BYD Sealion 7 Price Hiked in India — Gets Costlier by ₹50k
BYD India has announced the revised prices for the popular Sealion 7 electric SUV, which are effective from January 2026. The base Premium variant sees a hike of ₹50,000 while the top-spec Performance variant pricing remains the same.
BYD Sealion 7 Revised Price List (January 2026)
BYD Sealion 7 Premium variant, which used to be priced at ₹48.90 Lakh has seen an increase of ₹50,000, bringing the ex-showroom price up to ₹49.40 Lakh.
BYD Sealion 7 Performance variant remains unaffected by this revision, and so the price remains to be ₹54.90 Lakh.
| Variant | Old Price (ex-showroom) | New Price (ex-showroom) |
| Sealion 7 Premium | ₹48.90 Lakh | ₹49.40 Lakh |
| Sealion 7 Performance | ₹54.90 Lakh | ₹54.90 Lakh |
Why the Price Hike?
Automakers all around the world have decided to revise the prices at the start of the calendar year, mainly due to rising input costs and exchange rate fluctuations. This combined with the recent inflation makes this price hike a predictive move.
Despite the change in the prices, the BYD Sealion 7 remains as a competitive option against rivals like Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Tesla Model Y.
Price Protection for Early Adopters
BYD India has also confirmed a price protection scheme for early adopters. For those who booked the BYD Sealion 7 Premium on or before December 31st, 2025, the company will honor the previous ex-showroom price of ₹48.90 Lakh. The new prices are strictly applicable to booking made from January 1, 2026, and onwards.
