They are ALL nice looking. You remind me election campaigns where the most beautiful candidate wins. This has been happening for decades. Many say this about John Kennedy. But coming back to EVs, what about reliability and durability? Doesn't that count anymore? And what about maintenance costs?
I live in Hong Kong and have just pre-ordered my SL7. AWD version is HK$303,180. Standard is HK$268,000 Hong Kong is a right hand drive region. Sales rep advised will take 5-6 months before I will get my car.
I like the ocean nomenclature. I don't mind Sealion. I think BYD should keep the Seagull name, when it comes. Calling it the Mini Dolphin is just confusing.

I’ve been eyeing on the 2025 Model Y for the last 8 months. Since seeing BYD sea lion 07, I’m leaning towards the latter. So much more tech, great looking, has HUD which is a feature I love.
Tesla Y is smaller and has over 900l of boot space. SL7 needs to have at least 700 to be competitive. The boot space on Seal is a massive disappointment compared to Tesla 3. Disclaimer, I proudly drive an Atto 3 with 455l of boot space but need 700l for touring. The 230kW with ~550 range sounds good provided the boot isn't another packaging disappointment. Otherwise I might just buy Model Y LR and be done with. Also Sam, what is the towing capacity? Hopefully at least as good as Tesla Y, Kia EV6 and Ioniq 5 at 1600kg.
What's your issue with the Sealion 6 Viking? If you do any country driving in Aus, EV's are just not practical yet. Sealion 6 seems like a good compromise to me.
I can’t wait to see it reviewed and have a test drive. I will be looking to choose between this and the seal. Though I don’t understand why designers have to put those big black plastic fittings around the wheel arches, I really don’t like the look of it. It makes the wheels look smaller and takes away from the sporty look.
Looks really good but I just saw that the Zeekr 7X will be available here in Australia about the same time. The Zeekr 7X is about the same size as the Sealion 7 but looks a bit higher spec inside and a lot higher spec performance wise with the top spec having AWD with 480Kw and a 100Kwhr battery. It also has roof rails which is high on my list of priorities
The Sealion 6 has just arrived in NZ. Which I thought would mean the Sealion 7 would be right behind it, arriving by the end of 2024 like Australia. However, when I asked about it, I was told “not for the foreseeable future”. Likely due to the end of government rebates and the introduction of road user charges for EVs, sales of BEVs in NZ have fallen off a cliff, so BYD may not be in a hurry to bring the 7 here. It’s a shame because, just like the Model Y is a more practical vehicle than the 3, the Sealion is a more practical family vehicle than the Seal.
Yep those RUCs will kill the EV market in NZ. Victorians were spitting chips over 2.5cents a kilometer and got it overturned. What are Kiwis paying now? 8.5 cents/km with RUC + recording fee ? That is ridiculous.
do we know what the width is of the boot entry? I'd like to be able to squeeze a mountain bike in there. Also as far as price im really hoping base model is circa 45k long range 55 and peformance 60-62k drive away.
Such a good-looking car, I hope this would be in US. This thing also got the inside mechanical door release which is a leapfrog of safety compare to the electric push button door release; which is a single fault failure.
Yangwang means "aspiration" in Chinese. It shows Yangwang's ambition and pursuit for high-end luxury and performance. If you can't comprehend that, you might as well review EVs from other brands to your liking. Yangwang U8 drive away price in China is AUD 270K equivalent. You can't afford it anyway 😅
@@Darky.there are 3 times more people in China than the USA, Canada, UK, Aus & NZ combined. (1.425 billion to 481 million) When 3 out 4 think it is a good name you are the odd one out.
Im waiting for the model Y Juniper release to look at getting my first electric car as a third non ICE vehicle, but I'll definitely be test driving this one as well!
This is my favourite car also. It has a stunning look. I like the boot space, and hopefully will be priced well enough (after the stupid EU tariffs with stupid decision makers). I hope that after it arrives to Budapest, Hungary next year, I'll be still happy after the first trial drive. Counting the months. Viking, pls. keep us posted on your impressions and news about this model.
looks nice, price is nice, BUT seems to have a battery cooling problem. been watching anything on RUclips driving tests , charging needs work, heat is iffy. Range is very nice
BYD cuts some power when draw on LFP is high & heat detection. To cool down battery. It is safety feature. Other cars just draw heck out but battery suffers long term. It may be not great but it protects the life of battery In worse case scenerio, any possible fires
The is nothing wrong with Yangwang, we got used to Hyundai, Mahindra, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Maserati, Peugeot, Lamborghini, Porsche etc.. all must have sounded odd at the beginning..
