Sime Motors has officially launched the 2026 BYD Sealion 7 in Malaysia. At a glance, the 2026 revision that BYD has implemented looks rather subtle but still impactful to the Sealion 7 family in many ways.
2026 BYD Sealion 7 Malaysia Pricing and Launch Promo
With the 2026 revision, the Sealion 7 now has an additional variant called Dynamic, which serves as the new base option for the family. Here is the price list of the 2026 BYD Sealion 7 in Malaysia:
- 2026 BYD Sealion 7 Dynamic RWD: RM163,800
- 2026 BYD Sealion 7 Premium RWD: RM188,800
- 2026 BYD Sealion 7 Performance AWD: RM203,800
Warranty-wise, the 2026 Sealion 7 family is covered by a 6-year / 150,000km vehicle warranty alongside a separate 8-year / 160,000km warranty for its EV battery and drive unit. Each unit also comes standard with a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) adapter and a portable Type 2 AC charger with a 3-pin plug.
In conjunction with the launch, the first 300 customers who purchase the Sealion 7 Dynamic can enjoy a RM4,000 launch rebate, which lowers its price tag to RM159,800. Alternatively, they can choose to forego the launch rebate for a free AC wallbox charger instead, although this offer is available to everyone.
While there is no launch rebate for Sealion 7 Premium and Sealion 7 Performance, customers will be provided with a free AC wallbox charger. There is also an overtrade bonus worth RM3,888 and RM2,888 tied to each model, respectively.
For customers who book the 2026 Sealion 7 at the launch roadshow in 1 Utama this weekend, they will also receive free charging credit worth RM200.
2026 BYD Sealion 7 Malaysia – what’s new?
Unlike the recent Atto 3 FL, there are no major changes to the exterior and interior of the 2026 Sealion 7, when compared to its predecessor that was launched in 2024. Instead, the big changes that the 2026 Sealion 7 carries involve its battery and charging capability.
Specifically, the 2026 Sealion 7 Premium and Performance now have a 91.39kWh BYD Blade LFP battery. As a comparison, their 2024 predecessors were equipped with an 82.5kWh battery pack.
With a larger capacity battery, naturally their range has been improved as well. The Premium variant range is now 650km NEDC (553km WLTP est.), while the Performance option is claimed to be 600km NEDC (510km WLTP est.).
In addition to that, the maximum DC charging speed on the 2026 Sealion 7 Premium and Performance has been improved from 150kW to 230kW. Not to forget, BYD has somehow improved the boot space capacity on both variants from 500L to 520L, which can be expanded further up to 1789L.
Meanwhile, BYD has also provided a new colourway option called Ultraviolet that is exclusive to the Premium variant. Other colourways that are available for the 2026 Sealion 7 family include Aurora white, Atlantis Grey, Shark Grey, and Cosmos Black.
The biggest change that BYD has made to the 2026 Sealion 7 family in Malaysia is the introduction of the Sealion 7 Dynamic variant. Being the new base variant in the family, it helps lower the starting price for Sealion 7 in Malaysia.
While it is still an RWD model just like the Premium option, the Sealion 7 Dynamic has a less powerful 170kW (228hp) electric motor that also generates 380Nm of torque. At the same time, the Dynamic option also carries a smaller 71.8kWh battery, which is why it also has the lowest range in the family at 520km NEDC (442km WLTP est.).
At the same time, the charging speed of the Sealion 7 Dynamic is also slower at 110kW for DC and 7kW for AC. The driver’s seat on the Dynamic variant is also missing the 4-way lumbar adjustment and power-adjustable leg rest.
