Thanks! All in all, got RM24.5k rebate + Kineta wallbox. I heard end of last year a number of BYD cars received 30k rebate lol!

End of last year those rebates were for seal not s7

Anyone got seal 6 yet?

Any offer you get? Went for test drive the other day. Surprised that Seal 6 actually feels more spacious than Seal, probably due to the sporty nature of the car.

If anybody is watching/reading this thread:

BYD is still no 1 and funnily enough, the Sealion 7 managed to outsell the brand new Zeekr 7x in October. I guess, the deep rebates (24.5k for me) was enough to sway many buyers into BYD

In any case, my 3 week ownership review of the BYD Sealion 7 Performance.

1. Performance is absolutely great. 0-100km/h in 4.1s (better than the claimed 4.5s) but the power is so linear even for 100-180km/h. Didn't manage to test the car to the limit.

2. Handling, comparable to the Toyota Corolla Cross, meaning that it's geared towards family SUV and not performance SUV. You cannot chuck it in corners without the body rolling effect. Honda HR-V is much better in this respect. Still doable, but not confidence inspiring.

3. I am charging on mostly DC chargers and some AC chargers while waiting for my wallbox to be installed this coming Saturday. Seriously, I had not encountered any queue so far. In fact, most of the time, I was the only EV at the charging location. Only once where the charging bays was totally full, which was at IoI City Mall, Putrajaya.

4. Range: 95% highway, 5% city: I left JB at 96% and arrived at Petronas Seremban R&R Northbound with 26% left - that was 277km. So the estimated 100-0% range of the car is 395km. This was with an average speed of 110-120km/h and some short speed testing to 160-180km/h.

5. Power Use estimate: on average, roughly 20-23kWh on Highway and 17-19kWh in cities. My daily drive to and from the office is roughly 10% use for a distance of 45km. So my estimated range for pure city use is roughly 450km. Quite close to the quoted 461km WLTP figures.
