BYD Korea Begins Deliveries of Mid-Size SUV "Sealion 7" to Customers

On September 11, BYD Korea announced that it has begun delivering its electric mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV), the Sealion 7, to customers.

The first delivery ceremony for the Sealion 7 was held on September 10 at the Dongnae showroom in Busan. The Sealion 7 is the third passenger vehicle model that BYD Korea has introduced to the domestic market. Featuring the latest specifications with the 2026 model year update, it was launched in the Korean market before anywhere else in the world.

The vehicle comes equipped with advanced technologies and premium features, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 SoC (system-on-chip) that integrates an octa-core CPU and a 6th-generation GPU, frequency-variable damping suspension, a camera-based driver monitoring system, a panoramic glass roof covering 2.1 square meters, 50W wireless charging and cooling pad, and a 15.6-inch display.

The Sealion 7 is equipped as standard with a variety of advanced driver assistance safety systems. These include adaptive cruise control that calculates the distance and speed to the vehicle ahead to maintain a safe following distance, lane departure steering assist, rear cross-traffic collision braking assist, front cross-traffic collision braking assist, and a 3D surround view monitor that provides a 360-degree view around the vehicle.

The BYD Sealion 7, equipped with an 82 kWh BYD Blade Battery, has an officially certified driving range of 398 km per charge (combined) according to the Ministry of Environment’s standards. Its cold-weather driving range is 385 km per charge (combined), achieving 96.7% efficiency compared to room temperature, ensuring stable driving distances even in winter.

To facilitate smooth delivery of the Sealion 7 to customers, BYD Korea is proactively providing a subsidy of 1.8 million won, the anticipated amount of the national government subsidy. Although the final subsidy calculation has not yet been completed, this measure enables faster vehicle delivery.

BYD Korea also plans to provide any additional difference that may arise once the national government subsidy is finalized. The launch price of the BYD Sealion 7 is 44.9 million won (excluding electric vehicle subsidies).

Cho Incheol, Head of the Passenger Vehicle Division at BYD Korea, stated, "We are pleased to introduce all three models promised at the brand’s launch to the domestic market," adding, "We hope that BYD’s product lineup will make an even greater contribution to the promotion of eco-friendly mobility in Korea."
