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

Next week. Wait for it

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.

Sime Darby Motors has revealed that it will be hosting the Sealion 7 showcase at The Exchange 106, Kuala Lumpur from 15 to 17 November.

We can sign up for the test drive event through BYD Malaysia’s official website. Alternatively, check it out the new electric SUV at BYD showrooms nationwide on the same weekend.

https://soyacincau.com/2024/11/08/byd-seali...alaysia-14-nov/

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.

Got many units driving around TRX area right now. Looks good and very low slung.

The Sealion 7 EV looks great, and you need to go compare it with Tesla Model Y, and you will see how deep the Model Y's addition storage is. and how good the Tesla 17 speakers is.

While Sealion 7 EV's 12 speakers is no slob and would satisfy just about anyone who is willing to pay for this car.

Did anyone explore to see if Sealion 7 EV have sentry mode? or does it have Pet mode?

I don't understand why model Y is so popular, it really looks ugly to me. Sealion 7 is the best looking car in this segment and I think it will sell well. From what I heard so far, people seem to be amazed with the Xpeng G6's speakers. I didn't get a chance to check out the sound system when I test drove it.

oh will go check out the Xpeng as well. The Supercharger network is one reason for people to go for it. it is like a proven recipe. May pay quite a bit more, but having those chargers... makes a difference.

Only 12 charging stations in the peninsular and all in town areas. How is that even a selling point in Malaysia? Tesla SC are only a selling point the US and some EU countries where they have many. They have basically stopped expanding and growth of charging stations will be very slow if any at all worldwide.

Geez... I forgot what they promised the government how many they built...

car too heavy at 2.3 ton

I think it was 15 or 20. They will likely fulfil their obligation to keep their special privileges but unlikely to build more than that.

Many non EV D segment SUV also pushing 2 tons already. So nothing out of the ordinary.

So Tesla charging in R&R... Do they need anything, like additional adaptors, I assume they definitely will need other apps.

No need adapter, in Malaysia all EVs use CCS2 including Tesla. Only the Nissan Leaf will need adapter coz using Chademo. Not sure whether Tesla even allow others to use their SC right now but will likely open up in the future. But it is highly likely that Gentari or ChargEV will be the ones that setup at R&R first and maybe later only allow others to come in.
