## Is the BYD Sealion 7 worth considering?

ADAC measured 24.1 kWh/100 km on the Excellence AWD against 21.9 kWh/100 km WLTP, which works out at about 430 km instead of the official 502 km, and NAF's charging test matched BYD's 24-minute 10–80% claim. The 82.5 kWh versions charge at a lower 150 kW and take a claimed 32 minutes, so check which version you are offered.
