Our take on this /// Verdict

The BYD Sealion 7 Performance is a compelling addition to the Indian electric vehicle market, particularly in the premium segment. With its sleek and rugged design, inspired by BYDs Ocean Series, this SUV combines aesthetics with robust performance. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration delivers an impressive 530 PS of power and 690 Nm of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmh in just 4.5 seconds. The interior is well-appointed, featuring a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital drivers display, and luxurious amenities like ventilated and heated seats. Safety is also a strong point, with 9 airbags and Level-2 ADAS. Overall, the BYD Sealion 7 Performance is a strong contender that offers a blend of performance, luxury, and advanced technology, making it a worthy consideration for those looking to transition to an electric vehicle.

Price

The BYD Sealion 7 Performance is expected to be priced around 49 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the various state-specific taxes and registration fees, the on-road price could range from 55 lakh to 60 lakh, depending on the state. This pricing positions the Sealion 7 Performance competitively against other premium electric SUVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6. Given its extensive feature list, powerful performance, and advanced safety features, the price seems justified for those seeking a high-end electric vehicle experience.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 19 January 2025 06:54 AM The Sealion 7 features BYDs advanced Blade battery technology, which provides efficient charging and a range of up to 312 miles on a single charge for the Excellence AWD model. The charging speed peaks at 230kW for the lower battery models and up to 230kW for the higher spec, allowing for a 10-80% battery top-up in under 30 minutes.

Sunday, 19 January 2025 06:47 PM The vehicles performance is also enhanced by its vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging capability, allowing users to charge their devices directly from the cars battery. This feature, along with a heat pump for efficient winter driving, adds to the overall driving experience.

Sunday, 19 January 2025 11:17 AM The BYD Sealion 7s dual-motor AWD variant offers a towing capacity of 1,500 kg, which is significantly higher than the RWD variants 750 kg. This makes it a practical choice for families who need to tow trailers or boats. I think this added capability will appeal to a broader audience.

Sunday, 19 January 2025 08:24 AM Despite its powerful performance, the Sealion 7 is designed to be comfortable, with a spacious cabin and a 520-litre boot space. However, the ride quality can be firm over bad surfaces, which might be a consideration for some buyers.
