Launched on November 17, 2023 at the Guangzhou Auto Show and officially revealed at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2024, the BYD Sealion 7 entered the electric SUV arena with style and substance—debuting globally in 2024 and rolling out to markets like India and Australia in early 2025 . This mid-size coupe‑SUV builds upon BYD’s acclaimed Seal sedan, sharing its advanced e‑Platform 3.0 Evo architecture and Ocean Series design language, accentuated by flush handles, sleek LED lighting, flared arches, and a sweeping ‘coupe’ roofline .
Powered by an 82.56 kWh blade-style battery (China also offers optional larger packs), the Sealion 7 comes in two configurations. The Premium (RWD) model delivers 308–313 PS and 380 Nm torque, offering a claimed 567 km NEDC range and a 0–100 km/h time of around 6.7 seconds. The Performance (AWD) variant ups the ante with dual motors totaling 523 PS and 690 Nm, sprinting from 0–100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds with a 542 km range . With top-tier models featuring motors spinning up to 23,000 rpm, the Sealion 7 claims one of the fastest mass-produced EV drivetrains .
Inside, the cabin blends tech and luxury: a rotatable 15.6‑inch touchscreen, a 10.25‑inch digital instrument cluster, head‑up display, dual-zone AC, panoramic glass roof, heated and ventilated power seats, wireless charging, V2L power output, and a premium 12‑speaker Dynaudio sound system . The use of quality finishes and expansive space earned praise in global reviews .
Safety is robust, with 360° cameras, 11 airbags (or 9 depending on market), ISOFIX mounts, parking sensors, and Level‑2 ADAS—featuring adaptive cruise, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, blind‑spot and cross‑traffic alerts .
Measuring 4,830 mm long with a 2,930 mm wheelbase, the Sealion 7 offers a 520 L boot and 58 L frunk; its advanced adaptive DiSus‑C damping system senses road conditions and adjusts in real time .
In India, deliveries began March 7, 2025, with ex‑showroom prices ranging from ₹48.90 lakh for the Premium to ₹54.90 lakh for the Performance variant . In Australia, the Performance retails around AUD 63,990 (~₹36 lakh), and global reviews note its quick acceleration, reliability, and spacious interior—even if some criticize its uninspiring handling .
From its 2023 debut to its 2025 market rollout, the BYD Sealion 7 stands out as a premium, tech-rich electric SUV that combines blistering performance, generous range, and advanced features—all wrapped in sleek, modern design—setting a new benchmark in accessible electric luxury.
