Category scores

These are our own numbers, not the manufacturer’s stars. The scale runs from 0 to 100, higher is better, and every figure carries a source with a reference date. Which category weighs more for you is something you know better than we do. How these scores work.

  • Fuel economy 58/100
    Fuel economy: 58 of 100. Source and reference date source: WLTP 20.4 kWh/100km (manufacturer figure) vs EV-SUV-coupe segment, indicative · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Sustainability 70/100
    Sustainability: 70 of 100. Source and reference date source: LFP Blade chemistry + BYD battery warranty (8 yr/160,000 km, 70% capacity) + LCA indication ICCT 2024; AWD consumption lowers score · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Practicality 70/100
    Practicality: 70 of 100. Source and reference date source: Boot 520 l + frunk 58 l, no EU towing-weight homologation lowers score (manufacturer figure) · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Reliability not yet rated
    Reliability: insufficient data. Why no score? source: Too recent for reliable data; EU launch October 2024, service network being built up, no representative ADAC breakdown statistics · reference date 2026-05-21
  • Value retention not yet rated
    Value retention: insufficient data. Why no score? source: Too recent for reliable data; BYD brand only briefly in EU, price changes distort the curve · reference date 2026-05-21

Fast charging at a public charger (10→80%)

Fast charging on the road (DC = the rapid charger you find at motorway stops, not home charging): indicative time from 10 to 80 percent, calculated from the specs — not measured by us. Actual time varies with charger, temperature and battery level at the start. The 10→80% window is the standard benchmark because the final stretch (80→100%) deliberately charges slower to protect the battery.
Charging situation10→80% (minutes)
At the car's own maximum charging rate (230 kW) ~ 27
At a 150 kW charger ~ 41
At a 50 kW charger ~ 124
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

Charging at home uses AC power and is slower: a home wallbox typically delivers 7.4 to 11 kW. That is separate from the fast-charge times shown above.

Frequently asked

What does the BYD Sealion 7 cost roughly?

Indicative starting price € 47,990 (reference date 2026-05-21). Not an offer.

What is the WLTP range of the BYD Sealion 7?

502 km WLTP (manufacturer figure). Owners typically report less in everyday driving, especially in cold weather. See the reviews below.

How long does fast-charging the BYD Sealion 7 take (10→80%)?

Roughly 27 minutes on a 230 kW charger (10→80%, factory calculation, indicative). Actual time depends on battery temperature and the charging curve — the car's charging speed drops as the battery fills.

How big is the battery in the BYD Sealion 7?

91.3 kWh usable capacity (manufacturer figure). Check the warranty terms of the specific car for capacity retention.

What does the BYD Sealion 7 use in real-world driving?

The factory WLTP figure is 20.4 kWh/100 km. Owners typically report more in mixed use, with the usual winter penalty. See the owner experiences below.

How much boot space does the BYD Sealion 7 have?

520 litres (manufacturer figure). See the spec sheet for the full dimensions.

In depth

AWD top variant with dual motor, 530 hp, a 91.3 kWh LFP Blade pack and WLTP range 502 km (manufacturer figure). DC charging up to about 230 kW. EU launch at the Paris Motor Show October 2024, deliveries from late 2024. Indicative starting price, check the official configurator for the current figure per version.

About the BYD Sealion 7 (2025)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The Sealion 7 is BYD's mid size electric SUV coupe for EU markets, unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October 2024 with deliveries from late 2024. The EU version uses the e-Platform 3.0 Evo with an 800 V electrical architecture, distinguishing it from the 400 V export variants offered in other regions. The AWD top trim pairs a 91.3 kWh LFP Blade battery with dual motors for 530 hp total and a WLTP range of 502 km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). DC charging peaks at around 230 kW.

In practice

WLTP consumption is around 20.4 kWh/100km (manufacturer figure), reflecting the weight and frontal area of the AWD variant. Owner reports for the Sealion 7 are limited at this stage; first independent road tests in EU outlets place real world figures in the low 20s. The boot holds 520 l with the rear seats up, expanding to 1,789 l with the seats folded, plus a 58 l frunk. Braked towing weight is not homologated by BYD for EU markets at launch; check the official spec sheet for confirmation.

Points to note

The infotainment uses a rotating 15.6 inch central screen running BYD's own software. The 800 V platform enables faster DC charging and lighter cabling, but real charging curves depend on the LFP cell chemistry, which remains slower in cold weather without preconditioning. The BYD service network in EU markets is still being built up; check the nearest service point at the official dealer. The model has been on the EU market too short for an extensive ADAC failure statistic, and the residual value curve is not yet stable.
