This week, Jimmy, Matt, Steph and Henry from BYD Nelson and The Car Company, headed up to Auckland to get an exclusive first look at the all-new BYD Sealion 7 – BYD’s latest innovation in electric SUVs.
The trip offered hands-on training and in-depth insights into this highly anticipated model. From performance and design to advanced technology and safety features, we covered everything there is to know about the Sealion 7. And we can confidently say: this vehicle is going to turn heads.
The Sealion 7 positions itself at the premium end of the EV market, boasting a sleek and aerodynamic exterior, an ultra-modern interior, and a powertrain built for both efficiency and thrill. With BYD’s signature Blade Battery (safest EV battery on the market) and next-gen electric technology under the hood, it’s designed to deliver on both range and performance.
This Auckland trip wasn't just about specs – it was about experiencing the vision behind the Sealion 7 and how these amazing features can impact lives. Our host Christian, from BYD Australia, shared an inspiring story of how a family in Queensland uswed their BYD vehicle-2-load (V2L) function to power their son's dialysis machine on Christmas Day when her home lost power. Other families have used their BYD EVs to power household appliances during extended blackouts. We’re excited to bring that knowledge back home to Nelson and share it with you.
Keep an eye out for the BYD Sealion 7 on our roads or head to our BYD showroom at 150 Rutherford Street to see this sleek vehicle in person. If you’re considering making the switch to electric – or upgrading your EV experience – this could be the one you’ve been waiting for.
