Chinese manufacturer BYD loves a car with an ocean-themed name. We’ve already got the BYD Seal, the BYD Dolphin and the plug-in hybrid BYD Seal U.
Now there's the BYD Sealion 7, set to make fresh waves. Or cause a ripple, at least.
Yep, this mid-size electric SUV aims to compete with the likes of the Tesla Model Y – a further reflection of the firm's desire to expand out into the international market, Europe not least. Part of the reason why we can expect a stream of more new vehicles in the future.
And no, despite the name, the number of seats is fixed firmly at 5.
There's 3 trims, starting with the Comfort level and moving up to the Design and Excellence trim. But even the entry-level Comfort trim comes loaded with a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen infotainment system, heated seats for every passenger, as well as a panoramic glass roof.
Every BYD Sealion 7 model also benefits from a heat pump as standard, helping to increase range in winter and extend battery life.
In addition to the impressive range, it supports fast-charging capabilities, allowing you to get the battery from 10% to 80% in about 24 minutes. (Same time it takes to have a coffee!)
Battery size: 82.5kWh / 91.3kWh
Range: 282-312 miles (depending on trim)
Top speed: 134mph
0-62mph time: 4.5 secs (Comfort trim: 6.7 secs)
Boot space: 520-litres
