The model
Read full BYD Sealion 7 review
The BYD Sealion 7 isn’t as good to drive as the best in class but otherwise it’s a compelling electric SUV. It has a smart yet practical interior, quiet cruising manners, competitive pricing and a generous equipment list. While we’ve yet to test the rear-wheel-drive Comfort version, we suspect it will be the one to go for because it offers the best value.
The trim
Mid-range Design gets you four-wheel drive and more power (an impressive 523bhp). It also ups your wheel size from 19in to 20in. The official range drops to 283 miles, mind you.
