Start with what the BYD Sealion 07 is: a 5-door crossover SUV, built from 2024, in the decade the industry is turning electric. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Under the lead of Wolfgang Egger.
Where it came from
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.
Under the skin
the output is 170 kW. On the scales it comes to 2155–2435 kg. That is roughly 79 horsepower per tonne: unhurried — enough for the job, not for the bragging. The wheelbase is 2930 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
In the Byd line-up the BYD Sealion 07 has a clear place: the factory was Xi'an, Shaanxi. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Kia EV6, the Honda e:NP2, the SAIC Motor MG S5 EV. Nearby in the Byd catalogue sit the BYD 8TT and the BYD Atto 2.
