BYD India has introduced the SEALION 7 Festive Edition, a limited-run version of its electric SUV featuring an exclusive Tan and Black interior. Priced at ₹50.60 lakh (ex-showroom), the special edition is restricted to 150 units nationwide and is based exclusively on the rear-wheel-drive SEALION 7 Premium variant.
Introduced under BYD India's “Celebrate Your Dreams with BYD” festive campaign, the new edition focuses on cabin styling rather than mechanical upgrades. It retains the Premium variant's battery, electric motor, driving range and core equipment, while offering a distinctive interior theme for buyers seeking a more exclusive version of the electric SUV.
BYD SEALION 7 Festive Edition Price and Availability
The SEALION 7 Festive Edition is priced at ₹50.60 lakh, ex-showroom. The regular SEALION 7 Premium is listed at ₹49.90 lakh, making the special edition ₹70,000 more expensive based on these prices.
With production limited to 150 units across India, availability will depend on the allocation and stock held by authorised BYD dealerships. Buyers should confirm the final price, delivery timelines and availability with their local dealer.
The limited-edition model does not introduce a new powertrain or additional performance hardware. Instead, BYD is using the exclusive interior finish to distinguish it from the regular Premium variant during the festive buying season.
Exclusive Tan and Black Interior
The main highlight of the BYD SEALION 7 Festive Edition is its Tan and Black cabin theme. The two-tone treatment gives the interior a different visual character while retaining the Premium variant's existing layout and equipment.
BYD has not announced major exterior design changes or mechanical revisions for this edition. Buyers therefore receive the same underlying electric SUV package, with the cabin finish serving as the principal differentiator.
Battery, Power and Driving Range
The SEALION 7 Festive Edition retains the Premium variant's 82.56 kWh Blade Battery. BYD's Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology integrates the battery into the vehicle's structure, while Intelligence Torque Adaption Control (iTAC) is designed to help manage torque delivery and vehicle stability.
The rear-mounted electric motor produces 230 kW of power and 380 Nm of torque. BYD claims a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 6.7 seconds and a driving range of up to 567 km under the NEDC test cycle.
- Battery capacity: 82.56 kWh
- Battery technology: BYD Blade Battery
- Electric motor output: 230 kW (approximately 313 PS)
- Peak torque: 380 Nm
- Drive configuration: Rear-wheel drive
- 0–100 km/h acceleration: 6.7 seconds, claimed
- Claimed driving range: Up to 567 km (NEDC)
The 567 km figure is based on the NEDC test cycle and should not be interpreted as a guaranteed real-world range. Actual distance per charge will vary with driving style, traffic, weather, road conditions and use of the climate-control system.
Interior Features and Safety Equipment
Beyond the special interior colour scheme, the SEALION 7 Festive Edition retains the Premium variant's technology and comfort features. These include a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital instrument display and a head-up display.
The cabin also features quilted Nappa leather upholstery, electrically adjustable seats with driver memory and ventilation, and a panoramic glass roof with an electric sunshade. A powered tailgate adds convenience when loading luggage.
Safety equipment includes 11 airbags, while the SEALION 7 has received a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP. The SUV also incorporates BYD's battery and vehicle-structure technologies as part of its overall safety engineering.
What Changes Compared with the Regular Premium?
The SEALION 7 Festive Edition is primarily a styling-focused update. Its Tan and Black interior distinguishes it from the standard Premium, but the battery capacity, motor output, torque, claimed range and acceleration figures remain unchanged.
The ₹70,000 price difference, based on the listed Premium and Festive Edition prices, is therefore associated with the special-edition treatment rather than a performance or range improvement. Buyers who prefer the regular cabin finish can consider the standard Premium, while those who value the exclusive interior may find the limited-run version more appealing.
AkulRide Verdict
The BYD SEALION 7 Festive Edition adds an exclusive Tan and Black interior to the Premium variant of BYD's electric SUV, with production limited to 150 units in India. Its 82.56 kWh Blade Battery, 230 kW rear motor, 380 Nm torque and claimed 567 km NEDC range remain unchanged.
At ₹50.60 lakh ex-showroom, the Festive Edition costs ₹70,000 more than the listed regular Premium. Its appeal will depend mainly on whether buyers value the special cabin finish and limited availability. Those looking for additional performance or longer range will not find a mechanical upgrade in this edition.
