Byd pens a new era of electric luxury with the sealion 7

Chinese automaker BYD has made a significant splash in the European market, seducing top talent from the worlds of cinema and football. The latest coup is a Denza Z9 GT gifted to none other than James Bond himself, Daniel Craig. This strategic partnership marks an ambitious international expansion for the brand, set to reach new heights by 2026.

Byd's rising star: pep guardiola joins the fold

Hot on the heels of Craig's endorsement, BYD has tapped into the global football phenomenon that is Pep Guardiola. The Manchester City manager has taken delivery of a bespoke BYD Sealion 7, a move that cements his status as a visionary in both sport and sustainability.

The Sealion 7 is a technological tour-de-force, boasting a Blade Battery with a 91.3 kWh capacity and Cell to Body architecture. This powertrain delivers a blistering 0-100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and an electric range of up to 616 km on a single charge. What's more, the vehicle can recharge from 10% to 80% in a mere 24 minutes via its 230 kW DC charging system.

Inside, the Sealion 7 exudes luxury with its premium Nappa leather seats, dual-zone climate control, wireless smartphone charging, and a 360-degree camera system. The pièce de résistance is the 15.6-inch central touchscreen, which rotates and offers an immersive 3D interface.

For Guardiola, the BYD Sealion 7 represents the pinnacle of performance and innovation.
