The BYD Sealion 7, also sold in China as the BYD Sealion 07 EV (Chinese: 比亚迪海狮07 EV; pinyin: Bǐyǎdí Hǎishī 07 EV), is a battery electric mid-size SUV manufactured by BYD Auto since 2024. It is the first vehicle of the Sealion (海狮; Hǎishī) family of SUVs under the Ocean Series product line-up.

The Sealion 7 was first introduced on 17 November 2023 at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show as the Sealion 07 EV. It was launched at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show in April 2024 and went on sale in the following month. It was developed with the Tesla Model Y as its main competitor benchmark.

The model first went on sale outside mainland China in Hong Kong in September 2024 as the BYD Sealion 7, before rolling out to other Asian markets and Europe later that year.

The model was removed from BYD’s Chinese domestic market line-up in 2026.

The exterior of the Sealion 07 EV features the brand’s Ocean Aesthetics design language. The front fascia features the Ocean Series’ signature ‘X face’ motif with U-shaped LED headlights and sculpted curves to evoke ocean waves. The side features flushed door handles and a rounded roofline. The rear fascia features a fastback design with subtle ducktail spoiler, and the Ocean Series’ ‘water-drop’ full-width LED taillights.

The interior features a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, a 15.6-inch rotatable touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, dual wireless charging pads, a number of physical buttons on the centre console, high quality materials used for the dashboard, door panels and seats, and optional 12-speaker Dynaudio audio system. The boot space stands at 520 L (18 cu ft) and expands to 1,789 L (63.2 cu ft) when the rear seats are folded down. The model is also equipped with a 58 L (2.0 cu ft) frunk storage.

The Chinese market Sealion 07 EV is based on the e-Platform 3.0 Evo, an evolution of the previous e-Platform 3.0. The notable changes include a 12-in-1 electric drive system, which improves integration over the 8-in-1 of the e-Platform 3.0. It also supports electric motors that spin up to 23,000 rpm, higher than any other motors ever produced by BYD. Like the BYD Seal, the Sealion 07 EV utilizes BYD’s cell-to-body (CTB) technology.

The Sealion 07 EV features BYD’s new DiSus-C intelligent damping body control system, an adaptive suspension that senses the road condition and reactively adjust the rigidity of the wheel dampers. It is the first BYD vehicle to be equipped with the DiPilot 100 (nicknamed “God’s Eye”) advanced driver-assistance system (only equipped for the Chinese market), which is reportedly integrated with 12 ultrasonic sensors, 5 mm-wave radars and 11 omniview cameras. It also features Nappa leather upholstery, 50W wireless charger and a 50-inch AR-HUD, with electrochromic sunroof being an optional feature.

Outside China, BYD marketed the model as the Sealion 7. In September 2024, the model was introduced in Hong Kong, Mauritius, and Nepal. The European launch of the model was held in October 2024.

The export-market Sealion 7 uses the older e-Platform 3.0 with a 400V electrical architecture, except for the top-spec European version with a 91.3 kWh battery, which is based on the more advanced e-Platform 3.0 Evo featuring an 800V electrical architecture similar to the Chinese-market Sealion 07 EV. The DC fast charging speed is limited to 150 kW for the standard export model, while the top-spec European version supports up to 230 kW, and the Chinese-market model supports up to 240 kW.
