Recently, there have been many new pure electric vehicles priced around 200,000 yuan hitting the market. Some people ask me which one is worth buying the most. My answer is:

BYD Sealion 07EV. Why is that?

01

The Strategic Position of Sealion 07EV

This car definitely has the ambition to become a hit, because if you look through the sales charts, you will find that BYD lacks a hit model in the mid-size pure electric SUV segment. Without a doubt, this car is a strategic model for BYD in its pure electric layout.How to Create a Best-Selling Pure Electric SUV?

---

To achieve this, several characteristics are required:

- High cost-performance ratio with comprehensive advantages and no obvious weaknesses;

- In line with mainstream public aesthetics;

- Significantly lower daily usage costs;

- A large number of sales networks and convenient after-sales service.The official guide price for the Sealion 07EV ranges from 189,800 yuan to 239,800 yuan. The new vehicle is equipped with 12 globally pioneering core technologies from BYD, as well as over 100 standard features across the series.

In terms of safety configurations, it features the world's first skeleton-like CTB (Cell to Body) safety structure, comes standard with 11 airbags, and includes a built-in driving recorder for the entire series.

For comfort, it offers an 8-way power adjustment and 4-way lumbar support adjustment for the driver's seat, standard ventilation/heating functions for the front seats, a standard heat pump air conditioning system, and standard double-layer sound insulation and heat insulation glass for the front row and privacy heat insulation glass for the rear row. In terms of convenience features, it includes a built-in ETC system, a standard front compartment storage box, and an electric tailgate.

Undoubtedly, the Sealion 07EV has reached a leading level in its class in terms of configuration.

Secondly, in terms of aesthetics, the Sealion 07EV is another masterpiece under the "ocean aesthetics" design concept. It offers four body color options: Sky Purple, Aurora White, Atlantis Grey, and Mysterious Black, maintaining a unique family characteristic without being overly avant-garde, which aligns with the aesthetic preferences of mainstream young users.In terms of space, the Sea Lion 07EV fully leverages the flexible layout and high integration advantages of the e-platform 3.0 Evo, with a wheelbase of 2930mm, providing users with a spacious and practical large interior space. The soft material areas account for more than 80% of the total interior area, significantly enhancing the riding experience.

Regarding daily usage costs, in addition to offering a 0 down payment and 0 interest purchase option for the Sea Lion 07EV, as well as a maximum exchange subsidy of 16,000 yuan, the first owner will receive a free charging pile installation within two years. BYD has always been very generous in terms of home charging piles, bringing users the best and lowest-cost charging scenario.

In terms of service network, BYD has a strong system strength advantage in its national sales and after-sales service network. Whether in first and second-tier central cities or in smaller cities and counties, the rich network touchpoints ensure a convenient user experience.

Purchase recommendations for the Sea Lion 07EV

It can be seen that the four models launched mainly differ in the 550km and 610km range versions, and in terms of performance, the top-of-the-line all-wheel-drive version priced at 239,800 yuan is significantly stronger, with a zero-to-hundred acceleration of 4.2 seconds. For those who pursue performance, the top configuration is the obvious choice without hesitation.For everyday use, the 610-kilometer long-range version priced at 199,800 yuan offers the best overall value for money. In addition to having a larger battery and better performance, many comfort features are also significantly advantageous compared to the version priced at 189,800 yuan. The 219,800 yuan smart navigation version, on the other hand, includes additional hardware such as sensor cameras for intelligent driving assistance, which can be chosen based on specific daily usage needs. However, all versions of the Haisi 07EV support Level 2 intelligent driving assistance.

What evolutions has the e-platform 3.0 Evo achieved in the Haisi 07EV?

After discussing the purchasing recommendations, what I really want to emphasize is that for the Haisi 07EV, BYD aims to create more than just a popular price and configuration; it wants to lead the technological evolution in the market through a popular model. Therefore, the biggest highlight of the Haisi 07EV is not how high the configuration is, but how strong the technology is.

Significant improvement in charging efficiency:

In terms of charging infrastructure, BYD does not make grandiose promises but instead thinks and implements in a down-to-earth manner: how to provide a better user experience under limited charging conditions.Focusing solely on the scenario of charging at public charging piles, BYD, in order to enhance charging efficiency and safety stability, has equipped the Haisi 07EV with intelligent current-boosting fast charging technology, full-scene intelligent pulse self-heating technology, intelligent end fast charging technology, and intelligent voltage-boosting fast charging technology, constructing a comprehensive intelligent fast charging solution.

Let's look at some data:

The Haisi 07EV is compatible with 100% of public DC charging piles. On a 250A public charging pile, its vehicle-side charging current can be increased up to 400A, with a charging time from 10% to 80% State of Charge (SOC) in less than 25 minutes. The charging time from 80% to 100% SOC has been reduced from the original 30 minutes to 18 minutes, significantly improving the utilization rate of public charging piles by 30%.

Especially under the winter conditions in the north, the battery temperature rise rate of the Haisi 07EV can be increased by 230%, and the low-temperature charging time can be shortened by 40% compared to conventional heating solutions.

Not picky about the charging pile or the environment, the Haisi 07EV can continuously ensure efficient travel for users.High Discharge Efficiency and Low Energy Consumption:

In addition to efforts in charging, the Sealion 07EV is also unambiguous in its discharging capabilities. The entire series is equipped with an efficient twelve-in-one intelligent electric drive system, which highly integrates multiple modules, significantly enhancing efficiency. The comprehensive efficiency of the system under various driving conditions can reach up to 92%—especially in daily urban driving, the range can be increased by 50km.

Most notably, the Sealion 07EV series all adopt the world's highest mass-produced motor speed of 23,000rpm, and the entire series is equipped with 1200V silicon carbide electric control, which elevates the performance of the electric drive system to a new level.

Furthermore, the discharging capability and thermal management of the battery are closely related. The Sealion 07EV series uses a 16-in-1 high-efficiency thermal management integrated module, which has the highest integration globally, significantly reducing pipelines. This allows for a notable reduction in system losses, a 20% improvement in heat exchange performance, and a 25% reduction in battery thermal management energy consumption.

Driving SummaryIn fact, there are many technological advantages of the e-platform 3.0 Evo that can be reflected in the HaiShi 07EV, including intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving, actual control, and comfort, etc. Today, we only take the two aspects that ordinary users are most sensitive to, "charging" and "using electricity", as examples, and we can see how strong BYD's technical reserves are and how substantial its foundation is.

Parameters are golden sentences, and technology is the internet celebrity.

The HaiShi 07EV is born in the fiercely competitive 200,000-level mid-size SUV market. New products not only bring new experiences but also bring a new height of technology and value standards - no matter how many times it has been on the hot search, it is not comparable to the new technology on the new model, bringing users a brand new experience.

Therefore, BYD's strength is not only reflected in a new product with "low enough price and high enough configuration", but also in the entire new energy industry chain. Even a very small technical touch has a deep accumulation and output landing ability, which is the reason why the HaiShi 07EV is truly powerful.
