Electrifying Performance
The Sealion 7 is built to thrill. Powered by BYD’s signature Blade Battery, renowned for its durability, safety, and energy density, this electric SUV delivers exhilarating performance. Equipped with an all-wheel-drive system, the Sealion 7 can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, combining speed and stability for an unmatched driving experience.
While exact battery configurations for India are yet to be disclosed, two options are expected: 82.5 kWh and 91.3 kWh, offering a remarkable range of up to 502 kilometers per charge. Whether it’s daily commutes or weekend road trips, the Sealion 7 ensures you can travel further without range anxiety.
