The SEALION 7 stands out with its bold, aerodynamic SUV design, created under the guidance of BYD’s design team. At 4,830 mm long, it offers a dynamic and athletic look, complete with LED lighting, flush door handles, and a fastback roofline. The interior is spacious, accommodating five adults comfortably with a flat rear floor for added legroom.
Cargo space is generous, featuring a 520-liter rear boot and an additional 58-liter front compartment. Premium features like a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and soundproof laminated glass create a refined and comfortable environment.
The BYD SEALION 7 is equipped with a 15.6-inch rotatable infotainment screen, a digital instrument panel, and compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Excellence AWD models include a Head-Up Display for enhanced visibility.
The in-car experience is further enhanced with a 12-speaker audio system and voice control capabilities. Advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind-spot detection, and 360-degree cameras ensure peace of mind.
The SEALION 7 will be available in three trims: Comfort, Design AWD, and Excellence AWD. Each version comes with features tailored to different needs, including heated seats, dual-zone climate control, and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology for external power use.
Deliveries are set to begin in late 2024, with a six-year manufacturer warranty and an eight-year battery warranty included. Pricing details will be announced by individual markets.
The BYD SEALION 7 marks another step forward in BYD’s commitment to providing innovative, efficient, and accessible electric vehicles tailored to European tastes.
