You can see Egger’s influence with a sleek “Ocean Aesthetics” exterior design. The interior features a 15.6″ rotating touchscreen and a 10.25″ driver display. It’s also loaded with DiPilot 100 “God’s Eye” ADAS. The system includes 12 ultrasonic radars, five mm-wave radars, and 11 cameras for advanced drive-assist features.
Extending BYD’s reach in Europe
With DC fast charging of up to 230 kW, the EV can charge up (10% to 80%) in 24 minutes to get you back on the road.
BYD’s new Sealion 07 “knows how to make every journey effortless.” It can carry up to 1,789 L of luggage (with the rear seats folded down) and tow up to 3,300 lbs (1,500 kg), plenty for a small boat or trailer.
The electric SUV was first launched in China in May as the Sea Lion 7, starting at around $26,000 (189,900 yuan). BYD’s base Standard Range model offers up to 341 miles (550 km) CLTC range in China. The Long Range trim, starting at $27,600 (199,800 yuan), gets up to 379 miles (610 km) CLTC range.
At 4,830 mm long, 1,925 mm wide, and 1,620 mm tall, BYD’s new electric SUV is often compared to the Tesla Model Y (4,760 mm long, 1,921 mm wide, and 1,624 mm tall).

According to data from The Norwegian Council for Road Safety (OFV), Tesla’s Model Y is the best-selling EV in the country through October, with nearly 13,500 units sold. The Volvo EX30 (6,215), Volkswagen ID.4 (5,789), Tesla Model 3 (5,433), and Toyota bZ4X (5,372) round out the top five through the first ten months of 2024.
The Sealion 07 is BYD’s eighth vehicle to launch in Europe, joining the popular Dolphin, Seal, Seal U, and Atto 3 models.
BYD’s executive vice president, Stella Li, said the new midsize electric SUV “shows how BYD is reacting to customer demand and tastes.” Li believes it will “extend” BYD’s reach in Europe.
According to data from CnEVPost, BYD sold 19,232 Sealion series models in October alone, up 65% from September.
European deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2025. Can BYD’s new electric SUV compete with Tesla’s Model Y or the Volvo EX30? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
