Meet BYD Sealion 7: Specs & Features Unveiled

In October 2024, BYD made waves at the Paris Auto Show by announcing its new mid-size SUV, the Sealion 7. The company confirmed that the vehicle would eventually be available in Europe but left many details about the European version unconfirmed. Recently, BYD introduced the Sealion 7 to the UK market, revealing three different configurations: Comfort, Design, and Excellence, each tailored to varying preferences and performance needs.

Comfort Model: Efficient and Powerful

The entry-level Comfort model of the BYD Sealion 7 is equipped with an 82.5 kWh battery and a single electric motor that produces an impressive 303 horsepower. This configuration boasts a WLTP-rated range of 480 km on a single charge, making it ideal for longer commutes and weekend getaways. The model supports a DC fast-charging rate of 150 kW, allowing the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in just 32 minutes, offering convenience for drivers on the go.

Design Model: All-Wheel Drive with More Power

The mid-range Design variant retains the same 82.5 kWh battery but introduces a second electric motor for an all-wheel-drive setup, resulting in a combined output of 514 horsepower. This added power comes with a slight reduction in range, offering 454 km per charge. However, like the Comfort model, it supports the same 150 kW DC fast-charging rate, so drivers can achieve an 80% charge in around half an hour. The Design model provides a balance of power and efficiency for those seeking more control and performance.

Excellence Model: Extended Range and Faster Charging

Topping the range, the Excellence model offers an even larger 91.3 kWh battery while retaining the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system from the Design model. This upgrade increases the estimated range to 501 km and introduces faster DC charging at 230 kW, reducing the 10% to 80% charging time to just 24 minutes. The Excellence model is designed for those prioritizing maximum range and quick recharging capabilities, making it a prime choice for long-distance travelers.

Interior Features and Availability Details

All models of the Sealion 7 come with a heat pump and V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) functionality, enabling the vehicle’s battery to power external devices. Inside, a rotating 15.4-inch infotainment display and a 10.25-inch instrument cluster enhance the driving experience. The front seats in every variant are both power-adjustable and ventilated, adding to the luxury feel of the Sealion 7. While BYD has yet to reveal pricing and availability, these details are expected to be announced by the end of the year, building anticipation for this high-tech SUV.
