BYD Sealion 7 – Turning Highways Into Stories
Some drives aren’t about where you go, but how you feel along the way. For us, that feeling came on the Gujarat highway, in the company of seafood, sunsets, and the BYD Sealion 7 — an EV that blends outrageous performance with practical touring ability.
Presence That Turns Heads
The Sealion 7 looks like nothing else on the road. With its wide stance, bold Ocean X Face design, and massive 20-inch wheels, it commands attention. On the highway, we caught curious glances everywhere we went.
Inside the Sealion
Step inside, and the cabin could rival a luxury lounge. Nappa leather seats, a panoramic roof, and a 15.6-inch rotating display dominate the space. Dynaudio speakers soundtrack the journey, while a heads-up display and wireless charging keep things modern and practical.
Performance That Thrills
Two motors. AWD. 523hp and 690Nm. Numbers that belong in a supercar, not a five-seat SUV. The Sealion rockets to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, outpacing cars that cost three times as much. Yet, it does so without fuss — silent, smooth, devastatingly quick.
Touring Ready
Range? 567km claimed. In reality, enough to put range anxiety to rest. With 150kW fast charging and even VTOL functionality (yes, you can power appliances from it), the Sealion 7 is more than just a fast EV. It’s a road trip companion.
Verdict
At over ₹50 lakh, it’s not cheap. But the Sealion 7 makes every drive feel like a story — every pitstop, every sunset, every highway sprint. It’s a car you buy with your heart, not your head. And sometimes, that’s exactly the point.
