BYD Sealion 7: three trims, two battery capacities and different charging speeds.

The short answer

How do the original European BYD Sealion 7 Comfort, Design AWD and Excellence AWD battery, range and charging ratings compare?

BYD's 2024 European announcement lists an 82.5 kWh pack for Comfort RWD (482 km WLTP) and Design AWD (456 km), while Excellence AWD combines 91.3 kWh with 502 km. Maximum DC charge ratings are 150 kW for Comfort/Design versus 230 kW for Excellence—not charging power maintained continuously.

Applicable to: November 15, 2024 BYD European launch specification for three explicitly named Sealion 7 editions. WLTP, charging rates and figures may differ in later national-market releases or refreshed versions.

02 / Before you use these values

Match the exact vehicle.

Check 1

Confirm Comfort RWD versus Design AWD versus Excellence AWD; two trims can have the same rated battery capacity but different WLTP range because of drivetrain and equipment.

Check 2

Charging rates are peak manufacturer ratings. Charge time depends on station capability, pack temperature and state of charge; the stated 10–80% durations use the original launch test conditions.

Check 3

Check country, production date and updated homologation documents. Do not carry these figures to Seal, Seal U, Sealion 6 or SEALION 7 models sold under different regional specifications.

03 / Verification and next answers

Where the numbers came from

Original three-trim comparison compiled from BYD Europe's dated November 15, 2024 Sealion 7 introduction. Battery capacities, WLTP figures, motor outputs, peak DC charging and 10–80% times are read from the same official model release, with explicit RWD/AWD and market scope. No inferred real-life charging curve, usable capacity or high-voltage DIY servicing instructions.
