BYD Sea Lion 08 Joins the Ocean Series Flagship SUV Lineup โ Current Sealion Pricing from DriveSino
BYD's Ocean series gains a new flagship SUV, the Sea Lion 08, alongside the Seal 08 sedan. Here's what the existing Sealion range already costs to import from DriveSino's live inventory.

Alongside the Seal 08 sedan, BYD has positioned the Sea Lion 08 as the new flagship SUV of its Ocean Network series, continuing the marine-inspired naming and design language BYD has built the sub-brand around. As with the Seal 08, expect the Sea Lion 08 to take time before used units reach the domestic Chinese market DriveSino sources its export inventory from.
What's Already Available: The Current Sealion Range
BYD's existing Sealion lineup is already well represented in DriveSino's live inventory: 70 units currently listed at FOB China prices from $19,680 to $31,670, spanning multiple Sealion trims and model years.
Why the Ocean Series Matters for Import Buyers
BYD's Ocean Network sub-brand is aimed squarely at mainstream buyers rather than the premium positioning of BYD's Dynasty series โ meaning genuinely accessible pricing even before factoring in the further discount direct import from China's domestic market typically offers versus official dealer channels already established in many countries.
