The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 is around the corner and carmakers are busy either teasing their new cars or announcing their new models for India’s largest motor show. The most recent of these is the BYD Sealion 7 EV which the carmaker has now confirmed will be featured at the 2025 Auto Expo. The Sealion 7 EV has been on sale in some overseas markets for some time and here’s everything you can expect from this electric SUV in its India-spec avatar.
BYD Sealion 7: Exterior
The internationally available BYD Sealion 7 has an exterior design that is similar to the BYD Seal that was introduced in India in March 2024. It will get the same headlight units as the Seal EV, a blanked-off grille and a blacked-out rear bumper. It can feature up to 20-inch alloy wheels, flush-type door handles and a black rugged cladding above the wheel arches that runs across the length of the body.
The highlight, however, is the tapered roofline which gives it an SUV-coupe look. It will get connected LED tail lights that are similar to the Seal EV with pixel design elements. The rear bumper also will get a black portion which rounds up the rugged nature of this SUV.

BYD Sealion 7: Interior
The interior of the BYD Sealion 7 is premium and made out of multiple materials.. It comes with the rotatable 15.6-inch touchscreen as the Seal and gets a new gloss black panel that runs from one AC vent to the other and houses the 10.25-inch digital driver’s display. The 4-spoke steering wheel boasts controls for the audio system and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The centre console, however, is the same as the Seal and houses the drive selector knob, buttons for drive and terrain modes, two cupholders and a centre armrest.
The seats are finished in white leatherette upholstery all of which come with 3-point seatbelts and adjustable headrests. The rear seat passengers also get AC vents and a centre armrest.
Other features include a panoramic glass roof, a heated steering wheel, heated, ventilated and power-adjustable front seats (with adjustable lumbar support) dual-zone auto AC, vehicle-to-load (V2L) ambient lighting, a head-up display (HUD) and a 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system. We can expect a lot (if not all) of features to be offered with the India-spec model.
On the safety front, it can come with 9 airbags, a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, ISOFIX child seat mounts and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). It can also come with some ADAS features like adaptive cruise control and rear collision warning.
