BYD Sealion 7 (2025): The SUV That Proves BYD Is Here to Stay

The BYD Sealion 7 is BYD’s largest electric SUV, designed to offer comfort, tech, and value in one bold package. With muscular styling, dual-motor AWD options, and a range of over 500 km WLTP, the Sealion 7 is built for Australian families and long-haul drivers.

 

Inside, it features a large rotating infotainment screen, spacious cabin, panoramic roof, and luxury-like finishes that defy its mid-range pricing. It’s part of BYD’s aggressive move to claim more space in Australia’s EV market, aiming to compete not just on cost but also on comfort and innovation.

Tyre Advice for BYD Sealion 7 Owners

This heavier SUV benefits from EV tyres with strong wet grip, sidewall rigidity, and noise-dampening tech. The Sealion 7’s instant torque can place added stress on tyres, especially during quick acceleration or on slippery roads, so grip and stability should be top priorities when selecting replacements.

 

If driving long distances, focus on tyres that reduce rolling resistance to preserve range and enhance energy efficiency. Look for tyres with XL (extra load) ratings, and consider low-noise tread patterns to maintain a quiet cabin experience, especially at highway speeds. Also, regularly rotate your tyres (every 10,000–12,000 km) to prevent uneven wear, and keep tyre pressures at optimal levels to support both safety and longevity.

 

Proper alignment and balancing are equally important, especially on AWD models that may experience more even wear but can still be sensitive to alignment shifts from rough roads or curbing.

Final Thoughts

The BYD Sealion 7 brings full-size EV practicality to the masses. It proves that a large electric SUV doesn’t have to come with a luxury-brand price tag. Matched with proper tyres, it’s more than just a value play—it’s a confident, capable SUV made for Australian roads, offering space, power, and comfort for real-world use. With the right tyre setup, it becomes a refined long-distance cruiser, equally at home in the suburbs or out on the open road.
