The BYD SEALION 7 is a premium electric SUV positioned near the top of BYD Pakistan’s passenger-vehicle range. It combines a coupe-inspired roofline with the seating height, cabin space and luggage flexibility expected from a large family SUV. The official Pakistan website lists the Premium variant in Atlantis Grey, Cosmos Black, Aurora White and Shark Grey. Its design is more road-focused and sophisticated than rugged, making it suitable for buyers moving from an executive crossover or premium petrol SUV to a fully electric vehicle.
BYD Pakistan advertises an 82.56 kWh Blade Battery, a driving range of up to 567 km and 0–100 km/h acceleration in as little as 6.7 seconds. These numbers give the SEALION 7 a useful combination of range and performance for daily commuting and longer family travel. The quoted range is an official test-cycle result rather than a guaranteed real-world figure. High motorway speeds, hot weather, air-conditioning demand, gradients, payload and driving style can all change energy consumption. Owners will benefit most from reliable overnight charging and should still plan intercity charging carefully.
Interior space is a major advantage. BYD states that the front luggage compartment offers 58 litres, while the rear boot provides 520 litres and expands to 1,789 litres with the rear seats folded. This makes the SEALION 7 well suited to family holidays, airport runs and bulky shopping. The official equipment highlights premium quilted Nappa leather seats, 128-colour ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof with an electronic shade, a head-up display, wireless phone charging, seat memory and an electric tailgate with hands-free operation. A 12-speaker Dynaudio audio system further supports the premium positioning.
The chassis is designed for comfortable road performance. BYD highlights double-wishbone front suspension, a rear multi-link arrangement and frequency-selective damping to help the SUV remain stable while absorbing changing road surfaces. The immediate response of the electric motor makes overtaking straightforward, while the quiet powertrain and insulated cabin can reduce fatigue in traffic. Despite its SUV format, the SEALION 7 is not presented as a serious off-road vehicle. Its size, wheel design and road tyres are better suited to highways, city roads and maintained routes.
Pakistani buyers should evaluate parking space, charging installation, tyre replacement cost, comprehensive insurance and the availability of trained service support. The vehicle’s larger battery offers good travel potential, but it also means that charging time can be significant on a low-power supply. Public fast charging can reduce waiting, yet charger reliability and queues should be considered during busy travel periods. Buyers should ask the dealer about the supplied cables, wall-charger options, software services, battery warranty and roadside assistance.
The SEALION 7 is a strong fit for families and professionals who want the space of a premium SUV without a petrol engine. It offers more cabin and cargo versatility than the SEAL sedan and a more luxurious, long-range character than the ATTO models. Its higher purchase cost, heavier body and dependence on charging are genuine considerations, but for the right household it can provide a refined, spacious and advanced electric ownership experience in Pakistan.
