BYD Sealion 07 electric SUV launches in another European market [Video]

With sales surging in China, BYD is taking its business overseas as it looks to keep its record growth streak alive. BYD just launched its new midsize electric SUV, the Sealion 07, in another European market. Can BYD’s new electric SUV compete with Tesla’s top-selling Model Y?

BYD’s newest electric SUV stole the spotlight after making its European debut at the Paris Auto Show last month.

The Sealion 07 is “more than just an SUV,” according to BYD’s chief designer, Wolfgang Egger, it’s “a lifestyle statement.” Egger knows a thing or two about European design as the previous head designer of iconic brands like Audi and Lamborghini.

After launching the new Sealion 07 in other European markets earlier this month, BYD’s electric SUV is now headed to Norway.

BYD’s Sealion 07 EV is now available to order in Norway, starting at around $42,200 (NOK 469,900). The new model is only available in the Excellence trim as of right now.
