Ever wondered what living with Australia’s top-selling BYD Sealion 7 Premium for a year and 30,000km is like? A retired automotive marketing director bought the rear-drive model in 2025 for $55,990 driveaway, skipping the $9k Performance variant (just for a heated steering wheel). Mostly driving highways and country roads, they found its 230kW power smooth enough. Average efficiency hit 18.1kWh/100km—slightly above NEDC’s 17, but better than WLTP’s 19.9. Would you pay extra for that heated wheel, or stick with the Premium’s value?
