The technology is designed to address the practical realities of everyday driving in Pakistan, providing efficient electric mobility while reducing range concerns on longer journeys.<br \/>\nThe model\u2019s planned local assembly will commence from Q4 2026 and will mark an important transition for BYD-MMC, from bringing global NEV innovation to Pakistan to establishing a local production footprint. It also reflects the broader evolution of Pakistan\u2019s automotive market, as consumer demand expands from conventional vehicles towards a wider spectrum of electrified mobility solutions.<br \/>\n\u201cPakistan has shown strong potential for new energy mobility, and the response to BYD since our entry into the market has reinforced our confidence in the country,\u201d said Lei Jian, Country Head \u2013 BYD Pakistan. \u201cPAPS provides an opportunity to demonstrate not only the breadth of our current technology and products, but also where we are heading.

Our PAPS lineup reflects that evolution \u2014 from pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to the introduction of a new luxury brand from the BYD universe. The BYD SEALION 6 takes this evolution one step further by bringing localisation into the equation. As we move towards local assembly, we are not simply expanding our portfolio; we are helping shape what the next generation of mobility in Pakistan can look like.\u201d<br \/>\nBYD\u2019s showcase will be available to experience at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2026 from 18 September to 20 September in Hall no. 2 at the Expo Center in Lahore.
