Pune: BYD (Build Your Dreams), the Chinese electric car maker, on Thursday introduced a new entry-level variant of the Sealion 7 called the new Dynamic trim at an introductory price of Rs 41.90 lakh.
It replaces the premium as the base trim and is Rs 8 lakh more affordable.
“The strategic expansion is a direct response to the overwhelming customer interest in the existing BYD Sealion 7 variants,” said Rajeev Chauhan, Head of Electric Passenger Vehicle Business at BYD India.

The Dynamic trim offers features such as a panoramic glass roof, a rotating touchscreen infotainment system, Intelligent Torque Adaptation Control, and an extensive array of safety and driver assistance tech.
BYD has also announced a festive offer under which Sealion 7 Dynamic customers will receive a complimentary 7 kWh home charger with installation.
The carmaker is also offering a 10-year roadside assistance coverage extension and a 10-year / 1.5 lakh km extended warranty on the battery.
With this launch, BYD's is trying to build a stronger presence in India's electric vehicle market. The company currently has 48 dealerships across 40 cities and is continuing to develop its sales and service network across the country.
