Will launch here?

Autolifethailand (ALT) was able to confirm that BYD will be manufacturing it in RHD which is suited for markets like Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and others countries in the region.

https://thedriven.io/2024/05/28/byd-sea-lio...launch-in-2024/

But it was talking about it when EV version was previewed

That is the only answer I have found

tbh..this is the best option for those whose duwan to switch to ev.. and best priced phev so far..
very tempting...but not sure how much it will be price if they bring it here.....sd....u know i know

But PHEV macam more tisky in terms of reliability I feel...I see other brand's PHEV macam not long lasting.

Malaysian ringgit stronger now , so hope everyone sees that and fast fast bring more action here

More want our money now

Actually if you don't like to buy from and get served by Sime Darby, if you are living around KL, you can try Harmony Auto

https://www.dsf.my/2024/06/harmony-auto-is-...ler-from-china/

PHEV is always going to cost more that ICE and BEV in Malaysia, coz no tax haven plus the fact that the manufacturing cost is higher with both system in the same bodyshell.

yupe...but thailand is selling from 939,900 baht
T.cross hybrid around 999,000 - 1.2 Million..
so the price will be around there if it sells here?

Hope they bring both 1.5 and 2 litre turbo hybrid

Looks like we will get EV coupe version instead

This Sealion 07 EV gonna bring huge challenge to Model Y with its 800v architecture and 230kw DC charging in LFP battery. It is quite a breakthrough that LFP battery can take up to 230kw DC charging. Hope the selling price is attractive and will definitely get more attention from public.

I drove passed this car this morning. White variant. Probably the best looking ev right now. My first thought from afar it was a Porsche car. Then realised it was a byd sealion 6. Brunei plate no and Dm-i phev variant if not mistaken.

Will beli dua biji, when they release V2G function. Otherwise no.

BYD Sealion 7 Malaysia: High-performance electric SUV with over 500km range, starts at RM184k

BYD Sealion 7 Malaysia pricing, colourways

For Malaysia, the Sealion 7 can be obtained in two variants:


BYD Sealion 7 Performance: RM183,800
BYD Sealion 7 Premium: RM199,800

Regardless of the variant that you prefer, there are 4 colourways to choose from including Cosmos Black, Aurora White, Atlantis Grey, and Shark Grey. As part of the launch, Sime Darby Motors is now offering a free home charger and RM800 worth of charging credits to customers who purchase and register their Sealion 7 by 31 December 2024.

BYD Sealion 7 quick specs

The BYD Sealion 7 Premium comes with a rear wheel drive setup and features a 230kW (308hp) motor that can deliver 380Nm of torque. In terms of acceleration, this variant is able to deliver 0-100km/h timing of 6.7 seconds.


As mentioned before, Sealion 7 Performance is available in Malaysia too. This version comes with an all wheel drive setup and features a 390kW (523hp) motor with 690Nm of torque alongside 0-100km/h timing of 4.5 seconds.

In terms of range, the Premium model can deliver an NEDC-rated range of 567km while its Performance counterpart offers an NEDC-rated range of 542km. However, BYD did not reveal the much more accurate WLTP range figures for the Sealion 7.

The same 82.5kWh battery pack powers both variants of the Sealion 7 in Malaysia. This means that they are based on the older 400V e-Platform 3.0 architecture which has a much lower DC charging capability of 150kW.


As a comparison, the version sold in Europe is based on the newer 800V e-Platform 3.0 Evo which has a much faster DC charging speed of 230kW. That being said, the Sealion 7 for the Malaysian market is equipped with an 11kW AC onboard charger – the first BYD model to come with it.
