A new era of high-performance electric driving has officially landed in the local automotive market with the debut of BYD’s latest flagship, the BYD Sealion zero-emission SUV. Distributed by ACMobility, the automotive arm of Ayala Corporation, the highly anticipated model made its premiere at a public event in Makati City, combining the track-inspired engineering of a sport sedan with the elevated utility of a modern family ride.
“With the BYD Sealion 7, consumers no longer need to choose between high performance thrill and everyday practicality,” says Bob Palanca, Managing Director, BYD Cars Philippines. “Bridging sustainability and dynamic, exhilarating mobility, this vehicle marks another key milestone as we continue to lead the country’s charge towards electrification.”
Engineered for drivers who crave rapid acceleration alongside cutting-edge tech, the vehicle utilizes two independent electric motors to drive all four wheels. The sophisticated powertrain generates a total maximum output of 523 horsepower and 690 Newton-meters of torque, enabling the crossover to sprint from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in under five seconds.
