Delivery Day in London: BYD Sealion 7 Excellence AWD in Shark Grey with Nappa Leather!

Huge congrats! Shark Grey with the 20-inch twin-spoke wheels and red front 4-pot calipers looks sensational.

@Callum_EV Test drove the Sealion 7 Excellence last weekend—the 50W cooled wireless phone charger and Dynaudio 12-speaker system are top tier.

@Angus_Hall Wait until you try a 350 kW Ionity charger on the motorway—seeing a BYD pull 230 kW and go from 10% to 80% in 24 minutes is rapid!

Spot on breakdown. One detail I noticed after logging another 2,500 km is that the thermal management loop stays completely silent below 32°C ambient unless you chain two fast DC sessions back-to-back.

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Tested these exact settings on my weekend highway run and cabin NVH + efficiency were spot on.

My experience has been almost identical over the past 4 months. Zero rattles in the cabin so far, and the 360-degree camera clarity at night is still the best in its price bracket.

Interesting point about the charging curve. I found that plugging in around 15–18% SOC gives the fastest sustained peak kW before the BMS gently tapers above 80%.

For anyone reading this later: make sure you enable SOC calibration by charging to 100% on AC at least once every two to three weeks so the BMS range estimator stays dead accurate.

Subscribed to this thread. Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.

I ran the exact same test last month on a rainy weekend trip. Regen braking in High mode remained super predictable, and the LFP pack voltage delta stayed under 12 mV on my OBD2 scanner.
