Overview
The 2026 BYD Sealion 7 Premium is a 5-seat electric SUV with a single motor driving the rear wheels. It's $54,990 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. It runs an 82.6kWh battery for a 482km (WLTP) range, and DC fast charging peaks at 150kW. We don't have a braked towing capacity for it yet, so that's a figure to chase up if you plan to hitch anything. It suits a family going electric that wants a decent 500-litre boot and enough range for a weekend away.

The real fuel/energy cost once you hitch up. Pick a trailer and trip.
⚠ Not every limit could be checked: the manufacturer publishes no GCM or towing capacity for this vehicle, so this verdict rests only on the limits that are published.
Estimate only: consumption rises as range falls; real use varies with terrain, wind and load.
Off-Road Capability
The wedges are drawn from this vehicle’s published approach, departure and breakover angles, and the water line marks its published wading depth.
Unladen figures. Approach, departure and breakover angles and ground clearance all reduce once the vehicle is loaded with passengers, cargo or towball weight, so treat these as a best-case guide.
Manufacturer-published figures, shown as a guide. Not independently verified and may vary by variant, trim, tyre or model year. Vehicle drawings are schematic and ride-height differences are exaggerated for legibility. Confirm with the manufacturer before relying on them for off-road planning.

Balanced profile
Rear
115mm wall
255/45 R19
Low-ish profile
Staggered means the rear tyres are a different size from the fronts, so they can't be rotated front to back.
Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file. Actual prices vary by brand, retailer and fitting.

The 2026 BYD Sealion 7 Performance is a five-seat electric SUV with all-wheel drive and an auto, priced from $63,990 RRP, which is before on-road costs. It runs an 82.6kWh battery with a claimed WLTP range of 456km, uses 21.4kWh/100km and takes DC fast charging at a peak of 150kW. Boot space is 500 litres with the seats up, and it has 390kW of motor output and 690Nm, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 4.5 seconds. Unbraked towing is 750kg, but we don't have the braked towing capacity on record yet, so check that if you plan to tow anything big. It suits someone after a quick family-sized EV that can handle the school run and longer trips.