i am hanging for the SL7. Not sure why BYD do not use One Pedal Driving in their cars here. When they do in China. When do you think they will make it official?
I think BYD's marine names are great - ocean, seal, sealion, dolphin and shark and so on. WHat makes cryptic letters and/or number better? Or names like 'mustang' - a scrawny rabid feral horse.
Looking great, I hope the Sealion 7 will have better manufacturing quality control unlike my Seal Premium very disappointing, feeling like driving a cheap Chinese Car for an expensive EV.
I like both Tesla and BYD. Both are the top EV brands and healthy competition better quality and cheaper prices for us the consumer. EVs are not great in cold countries so Australia is great for EVs!
I think it looks pretty good. I think my Model Y still looks better but my Model Y has FSD! Still no one can say that! FSD is a game changer. But I would buy the SeaLion over a MachE or ID4 or GM! No doubt. I would by Chinese over American besides Tesla any day!
The Sea Lion may be priced the same as the Tesla model Y in Australia but the profit BYD makes per car is probably double the model Y. If BYD doesn't sell many vehicles initially they can cut the price by $5K and still be profitable. Australia is a market BYD is using to test it's strategy of mass western adoption
@@jezza6575 BYD's Automotive Gross Margin (excludes low-margin electronics division) was roughly 10 points higher than Tesla, excluding regulatory credits, in 1Q. Tesla does get more revenue in regulatory credits, more government grants and more in tax subsidies, that inflates their net. But the difference in cost of goods sold and selling price does not give them the same margin. It is right there in their financial statements. And, because Tesla does not have dealers, they get to count retail sales price in their gross, whereas BYD has to use the wholesale price vehicles sell at to dealers (which inflates Tesla's gross vs. BYD). However, Tesla's billions in regulatory credit sales are limited by the amount of people who need to buy credits. Grants are one time. Tesla's net profits are not scalable. So, if BYD sells more cars, at a higher gross margin overall, their profits go up more. If they inflate export prices, margin goes up more.
@@jezza6575 No, you are incorrect. Tesla makes a lot of profit from other automakers paying them for EV credits. That has nothing to do with their vehicle economics. Get your facts straight
@@jezza6575 I think you might find that the profit percentage has dropped significantly here in Australia as the model Y has had a price drop of about $13,000 in the past 12 months. There’s no way he could’ve picked up that $13,000 in efficiency gains in manufacturing.
I have the atto3 on the Uber platform in Sydney after 113,000 kms over notorious Sydney roads no rattles squeaks or noises of any kind the best car I’ve ever owned.
China should use local name for their vehicle instead of Chinese name. For an example, when BYD exports her BYD Sealion 7 to Australia, local Aussie name such as Kangeroo , Dingo or Wallabee should be used. So BYD Sealion 7 would be called BYD Kangeroo in Australia. 😂
Best of all, it comes with an LFP battery! Electric Viking doesn’t know why or how or why Tesla only puts it in RWD models, but he just likes it because he can charge to 100% Why? Who cares! It’s just techno babble! Just enjoy the ride!
IMHO Those people who don't believe war is coming is going for sea lion 6? 1,100 km or 1,000km range hybrid. For those who may worry wars coming full BEV instead of hybrid is way to go...
Hello Sam, Dave here. Am retired and waiting for that non luxury small EV. When will that occur? A small commuter with top speed not less than 80km/h for suburban use. This is second car, and to be reasonably priced. If it is coming, cannot wait (do not need all of that fancy gadget stuff) regards

Rubbish. Tom respected Aussie EV car tester has owned 4 Teslas, still owns 2 but prefers to drive his BYD Seal around Sydney as better in almost every way. He uses the Teslas for long trips due to the Tesla SuperCharging network. Euro NCAP has just downgraded Teslas. Personally I find the Tesla exterior design is stale and interior spartan/cheap. Once Elon gets his 50 billion Tesla will struggle in the face of BYDs model onslaught. Don't see a BYD you like? Just wait a few weeks.. Personally a Seal 06gt would be my choice.

Some people just don’t want an engine. I’ll trade slightly longer road trips for not having to deal with all that mess and fuss.
It's practical for me. Saves a lot of time and money spilled at the gas station. Charging at home for free from my solar panels an cost no time.
The issue with Sealion 6 DM-I is the 3-link rear suspension.
I can’t wait to see it reviewed and have a test drive. I will be looking to choose between this and the seal. Though I don’t understand why designers have to put those big black plastic fittings around the wheel arches, I really don’t like the look of it. It makes the wheels look smaller and takes away from the sporty look.
