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.
