BYD Sealion 7

Any prices released yet ? I heard end of March.

I’ll be trading in my Seal excellence for one of these as soon as possible.

End of March I was just told also. Hoping it's not a big jump from the Seal

The big lumps of plastic body trim front, back and wheel arch (like the BZ4X) take away from it, you'd be forever treating it to keep it from not looking faded.

German prices

Comfort 45,586 EUR

Design AWD 50,279 EUR

Excellence AWD 52290 EUR

so maybe add a few k for delivery charges?

Looks great in this colour.

Take a look at Bjorn's side-by-side comparison.

I went to see both in the showroom, but I didn't drive them. IMO the Sealion 7 is better looking, I think it would age better. Sealion interior looks and feels nicer. Sealion steering wheel is better. Sealion has Head-up display spending on spec. The infotainment is larger than G6 but G6 software UI is a bit more user friendly. I largely agree with Bjorn's opinions but to me the Sealon's seats felt more comfortable.
I plan to drive both in the coming weeks.

Here's a ChatGPT TLDR of Bjorn's video.

Drat how did i miss Bjorn's side-by-side comparison?? thats excellent and TY for the Chatgp summary. :)

I contacted BYD in Galway and they too have a left hand drive as a showroom model. Offical launch is April 1st and soon after they will have a right hand drive demo in early April. Pricing will be announced on launch day. Deliveries from end of April onwards.

must be for the AWD version, RWD is 45k in germany no way thats 54k here.

Yup, the market's not going to support an entry level crossover at 54K.

So…37k/45k?
