The BYD Sealion 7, also sold in China as the BYD Sealion 07 EV (Chinese: 比亚迪海狮07 EV; pinyin: Bǐyǎdí Hǎishī 07 EV), is a battery electric mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by BYD Auto since 2024. It is the first vehicle of the Sealion (海狮; Hǎishī) family of SUV under the Ocean Series product line-up.

History

The Sealion 07 EV was first introduced on 17 November 2023 at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show.[2][3][4][5][6] It was launched at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show in April 2024 and went on sale in the following month.[7] It was developed with the Tesla Model Y as its main competitor benchmark.[8] It first went on sale outside mainland China in Hong Kong in September 2024 as the BYD Sealion 7.[9]

Design and equipment

The Chinese market Sealion 07 EV is based on the e-Platform 3.0 Evo, an evolution of the previous e-Platform 3.0. The notable changes include a 12-in-1 electric drive system, which improves integration over the 8-in-1 of the e-Platform 3.0. It also supports electric motors that spin up to 23,000 rpm, higher than any other motors ever produced by BYD.[7] Like the BYD Seal, the Sealion 07 EV utilizes BYD's cell-to-body (CTB) technology.

The exterior of the Sealion 07 EV features the brand's Ocean Aesthetics design language. The front fascia features the Ocean Series’ signature ‘X face’ motif with U-shaped LED headlights and sculpted curves to evoke ocean waves. The side features flushed door handles and a rounded roofline. The rear fascia features a fastback design with subtle ducktail spoiler, and the Ocean Series’ ‘water-drop’ full-width LED taillights.[10][11]

The interior features a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, a 15.6-inch rotatable touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, dual wireless charging pads, a number of physical buttons on the centre console, high quality materials used for the dashboard, door panels and seats, and optional 12-speaker Dynaudio audio system. The boot space stands at 520 L (18 cu ft) and expands to 1,789 L (63.2 cu ft) when the rear seats folded down. There is a 58 L (2.0 cu ft) frunk storage.[11][12]

The Sealion 07 EV features BYD's new DiSus-C intelligent damping body control system, an adaptive suspension that senses the road condition and reactively adjust the rigidity of the wheel dampers.[2] It is the first BYD vehicle to be equipped with the DiPilot 100 (nicknamed "God's Eye") advanced driver-assistance system (only equipped for the Chinese market), which is reportedly integrated with 12 ultrasonic sensors, 5 mm-wave radars and 11 omniview cameras.[13] It also features Nappa leather upholstery, 50W wireless charger and a 50-inch AR-HUD, with electrochromic sunroof being an optional feature.[14]

Export markets

Outside China, BYD marketed the model as the Sealion 7. In September 2024, the model was introduced in Hong Kong,[15] Mauritius,[16] and Nepal.[17] The European launch of the model was held in October 2024.[18]

The export-market Sealion 7 uses the older e-Platform 3.0 with a 400V electrical architecture, except for the top-spec European version with a 91.3 kWh battery, which is based on the more advanced e-Platform 3.0 Evo featuring an 800V electrical architecture similar to the Chinese-market Sealion 07 EV. The DC fast charging speed is limited to 150 kW for the standard export model, while the top-spec European version supports up to 230 kW, and the Chinese-market model supports up to 240 kW.[15][19]
