Overview

Perspective
The Sealion 07 EV was first introduced on 17 November 2023 at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show.[2][3][4][5][6] It was launched at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show in April 2024 and went on sale in the following month.[7] It was developed with the Tesla Model Y as its main competitor benchmark.[8] It first went on sale outside mainland China in Hong Kong as the BYD Sealion 7.[9]
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.[7] 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.[2] 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.[10] It also features Napa leather upholstery, 50W wireless charger and a 50-inch AR-HUD, with electrochromic moonroof being an optional feature.[11]
