BYD Sealion 7 Prices To Be Increased in India From January 1

The BYD Sealion 7 is available in RWD and AWD versions, both equipped with an 82.6kWh battery. It has two variants: Premium and Performance

The BYD Sealion 7 was, without question, the biggest disruptor in this year’s annual track day lineup. As we noted in our comparison with the Ioniq 5 and iX1, if you want a head-turning design, cutting-edge technology, and strong performance on a budget, this is it. It’s a statement car – designed to challenge the premium German brands – and as is evident from the jury scores, it comes dangerously close in several areas.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/byd-sealion-7-first-drive-review-is-this-the-best-byd-ev-yet-2025-india-autox-120381/">BYD Sealion 7 | First Drive Review | Is This the Best BYD EV Yet? | 2025 India | autoX</a>

Its strengths are immediately evident. The Sealion 7 earned an impressive 4/5 for both quality and refinement, confirming what the cabin already suggests: its well-finished metal accents and premium, soft-touch materials are on par with established European rivals. That’s a remarkable feat. Visually, it’s a ‘masterpiece,’ as one jury member noted, and its 3.5/5 design score reflects the fact that it’s the biggest head-turner in its class – combining aesthetics with function in a way few rivals do.

In terms of performance, it tells a familiar EV story. The 4/5 ratings for both refinement and drivetrain highlight its instant, effortless acceleration, which is so addictive. But that straight-line surge doesn’t help it much on the track. Its 1:12.4 lap time, identical to that of the far less powerful Creta EV, and a tenth slower than the iX1’s, is respectable but not class-leading. The Sealion 7 is quick, but it isn’t a true driver’s car like its German rival.

It’s in everyday usability that the Sealion 7 shows its compromises. Ergonomics and practicality take a hit, reflected in its modest 3/5 score. Details like the all-black interior that turns into a sauna under the sun, limited rearward visibility, and finicky electronics – such as the overzealous Driver Fatigue Monitor and the rotating screen that moves during cornering – detract from the overall experience.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/byd-sealion-7-gets-5-star-safety-rating-from-euro-ncap-watch-video-120374/">BYD Sealion 7 Gets 5-star Safety Rating from Euro NCAP: Watch Video</a>

Ultimately, the Sealion 7 is a value powerhouse, scoring big where it matters most. It’s a high-tech, high-style proposition that trades some ergonomics and practicality for a strong ‘wow’ factor – although curiously, that didn’t translate into a high X-factor score from the jury. Still, it proves one thing beyond doubt – you no longer need to pay German prices to enjoy a genuinely premium experience. And that, in itself, is a major win.

BYD Sealion 7 at autoX Awards: Best Cars of 2025 Ranked

The BYD Sealion 7 offers strong value with its tech and style, but it does sacrifice some ergonomics and practicality along the way.

The arrival of electric powertrains has made even MPVs a lot more exciting, thanks to the instantaneous torque delivery of an electric motor. A case in point is BYD’s eMAX 7 – a successor to the e6. Yes, it has three rows of seating and is made for large families. And yet, the way it shoots off the line will surprise anyone who mistakes it for a sluggish people-mover.

Compared to its predecessor, the eMAX 7 has an extra row of seating, making it more flexible. Although the space in the third row is not ideal and is best suited for children, it does offer the flexibility of ferrying more passengers. The feature list is quite decent and includes the signature rotating touchscreen in the middle of the dashboard, and ventilated front seats. Now, despite a refreshed interior and added equipment, the cabin’s quality levels aren’t particularly impressive. There are many hard plastic surfaces that look out of place in a car that costs nearly ₹30 lakh.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/byd-emax-7-review-the-new-choice-for-families-118827/">BYD eMAX 7 Review: The New Choice for Families?</a>

Most of the updates are concentrated inside. Externally, the eMAX 7’s dimensions have grown slightly, and the visual tweaks are modest. It looks a bit more upmarket, but the e6 didn’t set a high bar to begin with. It’s still unlikely to turn heads or make anyone stop for a second look.

The eMAX 7 comes with multiple modes to fine-tune driving and regenerative braking behaviour. In its natural state, it’s a relaxed cruiser, with a comfortable suspension, light steering, and an easy-going demeanour. Despite being a comfortable, spacious, and family-friendly MPV, the eMAX 7 handles well when pushed – it remains composed at highway speeds, with commendable stability and enough punch, considering its weight. In fact, it even managed to edge out the supposedly sportier Mahindra BE 6 in a time attack – although only by a tenth of a second.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/byd-emax-7-review-no-comparison-to-toyota-innova-all-electric-mpv-2024-india-ev-autox-118816/">BYD eMax 7 Review | No Comparison to Toyota Innova? | All Electric MPV | 2024 India EV | autoX</a>

However, it’s not exactly a value proposition, especially when compared to its ICE-powered rivals. Still, it’s definitely a step forward in the right direction as compared to the e6.

