Comparison: Range (WLTP) BYD Sealion 7 vs. competitors 2025

The range of an electric car, such as this , refers to the maximum distance it can travel on a single charge of its battery. This can vary widely depending on factors such as the size and capacity of the battery (Sealion 7 : 82 kWh), the vehicle's weight ((Sealion 7 : 2225 kg)) and aerodynamics, and the driving conditions.The WLTP range cycle (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure) is a test procedure specifically designed to measure the range and consumption of an electric vehicle. It is done in variety of driving conditions, such as urban, suburban and highway driving , as well as air conditioning and heating usage.This test aims to provide a more realistic estimate of an electric vehicle's range than the previous testing method (NEDC), which was based on a single driving cycle.The longest range you can find amongst similar vehicles has Audi Q6 e-tron (GF ), which is 139km more than the Sealion 7 - 621 km. For illustration, the difference in battery capacity between the BYD and the Audi is 18kWh. On the other hand, the shortest range in the "medium SUV" category belongs to Togg T10X Standardversion , which is 314 km - that makes it 168km shorter than the BYD in question.
