Feedback from local user groups, social media, and rider clubs shows that the Sealion 6 is notable for its technology and comfortable ride, but there are some realistic drawbacks. Many Bangladeshi owners mention that when used as intended—regular home and work charging, mostly city and short highway runs—the electric-first mode provides significant fuel savings. However, garage mechanics point out that the hybrid electric-petrol system needs more specialized servicing than a regular petrol car. This means you will want a good dealer network in Dhaka for peace of mind.