BYD eMax 7 at autoX Awards: Best Cars of 2025 Ranked

The BYD eMAX 7 offers multiple modes to adjust driving and regen braking. Though a spacious MPV, it maintains good handling even when driven hard.

Considering the immense popularity of kei cars in Japan, BYD made a surprising debut at the ongoing mobility event with the Racco, its first kei-class electric car. The Racco measures 3,395mm in length, 1,475mm in width, and 1,800mm in height,&nbsp;perfectly fitting within the strict size limits for kei cars. It is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2026, marking BYD’s formal entry into Japan’s highly competitive small EV segment. Kei cars enjoy massive appeal among Japanese buyers owing to their affordability, compact dimensions, and suitability for urban driving. They reportedly accounted for 33.4% of total passenger car sales in the first half of 2025. With the launch of the Racco, it will be interesting to see how<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/byd/"> BYD</a> positions its debut model in such a competitive market. For now, let’s take a closer look at the details of the BYD Racco.&nbsp;<h2>BYD Racco: Design</h2>The BYD Racco has the traditional kei car proportions and styling. The short hood and upright windshield offer a distinctly boxy silhouette while maintaining a compact footprint.&nbsp;There are C-shaped LED lighting signatures at both ends, while the sides are clean and flat, complemented by a rising window line and fin-shaped rear pillars.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/byds-yangwang-u9-xtreme-becomes-first-electric-car-to-break-7-minute-nurburgring-lap-record-121999/">BYD’s YangWang U9 Xtreme Becomes First Electric Car to Break 7-Minute Nurburgring Lap Record</a>The near-vertical tailgate ensures practicality with minimal rear overhang. Other highlights include&nbsp;sliding doors and&nbsp;15-inch alloy wheels.<h2>BYD Racco: Interior</h2>The Racco’s interior shows intelligent design and user-centric innovation. It accommodates four passengers and offers a clean, minimalist look. There’s a digital cockpit combining a compact driver display&nbsp;with a free-standing infotainment system.&nbsp;<h2>BYD Racco: Powertrain</h2>BYD confirmed that its upcoming Racco kei EV will feature a front-wheel-drive layout powered by the company’s advanced Blade lithium iron phosphate battery.&nbsp;Buyers will be able to choose between two battery sizes.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/tesla-model-y-india-launch-compared-to-ioniq-5-ev6-bmw-ix1-lwb-byd-sealion-7-121236/">Tesla Model Y India Launch: Compared to Ioniq 5, EV6, BMW iX1 LWB &amp; BYD Sealion 7</a>One of the configurations is expected to include a 20kWh LFP battery pack, capable of delivering approximately 180 kilometres of WLTC-certified range.&nbsp;Thanks to the 100 kW fast-charging capability, recharging sessions should be brief and efficient.&nbsp;

BYD Racco Debuts as the Brand's First Kei-Class Electric Car in Japan

The BYD Racco measures 3,395mm in length, 1,475mm in width, and 1,800mm in height. It is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2026, marking BYD’s formal entry into Japan’s highly competitive small EV segment. 

BYD’s YangWang U9 Xtreme EV has become the first electric vehicle to complete a lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife in under seven minutes. Covering the 20.832km circuit in 6 minutes 59.157 seconds, the U9 Xtreme now holds the record as the fastest electric production sports car at the German track. The achievement is the result of months of testing and development, combining advanced engineering with professional racing expertise to extract maximum performance from the hypercar. Before its Nurburgring record, the U9 Xtreme had recorded a top speed of 496.22km/h on a German test track earlier in 2025, establishing itself as one of the fastest production electric vehicles worldwide.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bharat-mobility-expo-2025-byd-yangwang-u8-with-emergency-floating-feature-showcased-119627/"> Bharat Mobility Expo 2025: BYD Yangwang U8 with Emergency Floating Feature Showcased</a>The record lap was set by professional racer Moritz Kranz in August 2025. Kranz, with extensive experience in GT racing, worked closely with BYD’s engineering team to prepare the car for the circuit’s mix of fast straights, sharp corners, and elevation changes. Development of the U9 Xtreme began in mid-2024 and involved multiple simulations and track tests aimed at optimising performance for the demanding layout of the Nurburgring.The U9 Xtreme uses four electric motors that together produce about 2,959bhp and power all four wheels. Its 1,200-volt electrical system ensures rapid power delivery and consistent acceleration. The car also features an adaptive suspension system that continuously adjusts to the track's conditions, maintaining control in every section of the circuit. These technologies combined enabled the U9 Xtreme to achieve its record time.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/byd-yangwang-u9-xtreme-ev-breaks-world-production-car-speed-record-at-49622kmh-121841/">BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme EV Breaks World Production Car Speed Record at 496.22km/h</a>The sub-seven-minute lap and nearly 500km/h top speed show the strong performance potential of electric hypercars. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/byd/">BYD</a> intends to produce only about 30 units of the U9 Xtreme. Despite the limited run, Nurburgring regulations classify it as a production car, giving official status to the record.

