Published on:

The BYD Sealion 7 is storming India’s electric vehicle market as a sleek, performance-packed mid-size crossover SUV from global giant BYD Auto. The full battery-electric powerhouse is a work of future-forward design, cutting-edge tech and stellar efficiency — and comes off as a direct competitor to the Tesla Model Y or Kia EV6 at launch on February 17, 2025. 

With a starting price of ₹48.90 lakh, the BYD Sealion 7 can travel up to 567km by ARAI standards.The above figures make it an interesting option for both city commuters and long range riders as well. With over 1,000 bookings within days of its reveal, the BYD Sealion 7 underscores BYD’s aggressive push into premium EVs, backed by innovative Blade Battery tech and a suite of ADAS features.

BYD Sealion 7 Features: Futuristic Design and Luxe Interiors

The coupe-like profile and aerodynamic features of the BYD Sealion 7 is a sight to behold, tracing its lines from every angle – gloss-black nose, full-width LED light bar, flush door handles and sophisticated C-shaped DRLs which scream sophistication. A cranked up diffuser, big sporty spoiler and fat 20-inch aero style alloys fill up the bulk of what is required for it to look sporty and glide on Indian roads. Inside, the cabin exudes minimalism with a dual-tone dashboard, flat-bottom steering wheel equipped with haptic touchpads, and a crystal gearshift lever for that premium touch.

Tech heads will swoon for the 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen infotainment system combined with a 10.25-inch driver’s digital display and AC controls that are not only responsive, but intuitive to use. Convenience is king, too, with ventilated front seats providing memory, lumbar and height adjust; a generous rear bench that can recline plus boast flat flooring for added room; while an electric blind stretches across the panoramic sunroof. 

Practicality shines through 500-litre boot space (expandable via 60:40 folding seats), a 50-litre frunk, and V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) capability for powering external devices. Features like 99.99% HEPA air filtration and recycled material eco-leather upholstery also help make it an attractive EV for families.

Safety is top priority with 11 airbags, a bird’s-eye view camera, ABS with EBD, TCS, hill-hold assist and comprehensive ADAS suite including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping aid – which should see the Staria achieve a five-star rating.
