- BYD India launched the BYD Sealion 7 Festive Edition on October 12, 2026 at Rs 50.60 lakh ex-showroom. It is limited to 150 units and keeps the Premium rear-wheel drive powertrain with no mechanical change.
- The only confirmed change is a Tan and Black interior colour. Range, battery, motor output, comfort list and safety list stay the same, while booking amount and delivery date remain unconfirmed.
BYD India has launched the BYD Sealion 7 Festive Edition in India on October 12, 2026. It is priced at Rs 50.60 lakh ex-showroom and limited to 150 units for the festive season.
It is a special edition, not a new generation or a regular variant. It is based on the Premium rear-wheel drive for buyers who prefer a warmer cabin colour.
The company says the Festive Edition adds a Tan and Black two-tone cabin to the Premium. It describes the trim as a warmer finish for buyers who want a lighter interior.
Nothing else changes. The company lists no update to exterior design, wheels, battery, motor, range, suspension, software, sunroof, audio, airbags or driver assistance. Seats keep the same shape and functions, with colour as the only difference.
The edition is part of the company's festive campaign. It is cosmetic. Buyers expecting more power, more range or faster charging from the badge will not find it here.
Inside, the layout matches the standard Premium. The company lists a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, quilted Nappa leather seats, a panoramic glass roof with electric sunshade and a head-up display, which projects speed and navigation cues ahead of the driver.
The list also includes a powered tailgate, driver seat memory, ambient lighting and a 12-speaker system. Safety list is unchanged, with 11 airbags and a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. Euro NCAP is the European crash test programme.
The light Tan trim may show stains faster than black, so buyers should ask about cleaning and trim warranty. The company has not announced a separate accessory pack or discount for the 150 cars.
The mechanicals match the standard Premium, with no separate tune claimed.

Blade is BYD name for its lithium iron phosphate pack, while Cell-to-Body means the pack forms part of the body structure. iTAC, or Intelligence Torque Adaption Control, adjusts wheel torque to aid stability.
A Quick Note: The 567 km NEDC figure, or New European Driving Cycle, is a laboratory claim for comparison. Actual range changes with speed, load, traffic, temperature and air conditioning use.
The BYD Sealion 7 Festive Edition is the Premium in different clothes, and the company is not pretending otherwise. You pay Rs 70,000 more for the Tan and Black cabin and the 150-unit tag, with no extra power, range or equipment.
If that cabin is what you wanted, and you can secure an allotment, it is worth a shortlist. If you want a lower price, stay with the Premium. If you want all-wheel drive pace, test the Performance.
