BYD Sealion 7 Exterior 

The Sealion 7’s fascia takes heavy inspiration from the Seal. It features a blanked-out grille, LED headlights that seem inspired by the Seal, and sharp cuts on the bumper, giving it an aggressive look. 

The red brake calliper behind the dual-tone alloy wheels further adds to the overall aggressive look of the SUV. The roof tapers towards the back gives the Sealion 7 an SUV-coupe appearance. It also gets flush door handles that electronically pop out. BYD will offer the Sealion 7 in four exterior shades: Atlantis Grey, Cosmos Black, Aurora White, and Shark Grey. 

Along with a roof-mounted spoiler, the Sealion 7 also gets a second lip-mounted spoiler. Other design aspects include wrap-around connected tail lamps and a chunky bumper.

The Sealion 7’s layered dashboard gets a heated four-spoke steering wheel with audio and ADAS controls. The main highlight here is the large touchscreen infotainment system that takes up plenty of real estate.  The lower centre console features the drive mode selector along with a wireless charger and two cupholders. The seats of the Sealion 7 are upholstered in pure leather.

In terms of features, the Sealion 7 gets ventilated front seats, a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, and a 10.25-inch digital driver display.
