschina.com/2025/04/23/byd-unveils-expanded-06-series-lineup-in-shanghai-from-wagon-to-electric-sedan/ |access-date=2025-04-23 |website=CarNewsChina |language=en-US}}
