BYD launched the Sealion 07 EV on May 10, the battery electric vehicle (BEV) model is the first of its e-Platform 3.0 Evo.

The Sealion 07 EV has a starting price of RMB 189,800 ($26,170), with deliveries beginning later in May.

The Sealion is a new lineup for BYD, and will be BYD's SUV lineup in the Ocean series, BYD previously said.
