Black Friday Car Deal of the Day: BYD Sealion 7 undercuts Tesla Model Y by more than £100 a month
BYD’s swoopy electric SUV is looking seriously affordable right now. It’s our Deal of the Day for November 25
- Coupe-SUV design; high equipment levels
- 300-mile range
- Only £289.93 a month
Chinese carmaker BYD bolstered its range of electric models in the UK last year with the curiously-named Sealion 7. It's a direct rival to the Tesla Model Y, and yet this lease deal sees it undercut its best-selling American rival by more than £100 a month.
Through the Auto Express Buy A Car service, Leasing Options is offering the slinky Sealion 7 for just £289 a month. The cheapest Model Y available right now is £402 a month.
All that's needed to get this two-year deal started is £3,817.15 – that initially looks a bit steep, but remember the low monthly cost you'll be shelling out. Mileage, meanwhile, is capped at 5,000 a year; raising this to 8,000 will cost you another £32 a month, so this deal is better suited to those who drive lower mileages.
Powering the Sealion 7 is a chunky 82.5kWh battery pack, giving a claimed 300 miles between fill-ups. A maximum DC charging rate of 150kW means a 10-to-80 per cent top-up takes around 30 minutes.
The Sealion 7 is a quick car. This Comfort model gets a 308bhp electric motor that drives the rear wheels, and 0-62mph takes 6.7 seconds, while the top speed is 134mph – that's unusually high for an EV.
It's a well equipped one, too. Comfort may be the entry-level spec, but it comes packed with a rotating 15.6-inch touchscreen, a 360-degree parking camera, posh Dynaudio sound system and a panoramic roof with an electric sunblind.
The interior is attractively designed and feels very plush – the leather and leather-effect materials all feel good. It's pretty spacious in the back, too, and although that sloping, coupe-like roof does dent headroom slightly, knee room is excellent.
