BYD India has officially announced a price hike for the Sealion 7 electric SUV starting January 1, 2026. The premium all-electric crossover, launched in February 2025, has quickly gained traction in the Indian market, competing with models such as the BMW iX1 LWB, Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Volvo EC40. With strong demand and rising production costs, BYD is set to revise prices for all variants in the new year.

As of now, the BYD Sealion 7 is priced at:
- ₹48.90 lakh (ex-showroom) – Premium
- ₹54.90 lakh (ex-showroom) – Performance
BYD has confirmed that these prices will remain applicable only for customers who complete their bookings before December 31, 2025. Any bookings made from January 1 onward will reflect the revised, higher pricing. The brand has not disclosed the exact percentage or amount of the upcoming hike but has indicated that updates will be shared closer to the rollout date.
Strong Sales Momentum Ahead of Price Revision

With competitors also adjusting pricing strategies, BYD aims to maintain balance between value and premium brand appeal.
