The 2025 BYD Sealion 7 is a bold new entry into the electric SUV market, positioned as a larger alternative to the popular BYD Atto 3 and a direct rival to the Tesla Model Y. There are two models grades, priced at $54,990 for the single motor Premium and $63,990 for the dual-motor Performance version.
Undercutting the new-look Tesla Model Y SUV, which currently starts at $55,900, the BYD Sealion 7 EV offers competitive value in this space. Under the skin, it shares a lot with the BYD Seal sedan – which was BYD’s top-selling vehicle in Australia in 2024. That includes the same electrical architecture and underpinnings, with an 82kWh LFP (read: lithium-iron phosphate) battery pack.
High-end tech features like a 15.6-inch infotainment screen, panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera, while a spacious interior and a flat rear floor make it family-friendly, as does a big boot and small frunk.
There are a few rough edges, though. The infotainment system could use more physical buttons for ease of use and there are some quirks in throttle response. But handling and ride qualities have improved since our short test drive in China back in October 2024. With competitive pricing and loads of equipment, the BYD Sealion 7 could tempt buyers away from Tesla – and potentially even Lexus, Volvo and Mercedes – and make a serious splash in the electric mid-sized SUV segment.
