KatadataOTO – The BYD Sealion 7 was officially launched at the IIMS 2025 event. The electric car successfully captured the attention of visitors.
In fact, the EV (Electric Vehicle) received a quite positive reception from visitors at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta.
“So far so good, it (the BYD Sealion 7) has become an attraction in itself,” said Luther T. Panjaitan, Head of Public & Government Relations at BYD Motor Indonesia, at IIMS 2025 on Wednesday (19/02).
For your information, BYD's new electric car comes with a sharp design. Especially on the front side.
A number of aerodynamic lines have been incorporated. This is to make the BYD Sealion 7's appearance seem more dynamic.
The highest variant, the performance model, uses 20-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. This adds to the vehicle's sturdy impression.
Moving to the interior, a 2.1 m panoramic roof is also included. This creates a luxurious impression in the cabin.
In addition, this manufacturer has provided leather-upholstered seats. It is claimed to increase passenger comfort.
Not to be missed is the 15.6-inch head unit. It can be used to access various information and the infotainment system.
On the other hand, to make it easier for the owner, there is a 500-liter trunk capacity when the rear seats are not folded.
Meanwhile, if the seats are folded, a 1,769-liter trunk is available. So you can store many items.
In terms of performance, the BYD Sealion 7 performance type relies on an electric motor with an output of 522 hp and a peak torque of 690 Nm.
