The BYD Sealion 7 2025 delivers a new benchmark in the midsize electric crossover segment. It cements its position in the Saudi market by combining elegance, sustainability, and sporty performance, appealing especially to eco conscious drivers. Here is an overview of its sleek exterior, sophisticated interior, electric powertrain efficiency, advanced safety features, and official pricing.
Modern Exterior Design
The Sealion 7 presents a dynamic appearance embodying the Ocean Series identity, crafted by Wolfgang Egger. Its front fascia adopts an X-shaped motif, seamlessly merging a distinctive grille with LED daytime running lights whose height is manually adjustable. Sculpted character lines along the flanks optimize airflow and minimize drag, while flush door handles enhance the sleek profile.
Equipped with electrically adjustable side mirrors offering folding and heating functions, the Sealion 7 adapts effortlessly to changing weather. Mounted on 20 inch alloy wheels, its elegant rear spoiler accentuates the full width LED taillights, and the hands free, power operated tailgate simplifies cargo loading.
Spacious Interior and Connectivity
The BYD Sealion 7 delivers generous room for five occupants through an intelligently laid out cabin. The driver’s seat offers eight way electric adjustment with memory recall and built in ventilation, while the front passenger seat provides six way electric adjustment with integrated cooling. A fold down rear center armrest houses two cup holders for added convenience on longer journeys.
The cabin showcases premium materials alongside sound insulating, heat retaining glass. An electronic curtain atop the panoramic sunroof lets occupants fine tune incoming light. A head up display projects key driving data onto the windshield, helping the driver maintain focus, and dual zone automatic climate control filters particles down to PM2.5 for cleaner air.
Two large screens anchor the cockpit: a 10.25 inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.6 inch touchscreen infotainment panel that rotates electrically to improve ergonomics. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrate smartphones seamlessly, FM and AM radio offer traditional audio options, and a Dynaudio sound system with twelve speakers delivers immersive audio throughout the cabin.
Advanced Electric Performance
The Sealion 7 uses two electric motors that deliver a combined output of 523 hp and 690 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.5 seconds. Its all wheel drive system provides stable launches under varied road conditions, while the single speed transmission guarantees smooth, straightforward operation.
An 82.5 kWh battery pack yields a driving range of up to 456 km on a full charge. Energy consumption averages 21.4 kWh per 100 km, and home charging costs approximately 3.3 SAR per 100 km. The top speed reaches 215 km/h (134 mph), delivering agile and eco-friendly performance for everyday use.
Safety Standards and Driver Assistance
The BYD Sealion 7 employs a comprehensive suite of advanced safety systems to protect both driver and passengers. It features nine strategically placed airbags and Electronic Stability Control fully integrated with an anti lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution. The car also offers hill start assist and hill descent control, as well as front and rear collision warning systems.
To keep the vehicle properly positioned on the road, it provides lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring. Parking becomes effortless thanks to a 360 degree surround view camera system paired with front and rear parking sensors, ensuring precise maneuvering in tight spaces.
Trims and Official Pricing
The BYD Sealion 7 is offered in Saudi Arabia by Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility in two trims. The Premium trim features rear wheel drive and starts at SAR 194,000 (189,987 AED), including VAT, while the Performance trim adds all wheel drive and begins at SAR 214,000 (209,573 AED).
