BYD Sealion 7

[Yorkshire_Biker]

I found the Seal topic, but not one particular to the Sealion 7. This are being heavily introduced here in Indonesia at a price that makes them impossible to ignore - primarily as someone who gets paid in GBP against a weak local currency.

We don't have the Excellence in Indonesia, the Comfort and Design are badged differently - Premium and Performance respectively.
At today's exchange rate a Comfort / Premium is 29k GBP and a Design / Performance is 33k vs 47k & 53k.
We also do not have PCP or other similar tools for purchasing, it's either low deposit and insane interest rates or what I'm going for:
50% deposit (in the form of my 2 year old Yaris Cross HEV) and then 23 payments of 750 GBP/month for a total cost of 36k. This also includes 2 years insurance.
Insurance is a little odd here, you pay to cover the car (any driver), and any incident no matter how big or small has a deductible of about 15 quid, no questions asked, no increase in premiums.

The wife is in the process of ordering a Performance to be at home by the time I get back home in a week or two - assuming the all the nicks and marks on the Yaris Cross are finished in time.

Looking forward to the new car.

It's on my radar as seems cheap on SS lease Haven't seen one in person yet to judge all those aspects such as size, build quality etc.

Also conscious the seal is getting an update including new battery pack and need to check if sealion is the same as old or new seal build.

Good luck with yours

Pretty sure I saw one parked up in a light blue the other day. Looked good, especially for an SUV.

I've got a seal Excellence on the way but it was a toss up between that and the SL7. The SL7 has a lovely interior, didn't drive one but the seal drove really nicely. Not sure I'd ever want to own any of these cars but make a lot of sense to me on Salary Sacrifice.
