2025 BYD Sealion 7 price and specs

BYD, Australia’s second most popular electric vehicle (EV) brand, is gunning for the top-selling Tesla Model Y.

The BYD Sealion 7 mid-sized electric SUV is on sale now, priced from $54,990 before on-road costs.

It takes on not only the Model Y, but also a growing contingent of Chinese rivals including the Deepal S07, Leapmotor C10 and Xpeng G6.

Just one battery is available – a large 82.56kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pack – but there’s a choice of single-motor rear-wheel drive (Premium) or dual-motor all-wheel drive (Performance) configurations.

Both variants have largely the same list of standard equipment, though the Performance includes a few extra niceties like heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel.
