Electric Coupe-SUV of the Year
BYD Sealion 7 Electric
Going by their numbers on the road, the Sealion 7 is another hit for BYD. It has a sporty, coupe-like roofline with a sloping tailgate, and functional interior. The cockpit features a rotating screen and physical controls that make it user-friendly for drivers new to the brand. The Sealion 7 lineup has two powerful Cat B models (Premium and Performance), along with a recently introduced Cat A variant (Dynamic).

The BYD Sealion 7 is a handsome-looking EV and feels quite premium for its price. Build quality feels solid, the seats are comfortable and plush, and the overall drive is smooth and quiet.Acceleration is one of the highlights. There is plenty of power when needed, but it is still comfortable and easy to drive daily. The cabin is spacious, well equipped and overall feels like very good value for the money.The danish factory Dynaudio system is decent, although personally I expected a little more. I later had the audio improved by a Dynaudio specialist in Ubi and was quite happy with the result.Overall, I�m very happy with the Sealion 7. It has a good balance of looks, comfort, performance and features, and I would recommend it to anyone shopping around this budget.

There are plenty of reviews about driving the Sealion 7 and the instant feel after the ride. But few about the user experience post-purchase which is equally important. For me, the car has plenty of functions and is a comfortable ride. Especially for ICE drivers moving over to EV, the Sealion 7 has the right balance of buttons for ease of use instead of having to go to the monitor for every function like air con adjustments. All this you come to appreciate once you start using the car on a longer term basis. Having owned German cars like the BMW 5 series, Merc E-class and VWs, I must say the post-sales service from Harmony Auto is outstanding. People often forget it is the post-sales service that makes or breaks the user experience.

Verdict
In many ways, the BYD Sealion 7 is the car that today's EV buyers want. It's an SUV, but rather than being boxy, it has a coupe-like roofline. The Sealion 7 also looks distinct, which sets it apart from other similar-looking models.

BYD isn't a premium brand, but the interior will make you assume otherwise. It's well put-together, with plenty of soft-touch materials that add to the refined atmosphere. The standard kit includes a 10.25-inch instrument panel, a 15.6-inch intelligent rotating infotainment display, a 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system, and a panoramic glass roof.

Thanks to the 2,930mm wheelbase and flat rear floor, there's plenty of space for backseat passengers to stretch out. Plus, with a 520-litre boot and a 58-litre frunk, there's lots of room for your shopping as well.

Further enhancing its appeal is the fact that the Sealion 7 is offered in three variants. The range begins with the Cat A-friendly Dynamic, with 100kW (134bhp) and a range of 405km. It's followed by the mid-tier Premium, with 230kW (308bhp) and 380Nm of torque, plus a 480km driving range.

If you seek even more power, there's the top spec Performance variant. In this guise, the Sealion 7 boasts a stout 390kW (523bhp) and a mountain-flattening 690Nm of torque. With such figures, the Sealion 7 hits 100km/h in a stunning 4.5 seconds. Whichever variant you choose, you can be sure that the experience will be a satisfying one.
