Meet the BYD Sealion 5, Australia's most affordable plug-in hybrid SUV. As the smallest and most affordable member of BYD's Sealion family, it enters the ultra-competitive medium SUV segment, offering something genuinely different: plug-in hybrid capability at a price point that typically only buys petrol power.
A novated lease on the BYD Sealion 5 through Leaselab transforms this already impressive value proposition into something even more compelling, using pre-tax income to unlock serious savings.
As a plug-in hybrid rather than an electric vehicle, the Sealion 5 doesn't qualify for the federal FBT exemption reserved for zero-emission EVs. But you'll still capture substantial tax savings through salary sacrifice, paying for your vehicle and running costs with pre-tax dollars while reducing your overall taxable income.

FBT
FBT is the tax that normally applies when your employer pays for something personal, like a car. On most cars it eats into the saving. The Dolphin is a battery electric car under the federal exemption, so FBT doesn't apply at all, and the pre-tax advantage is yours to keep.

GST
The 10% GST comes off the car's price, and off the running costs you bundle into the lease. That saving lands before you've driven a kilometre.

The Process
A novated lease is a way to pay for your car and its running costs using your pre-tax income, which in the eyes of the ATO reduces your total salary and therefore the amount of tax you pay. It sounds simple, but it’s a total game-changer. Here's how it works in three simple steps.
Found the car you want? Perfect. Now, instead of you paying for your car outright, you enter into a lease agreement for the car for a fixed period between 1 - 5 years.
An agreement is set up between you, your employer and us. Then, your deductions for the lease (including running costs too, if that's what you want) are made by your employer from your pre-tax income. And that reduces the income tax you pay each pay cycle. Plus, your deduction amount is fixed, so you know what you’re paying for your car each month.
With a direct line of communication through a dedicated relationship manager, we'll help you navigate any challenges right the way through your lease. Whether it's today or five years from now, we promise you’ll always have the same level of help and service all the way through to the end of your lease.

For many salaried employees, yes. A BYD Sealion 5 novated lease lets you pay for your car and running costs using pre-tax income, which may reduce your taxable income and simplify budgeting.
Official Australian pricing for the BYD Sealion 5 is expected to start at $33,990 before on-roads, but the final price depends on variant and equipment.
The fully electric Sealion 5 is expected to deliver roughly 400–500km of driving range, depending on battery size and driving conditions.
Fast charging can top up the battery from 10–80% in about 30–40 minutes. Charging at home using AC power usually takes around 6–8 hours.
The Sealion 5 is expected to be a fully electric SUV, while the Sealion 6 is a plug-in hybrid that combines petrol and electric power.
