2025 BYD Sealion 7 Review : 10 Pros & 8 Cons

The BYD Sealion 7 comes with a 15.6-inch floating rotatable touchscreen infotainment head unit. There’s no lag, and jumping through different options and screens is pretty seamless.

BYD Sealion 7 Pros

• Very good build quality coupled with great fit & finish
• Punchy motor offers fast performance. AWD does the 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds!
• Good high-speed stability coupled with sorted handling
• Spacious and well-built cabin with comfortable seats
• Useable 500-litre boot, along with a 58-litre frunk (in the front)
• Selectable regenerative braking and drive modes allow you to extract maximum performance or efficiency, as needed
• Sufficient driving range of 450+ km for urban commuting as well as the usual road-tripping with family
• Features such as the vehicle-to-load function, soundproof glass, privacy glass, rotating 15.6-inch touchscreen, head-up display, climate control with heat pump, air purifier, panoramic glass roof, adaptive cruise control, NFC key card, reclining rear seats, etc.
• Top-notch safety kit & level 2 ADAS to keep you safe
• Inherent EV advantages such as a green image, zero tailpipe emissions, low running costs (charge at home) & top-notch NVH

BYD Sealion 7 Cons

• 20-inch wheels and low profile tyres means the low speed ride is firm. You feel bad roads
• No option of a lighter-coloured interior theme (cabin is full-black)
• Most functions and settings are controlled through the touchscreen, which makes them difficult to access on the move
• Missing features such as connected car tech, no spare wheel (in India!!!), one-pedal driving, etc.
• 12-speaker DYNAUDIO sound system is good, but not as immersive as some other premium systems
• Poor rearward visibility due to the acutely angled rear windscreen
• BYD's dealership & service network is currently very small
• The usual EV challenges (charging infrastructure, highway range anxiety, setting up home charging etc.)
