BYD India, a subsidiary of the world’s leading New Energy Vehicle (NEV) manufacturer BYD, has announced a scheduled price increase for its premium electric SUV, the BYD SEALION 7, effective from January 1, 2026. The company stated that customers booking the electric SUV on or before December 31, 2025, will continue to benefit from the current ex-showroom prices.
At present, the BYD SEALION 7 is offered in two variants — the Premium (82.56 kWh) priced at ₹48.90 lakh, and the Performance (82.56 kWh) priced at ₹54.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The price revision, scheduled for early 2026, comes amid rising demand and growing acceptance of the model in the Indian electric vehicle market.
Since its unveiling at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, the BYD SEALION 7 has crossed 2,000 units in sales across India, highlighting strong consumer interest in the premium electric SUV segment. The milestone reflects increasing preference for high-performance, technology-driven, and sustainable mobility solutions among Indian buyers.
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Rajeev Chauhan, Head of Electric Passenger Vehicles (EPV) Business at BYD India, said the SEALION 7 has resonated strongly with customers nationwide. He added that the company wants to ensure prospective buyers can still access the current pricing before the revision, while BYD continues to expand its dealership network and strengthen customer engagement across the country.
The BYD SEALION 7 is powered by advanced iTAC (Intelligence Torque Adaption Control) and CTB (Cell-to-Body) technology, integrating BYD’s Blade Battery as a structural component of the chassis. This architecture enhances safety, driving dynamics, and cabin space. The SUV features an 82.56 kWh battery pack, delivering a range of 542 km in the Performance variant and 567 km in the Premium variant (NEDC). Acceleration figures stand at 0–100 km/h in 4.5 seconds for the Performance trim and 6.7 seconds for the Premium version. The vehicle also boasts a 5-star NCAP safety rating.
BYD India currently operates 47 showrooms across 40 cities, ensuring wider access to its electric vehicle portfolio and enhanced customer experience. Globally, BYD has sold over 14 million NEVs, significantly contributing to carbon emission reduction and reinforcing its leadership in sustainable mobility.
With the upcoming price revision, BYD aims to encourage early bookings while continuing its commitment to delivering advanced, high-performance electric mobility solutions in India.