BYD’s YangWang U9 Xtreme Becomes First Electric Car to Break 7-Minute Nurburgring Lap Record

BYD’s YangWang U9 Xtreme, producing almost 2,959bhp, becomes the first electric car to lap the Nurburgring in under seven minutes, setting a new EV record.

The BYD Yangwang U9 Xtreme has smashed the global production car top-speed record, reaching an astonishing 496.22km/h at Germany’s ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg track on 14 September 2025. This achievement eclipses the previous record of 490.4 km/h set by the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, establishing the U9 Xtreme as the world’s fastest production vehicle. The feat marks a significant milestone for electric hypercars. Powered by an advanced 1200V electrical system, notably higher than the standard 800V systems in many electric vehicles, the U9 Xtreme benefits from BYD’s latest lithium iron phosphate Blade Battery with a 30C discharge rating. Its quartet of electric motors, each spinning up to 30,000rpm, combine to deliver over 2,959bhp. Specially engineered semi-slick tyres and the sophisticated DiSus-X suspension ensure exceptional stability during ultra-high-speed runs.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/byd-atto-2-electric-suv-spied-testing-in-india-is-it-the-brands-next-big-bet-121371/">Tesla Model Y India Launch: Compared to Ioniq 5, EV6, BMW iX1 LWB &amp; BYD Sealion 7</a>Based on BYD’s Yangwang U9 model sold in China, this exclusive version is limited to just 30 units globally. Aerodynamic enhancements such as a prominent rear wing and aggressive front splitter boost downforce to maintain grip at extreme velocities. The car’s chassis incorporates pneumatic and air suspension technology fine-tuned for high-speed handling, enabling a Nürburgring lap time of 6 minutes 59 seconds, an impressive benchmark in its class.German professional racer Marc Basseng piloted the record-breaking run, highlighting the electric powertrain’s smooth and uninterrupted acceleration compared to traditional combustion engines. The consistent power delivery allowed him to precisely focus on track conditions, with the attempt carefully staged by gradually warming the specially designed tyres before a full-throttle sprint.With a power-to-weight ratio of 1,200bhp per tonne, substantially higher than the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+’s 897bhp per tonne, the U9 Xtreme also features an advanced torque vectoring system. This technology adjusts power to each wheel up to 100 times per second, maximising traction and stability.

BYD India Hits Major Milestone with 10,000 Electric Vehicle Deliveries

BYD India has crossed 10,000 electric vehicle deliveries since 2021, growing its network to 44 dealerships to boost sustainable mobility nationwide.

BYD appears to be preparing for a new addition to its EV portfolio in India, as a camouflaged electric SUV, believed to be the Atto 2, was recently spotted undergoing road tests. This marks the model’s first appearance on Indian roads and hints at a potential launch in the coming months. Positioned below the Atto 3 in the brand’s lineup, the Atto 2 is expected to rival upcoming compact EVs such as the Hyundai Creta EV, Mahindra BE 6, Tata Curvv EV, and Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara. Sold globally under names like Yuan Up and Yuan Pro, the Atto 2 is based on BYD’s e-platform 3.0 and is equipped with a 45.1kWh Blade battery and a motor that produces around 175bhp. It promises a real-world driving range of up to 400 km.<h2>Here’s What We Know About BYD’s Potential Creta EV Rival </h2>First revealed at the 2025 Brussels Motor Show, the Atto 2 is more compact than the Atto 3, measuring 4,310mm in length with a 2,620mm wheelbase. It is shorter by 145mm and narrower by 45mm, which gives it a more urban-friendly footprint. The exterior features connected LED taillights, a boxy silhouette with upright proportions, a raised rear spoiler, and angular design elements. A faux diffuser finished with silver accents adds to the sporty appeal at the back.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/byd-atto-3-hits-major-milestone-with-10-lakh-units-sold-globally-121069/">BYD Atto 3 Hits Major Milestone with 10 Lakh Units Sold Globally</a> The heavily camouflaged test vehicle seen in India does not reveal much detail, but its overall proportions and lighting cues suggest it will closely resemble the international model. The Atto 2 is currently offered globally with a front-wheel-drive (FWD) layout and a single electric motor powered by the Blade battery. The standard variant delivers up to 380 km of range, while a long-range version is claimed to offer 402 km under NEDC standards. Inside the cabin, the Atto 2 gets an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, leatherette upholstery, a crystal-style gear selector, a 12.8-inch rotatable touchscreen infotainment unit, and wireless charging.
