BYD Sealion 7 gets a price hike from January 2026

BYD India has announced that prices for the Sealion 7 electric SUV will increase from January 1, 2026. The company stated that customers who book the vehicle on or before December 31, 2025, will continue to receive current ex-showroom prices, effectively creating a year-end window before revised rates take effect.

BYD Sealion 7: Current pricing

The Sealion 7 is currently offered in two variants and is priced as follows:

• Sealion 7 Performance (82.56 kWh): ₹54,90,000 (ex-showroom)
• Sealion 7 Premium (82.56 kWh): ₹48,90,000 (ex-showroom)

BYD Sealion 7: 2,000 units already sold

The Sealion 7 was first shown to the public at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. Since then, BYD reports that the model has crossed 2,000 units in cumulative sales. The company attributes this early traction to growing interest in premium EVs offering long range and higher performance.
