New limited-edition electric SUV introduces an exclusive Tan & Black interior while retaining the performance, technology and safety features of the Sealion 7 Premium.
New Delhi: BYD India has launched the Sealion 7 Festive Edition, a limited-production version of its premium electric SUV, priced at ₹50.60 lakh (ex-showroom). Restricted to just 150 units nationwide, the new edition introduces an exclusive Tan & Black interior and is available solely with the Sealion 7 Premium variant.
The launch forms part of BYD India’s ongoing ‘Celebrate Your Dreams with BYD’ campaign, aimed at attracting buyers during the festive season. Rather than introducing mechanical changes or additional equipment, the company has focused on giving its electric SUV a distinctive cabin treatment.
Exclusive Tan & Black Interior Takes Centre Stage
The most noticeable change in the Sealion 7 Festive Edition is its new dual-tone Tan & Black interior, which replaces the conventional cabin colour scheme with a warmer appearance.
The limited edition retains the equipment and technical specifications of the standard Sealion 7 Premium, making the exclusive interior its principal distinguishing feature.
For customers who prefer exclusivity without sacrificing familiar technology and performance, BYD is offering a different atmosphere inside the cabin rather than reinventing what lies beneath it.
Speaking about the launch, Rajeev Chauhan, Head of Electric Passenger Vehicle Business, BYD India, said:
“As we continue to expand our presence in India’s premium electric vehicle segment, we are focused on creating products and experiences that resonate with the evolving aspirations of Indian customers. The Sealion 7 Festive Edition is an extension of that approach, bringing a distinctive Tan & Black interior to the Premium variant in a limited run for the festive season. At its core, it retains the technology, safety and performance that define the Sealion 7, while offering customers a differentiated expression of the model. With this edition, we look forward to building on the strong response the Sealion 7 has received in India.”
BYD Sealion 7 Festive Edition: Battery, Power and Range
Underneath the revised interior, the Sealion 7 Festive Edition continues with the same electric drivetrain as the Premium variant.
It is powered by an 82.56 kWh BYD Blade Battery, incorporating the manufacturer’s Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology and Intelligence Torque Adaption Control (iTAC).
The electric powertrain produces 230 kW (approximately 308 hp) and 380 Nm of torque, enabling the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed 6.7 seconds.
BYD quotes a driving range of 567 km on the NEDC test cycle. As with other laboratory-based range figures, actual driving range will depend on factors such as speed, road conditions, temperature and driving habits.

The combination of battery technology, occupant protection and cabin equipment remains central to BYD’s positioning of the Sealion 7 in India’s premium electric SUV market.
More Than 4,500 BYD Sealion 7 SUVs Operating in India
Introduced in India in 2025, the BYD Sealion 7 has established a presence in the country’s growing premium electric vehicle segment.
According to BYD India, more than 4,500 units of the electric SUV are currently in operation across the country.
The model has also received several automotive industry awards in 2026, including Luxury Mid-size SUV of the Year at the ACKO Drive TOTM Awards, Premium EV of the Year at the car&bike Awards, Premium SUV of the Year at the TV9 Awards and Best EV Design at the CarBike360 Auto Excellence Awards.

At the corporate level, BYD secured the 91st position on the 2026 Fortune Global 500 list, marking its fifth consecutive appearance in the ranking.
Limited-Edition Strategy Targets India’s Festive EV Buyers
The launch of the Sealion 7 Festive Edition reflects BYD India’s effort to maintain interest in its premium electric SUV through a limited-production offering.
With only 150 units available, the company is emphasising exclusivity and interior personalisation rather than changes to the vehicle’s established technical package.
The ₹50.60 lakh price places the Festive Edition firmly within India’s premium electric vehicle segment, where buyers increasingly consider technology, safety, performance and cabin design alongside driving range.
As India’s electric vehicle market continues to develop, limited editions such as the Sealion 7 Festive Edition illustrate how manufacturers are looking beyond battery capacity and acceleration figures to differentiate their products. For BYD, the festive offering is another opportunity to strengthen its position in a market where electric mobility is gradually becoming a premium lifestyle choice as well as a practical alternative to conventional vehicles.
