Aircon adjustment can done with three finger swipe up/down to adjust temperature or left/right to adjust fan speed, on the screen.

I have a BYD Atto 3 here in Australia. A very impressive smaller EV. Had it for two years now and one of the best decisions I've ever made. The drive is maybe a little too soft for some but I enjoy it and more importantly, 'so does her indoors'.

BYD is now delivering its first Monorail train in Sao Paulo !

My boss has the Seal, its very stylish and comfortable to be in. Very high quality I must say.

I experienced the BYD sea Lion at the Paris motor show a few weeks ago. I'm a big Tesla fan and own a Model Y RWD, a Y dual motor and a 3 performance. Lemme tell you... The Sea Lion is incredible and will devour the market. Amazing car

BYD also use their patented design of batteries called Blade. Which is much safer than a standard design of LFP.
Blade 2 Battery which will be available on certain models next year will have more than a 20% increase in range.

You can change the aircon (temp/fan) with buttons on steering wheel or swipe (with 3 fingers) on screen. No need to delve into menus.

Top trim version is now here in Norway 4wd with absolutely everything (except winter tires and rims those are extra ) is 42K$ / 40K Euros. Pretty sweet price for the fully equipped top trim. The offer lasts until New year and deliveries are happening from december 1st. It is alot and really ALOT better equipped compared to model Y and it is superquiet in comparison. And frankly..stop reviewing the "sportiness" of these suv models. These are made for space and families and not any kind of track or sport use at all. Getting tiring seeing EV channels talk so much about sport handling on a vehicle that is lightyears from being anything sporty.

Interesting. I'll wait for Bjorn to road test this on his 1000km run and then see how good it really is on a long journey.

We've got such bad streets, that I care more about a soft, luxurious ride, rather than cornering capabilities.

Very beautiful car, but damn, how sedans look so muck better than SUVs. Byd Seal is still one of the most beautiful cars I've seen in the last years

BYD really stepping up it's game, just amazing how far they come from firs BYD models. Sealion 7 looks quite good, can't wait we get BYD here in Slovenia 😊❤

[GothPaoki]

Btw this was designed by Wolfgang egger. No wonder it probably looks more western like than most byd vehicles and also has that sporty, coupe like style.

BYD is such a well refined car. As a BYD owner myself, I absolutely love the attention to details and emphasis on Quality and Safety.

Just took this car for a test drive today for 2 hours - comparing it to the Enyaq Coupe, Volvo EC40 and Tesla Model 3+Y, this car did surprisingly well!
Ranging from city roads, highway and off-road 🎉

Why don't reviewers become familiar with how screens are used for functions before being criticcal. The 3-finger swipe up/down or across instantly adjusts temperature and fan speed.
The BYD owners I know just *talk* to their car to carry out ALL basic functions, like navigation. music, winding up/down windows or open/closing the sun roof or shade.

A glaring error from the many car reviewers on BYD cars. There is no need to dig into multiple menus levels to adjust aircond settings. 3 finger swipe from left to right (or vice-versa) adjusts the fan speed. 3 finger swipe from top to bottom adjusts the temperature. You can also use voice commands.

[Wallenstone]

So impressive - I'd love to see it in Austria in mid of January.

It weighs about the same as 7 sea lions 😂
