2025 BYD Destroyer 05 DM-i 55KM Hybrid Sedan

The BYD Destroyer 05 is a compact plug-in hybrid sedan designed for budget-conscious families and fleet buyers seeking a fuel-efficient daily driver. As the first model in BYD‘s “Warship Series,” it has established itself as a value benchmark in the compact sedan segment.

Powered by BYD’s DM-i super hybrid system, it pairs a 1.5L engine (110 hp) with a 132kW electric motor, and a 0-100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds. An 8.3kWh Blade Battery delivers a 55km NEDC electric range, suitable for short commutes, with a 2.5-hour slow charge and no fast charging support. With a 4,780mm length, 2,718mm wheelbase, it offers generous cabin space.

For international vehicle suppliers and China electric vehicle exporters, the Destroyer 05 is a proven global product. It is locally assembled in Uzbekistan as the BYD Chazor, where it ranks as the top-selling new energy vehicle and has even been selected as a state gift by the Uzbek president. In Thailand, it is produced at the Rayong plant as the BYD Seal 5 DM-i, the country‘s first plug-in hybrid. It also competes directly with the Toyota Corolla Hybrid in Brazil under the BYD King nameplate. Backed by BYD’s mature export system and 1.04 million overseas sales in 2025, the Destroyer 05 offers a reliable, high-demand choice for international buyers.
