BYD end-of-year deals include thousands off Shark 6, Sealion 7, plus novated lease discounts

BYD is offering a swag of deals across much of its model lineup as it looks to close out a massive 2026 that has seen it rocket up the charts to become Australia’s second-best selling auto brand.

Covering novated lease discounts, cashback, and more affordable financing across both plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and electric vehicles (EVs), the deals are in addition to previously announced drive-away deals for the Atto 1 Essential electric hatch ($19,990 drive-away), Atto 2 DM-i Essential electric SUV ($25,990 drive-away) and Dolphin Essential electric hatch ($28,888 drive-away).

The only members of the BYD lineup not eligible for any of the brand’s current deals are the newly launched M9 PHEV people mover and Atto 3 Evo electric SUV, plus the familiar Seal electric sedan.

Cashback deals

BYD is offering $4000 off the Seal 6 sedan and wagon, Shark 6 ute, and the Sealion 5, Sealion 6, Sealion 7 and Sealion 8 SUVs.

This offer is valid for orders placed between October 1 and December 21, 2026 for vehicles delivered by December 31, 2026, though BYD says it may approve an extension to the offer if a customer’s vehicle can’t be delivered in time. 

The deal isn’t available in conjunction with any other offers, and also isn’t available to fleet buyers or on demonstrator or service loan vehicles.

Below are the list prices of eligible BYD models, with the $4000 cashback subtracted:

Novated lease discounts

BYD is offering a six per cent discount across Atto 1, Atto 2, Atto 3, Dolphin and Sealion 7 EVs ordered as part of a novated lease through an approved fleet management organisation.

This discount is applied to the base vehicle price, before any on-road costs are added. Vehicles must be ordered between October 1, 2026 and December 21, 2026, with delivery taking place by January 31, 2027.

This offer isn’t available in conjunction with any other offers, and isn’t available on demonstrator or service loan vehicles, or to fleet buyers.

The six per cent discount on the manufacturer’s recommended list price reduces the price of these vehicles as follows.
