Engine, Battery, & Performance

The engine of this car makes use of a 230 kW electric motor that delivers 380 Nm of torque. Being a fully electric car gives the perk of producing instantaneous torque, allowing the vehicle to cover a distance from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds.

The power source of the car is an extremely tough 82.56 kWh LFP Blade battery. In terms of efficiency, the BYD Sealion 7 driving range by NEDC is up to 567 km. For more realistic everyday driving conditions, the WLTP rating provides a highly dependable range of approximately 450 km to 482 km on a single charge.

Charging Time and Solutions

Charging your car is simple, regardless of whether you are charging it at home or on a journey spanning through various provinces.

• AC Home Charging: The car comes with a Type 2 AC plug, which facilitates 11 kW charging at standard rates. The time taken to charge a completely empty battery will be around 8 hours.
• DC Fast Charging: On a long-distance journey along highways, the DC fast-charging connector will enable up to 150 kW of fast charging. In about 30 to 35 minutes, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% at any compatible fast-charging stations.
• Home Installation: The process of installing a charger at home is not complicated. When working with the official authorities, the BYD charger installation in Pakistan guarantees that your electrical system is capable of dealing with a 7 kW or 11 kW smart charger with adequate ground protection.

Safety is a top priority for this electric SUV. It comes equipped with a complete package of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and occupant protection features:

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Tips on Ride, Handling, & Maintenance

Owing to its low center of gravity and independent suspension system, the ride is exceptionally smooth, stable, and quiet. It turns around sharp corners without excessive body roll, thus feeling brilliant even with its solid body mass.

Maintenance of an electric SUV is easier compared to a regular car since there is no engine oil replacement, spark plug or fuel filter change. But you have to keep in mind some basic tips in order to maintain your car in good shape.

1. Tires Care: It is necessary to monitor the tire pressure. The sudden electric torque may hasten the tires' wear when they are not inflated properly.
2. Software Updates: Perform a quick installation of over-the-air (OTA) updates in order to keep the software running according to the latest updates both in your infotainment and battery management systems.
3. Official Coverage: In order to preserve the warranty, always visit official service centres within the required check-up periods. The vehicle features a standard warranty of 6 years or 150,000 km, while the main Blade Battery is covered for an impressive 8 years or 160,000 km.
