Available in two broad variants – Premium and Performance – the prices for the BYD Sealion 7 ranges between Rs 48.90 lakh and Rs 54.90 lakh (ex-showroom pan-India). This new BYD SUV offers a comprehensive feature list, performance, and a boot space of 500 litres. That’s not all, you also get a frunk storage capacity of 58 litres.
