The BYD Sealion 7 specifications turn on batteries, motors and how power reaches the wheels. The Dynamic makes 228 hp and 380 Nm from a rear motor. The Premium lifts that to 308 hp with the same 380 Nm. The Performance AWD uses two motors for 523 hp and 690 Nm.
Two battery sizes sit on the sheet. The Dynamic carries a 71.8 kWh pack for a claimed 520 km. Both upper trims use an 82.56 kWh pack. The Premium claims 567 km on it, while the twin motor Performance claims 542 km. Weigh that against each Sealion 7 sticker price.
Drive layout follows the trim. The Dynamic and Premium drive the rear wheels only. The Performance AWD adds a front motor for all wheel drive. The Premium charges at up to 150 kW, doing 10 to 80 percent in about 32 minutes. The Performance accepts up to 230 kW for the same fill in about 24 minutes. Line up the three Sealion 7 forms to compare.
The Sealion 7 measures 4830 mm long with a 2930 mm wheelbase, so cabin space is roomy. It stands 1620 mm tall and 1925 mm wide for a planted stance. The wide track and long wheelbase give it a settled feel at speed. Ground clearance is 170 mm, easy on rough roads. The boot holds 500 litres for a family's kit.
Feature kit spans a large rotating touchscreen, a panoramic roof and several airbags across the range. A head up display and ventilated front seats arrive higher up. Read the figures together and the Sealion 7 reads as a fast, spacious electric SUV.
