BYD is becoming quite popular in Middle east & central asian countries like uzbek, gerorgia, azerbaijan....I drove sealion in uzbek and it was premium & drive-ability is phenomenal.

[@unni.m1959]

I love byd only beacause of its conventional looks.

[@VikasBaliyan]

Difference between tata/mahindra and BYD in design capabilities is too big, BYD is biggest treat to Toyota/Tesla/VW while indian OEM are not visible anywhere on global auto arena, mahinda new EV range is too crude in design to compete gbobally

[@balanv6179]

BYD is best with its patented blade battery technology.

[@Indian23772]

Now compare it with Tata/Mahindra designs, not sure why they have substandard designers.

[@nilimas5627]

BYD Chief automotive designer Wolfgang Egger

[@AnonymousPirate98]

This is not an SUV 😭 It's a very Long Hatchback ☠️

[@User540a]

station wagon. for the record, 90% of 'SUV's' are just raised hatches.

[@AnonymousPirate98]

@User540a Yes, But this doesn't even have that SUV stance or Station Wagon's Usability

[@varun2250]

​@@AnonymousPirate98Volvo V90 is a good station wagon. Tho it's unfortunate that model has been discontinued after volvo's ownership transfer

[@gokuljosh1186]

Any news on seagull?

[@utkrishtutkrisht]

The Sealion ate it.

[@OmFreeRadical]

@utkrishtutkrisht 🦭 : yes i did

[@varun2250]

​@utkrishtutkrisht😢

[@sushovannayek9816]

Dashboard is looking like a cockpit... nice luxury interior ❤❤❤❤

[@sajanbabu8101]

World champion,, BYD 🎉🎉🎉

[@dangerousdpak]

Don't call it SUV with 160 mm ground clearance

[@povharsh]

i think it looks like hot hatch

[@vm-my6hg]

Crossover

[@vectravv6]

SUV in floor scrapping technology

[@autotravelography284]

It is baleno

[@rewwi10]

Their hybrid is great. Should have brought that.

[@VikasBaliyan]

price please for AWD

[@gokulm7297]

How much ex showroom price?

[@devahlwt]

Long awaited, seal had low clearance is justified for a saloon but for this suv ground clearance is very low

[@dhimandeka2344]

Back seat occupancy looks very dull, it would have been nice to introduced two tone colour option. As it makes interior a little more airy & spacious 🙃

[@alburaq3290]

Yeah these black interiors look depressing

[@rassvet1612]

Premium cars almost always come with all black interiors

[@mrsam2944]

Byd will be next Toyota

[@sammathew1127]

Looks ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Bastillemoteurs]

"Sea Lion" and "Sea Gull"-are these types of watercraft? Those are unusual names for cars!

[@AnkitSingh7]

Unless they undercut the Ioniq 5 by a decent amount, not sure why one would get this.

[@PsychedMedia]

In most markets in the world its much much cheaper than ioniq5

[@lourdesjohn261]

Will never buy a car from a country run by dictatorship.

[@Sai123-s6f]

BYD CARS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE

[@Tushar_5009]

163mm ground clearance and its a SUV😂😂

[@viveklogani]

163 is unladen, laden is 140 mm (even better..)

[@VGSoniTech]

Guess the price 1cr😂

[@kiranb1510]

Low ground clearance

[@kingcharles275]

163mm ground clearance is not at all suitable for a SUV in India 😅😅😅

[@unknown-us5vs]

Its a porsche cayenne coupe 😂

[@16green]

Better than bmw, mercedes eq interiors

[@ch10ya38]

Check interiors of EQS and then compare it’s nowhere near the level

[@prayasdash]

Check the price of EQS and then compare it's nowhere close to this as well. Where are you even taking the comparison. He's comparing base EQ models and you're directly jumping for the top one

[@OmFreeRadical]

@@ch10ya38 eqa to eqs? lol

[@alburaq3290]

Black interior looks grim and depressing. BYD should start using some colours in their interior.

[@ch10ya38]

@OmFreeRadical @prayadash no one is talking about prices, it was just brand comparison. And if you scaled down sealion interiors to EQA size, eqa would still very easily win the aesthetic appeal. BYD interiors look like a barebones appliance with no richness only the quality of materials is good. Even the infotainment screen ux feels like a 2017 chinese tablet. Mercs ux is 10x better.

[@techstuffz4883]

Looks like Baleno

[@iamsansun]

Why name it "Sealion 7" when it can seat only 5? My suggestion; "Sealion 5". Hit like👍if you agree with me🙋

[@warewolf7509]

Does the 7 series seat 7 PPL

[@maaster007]

5 seater 😂😂😂😂

[@paldenlhamo-o1u]

this car only worth around 30k. i rather buy tesla or mahindra for the price

[@ramreddymatta]

IF YOU PAY 2-5 LAKHS MORE YOU GET A BETTER CAR..... VOLVO C40 RECHARGE...IF AM RIGHT

[@tbirdfalcon6545]

Battery spec level they are nearly identical. But is Volvo a better Car? it is much smaller than BYD per dimension and wheelbase , trunk space

[@alburaq3290]

Better in what way?

[@sourav3683]

A genuine question, how susceptible is this company to sanctions in case India and China relations go bad again?

[@sourav3683]

I’ve been considering this car ahead of iX1 LWB but this is a serious issue

[@AsPi_rANTER]

none can say anything

[@benishan3]

You should ask Viswaguru
