Sealion 6 DM-i
The same Sealion, with a petrol engine as backup
The plug-in hybrid Sealion 6: a 260 hp, 300 Nm system pairing a 1.5 turbo with an 18.3 kWh Blade pack, and 5.1 L/100 km combined. A practical answer in a market whose charging network is still incomplete — charge at home, run on petrol when you leave town.

Pros and cons from Gulf-specific experience (heat · Ramadan · infrastructure)
Gulf Pros
- Petrol as backup — no dependence on an incomplete charging network
- 5.1 L/100 km combined for a family-sized SUV
- An 18.3 kWh Blade pack covers the daily commute on electricity alone
Watch out for
- The agency publishes neither the electric nor the combined range
- AC only at 6.6 kW — no DC fast charging
- 200,000 EGP more than the fully electric version
What sets it apart
Verified OEM technologies that make this model stand out — from crab walk to battery swap.
Super DM-i: the engine mostly acts as a generator and drive stays electric — hence the 5.1 L figure

Open the charging map →Practical tips for Gulf drivers
EV ownership in the Gulf brings heat, Ramadan, sand and long roads. These are general practical tips; each model’s experience depends on its variant and market.
Prayer times and charging
Choose a compatible station near your destination, and check access hours and operating status in the operator app before arrival.
Ramadan
Check station occupancy in the operator app and choose a quieter time when possible.
Sand and dust
Inspect the charge port and cooling vents after dusty conditions, and follow your car’s cleaning schedule.
Cross-border travel
For trips between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, use verified compatible chargers on your route, with a backup stop and a safe arrival reserve.
Insurance and maintenance
Compare insurance and maintenance schedules for the specific model and dealer. Prices and intervals vary between vehicles.

It may be in stock or inbound at an independent showroom without an official dealer. Warranty there comes from the seller, not guaranteed — exactly what our managed EV Gulf route replaces.
Import via EV Gulf
Inspection + freight + registration
We source it for you through our network of contracted partners: VIN, battery and software checked before shipping, then local registration — one contract, one invoice, instead of coordinating separate parties yourself.
