The BYD Destroyer 05 (Chinese: 比亚迪驱逐舰05; pinyin: Bǐyǎdí Qūzhújiàn 05), sometimes translated in English sources as the BYD Chaser 05, is a compact sedan manufactured by Chinese automaker BYD Auto. The first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) under the "Ocean Series", the Destroyer 05 is equipped with the DM-i hybrid technology and heavily based on the older BYD Qin Plus and Qin Pro compact sedans, sharing exactly the same wheelbase dimensions and height while featuring completely restyled front and rear end designs.
In Uzbekistan, the vehicle went on sale in March 2023 as the BYD Chazor, in Latin America such as Brazil and Mexico in early 2024 as BYD King, and in the Philippines in November 2024 as the BYD Seal 5 DM-i.
