BYD India has announced a price increase for its SEALION 7 electric SUV effective January 1, 2026, while offering customers a window to purchase at existing prices until the end of this year.
The company, a subsidiary of the world's leading New Energy Vehicle manufacturer, confirmed that bookings made on or before December 31, 2025 will honour the current ex-showroom pricing. The SEALION 7 is presently available in two variants: the Premium model at ₹48.90 lakh and the Performance version at ₹54.90 lakh.
Since its debut at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, the electric SUV has registered over 2,000 sales in India, indicating strong market acceptance in the premium EV segment.
