2025 BYD SEALION 7 AUSTRALIA: PRICING, SPECS & ORDER PAGE WALKTHROUGH

EV Channels Review

The BYD Sealion 7 has officially launched in Australia, with pricing and specifications now detailed. The reviewer, Tom, walks through the website configurator, highlighting the Premium and Performance variants. The Premium model starts at $54,900 plus on-roads, while the Performance version is priced at $63,900 plus on-roads. Tom finds the design appealing, noting its similarity to the BYD Seal and its conventional yet sporty SUV aesthetic. Key specifications include an 82.56 kWh Blade battery across both trims, offering a WLTP range of 482 km for the Premium and 456 km for the Performance. The reviewer expresses some concern over the Sealion 7's efficiency compared to the Seal, attributing it to its heavier weight. While the Performance model offers a significant power boost with an additional front motor, the reviewer questions the necessity of 800V architecture in Australia due to the current limited charging infrastructure. The servicing schedule is noted as potentially too frequent for an EV at 12 months, and the warranty structure is described as fragmented. Despite these points, the Sealion 7 is positioned as a competitive option in the Australian EV SUV market, offering strong power and good charging speeds, though paint costs are a notable extra expense.
