KatadataOTO – Despite offering no discounts, BYD remains confident at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2025. They have also partnered with several financing companies to make it easier for customers to make a purchase.
This is important because IIMS is known as an event for purchasing vehicles, especially in the first semester. So it's natural that manufacturers don't want to miss the opportunity to increase their sales figures.
One of the promotions offered by financing companies for the purchase of a BYD car is an installment plan with 0 percent interest. In addition, customers will also receive a gift in the form of a charging quota worth IDR 1.2 million.
Every purchase of a BYD car will include tire insurance worth IDR 1 million and 24-hour emergency services. With this, it is hoped that the public will be interested in getting a unit.
Besides providing purchasing convenience, BYD is also using IIMS 2025 to expand the number of vehicles they sell. This is because they are launching their newest product, the Sealion 7.
This car comes in two types: Premium and Performance. However, the differences are quite difficult to see.
This is because both come with a sharp design, especially on the front side. Several aerodynamic lines have been embedded to make the vehicle's appearance seem more dynamic.
The luxurious impression is enhanced as the car is equipped with a 2.1 m2 Panoramic Roof. However, on the Premium type, the rim size is only 19 inches, while the Performance is 20 inches.
Besides the rims, another difference is the vehicle's performance. Although using a battery with the same capacity, the power produced by the Premium type is considerably smaller, at only 308 hp and 380 Nm of torque.
With this, the car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km per hour in 6.7 seconds. Meanwhile, its range is 567 km on a single charge.
The Performance type offers more power, at 522 hp and 690 Nm of torque. With this, the car can reach 100 km per hour in 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 215 km per hour.
That performance comes at the cost of range, reducing it to just 542 km.
