  • Lease a BYD Sealion 7 From £270 Per Month

    Lease a BYD Sealion 7 From £270 Per Month

    Find out why you should lease this Chinese SUV with loads of interior space, which could be yours to lease from £270 per month. 

    My pick for today’s deal of the day is an electric SUV that not only offers plenty of interior space and great on-board tech, but also delivers smooth, powerful performance. I’m talking about the BYD Sealion 7, which could be yours to lease from £270 per month through Carwow.

    Did you know you can lease a brand new or used car right here on Carwow? We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.

    Lease a BYD Sealion 7 from £270 per month*

    You can lease a BYD Sealion 7 in ‘Comfort’ spec from £272.29 per month (initial payment: £3,562.48) on a 24-month, 5,000-mile-per-year deal through Carwow. This is a great deal because it comes with a 308hp single motor and a range of up to 300 miles. It also comes with the following features:

    • 15.6-inch infotainment screen
    • All-round LED lights
    • Heated and ventilated seats
    • 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system

    Why consider the BYD Sealion 7?

    The Sealion 7 has a boot capacity of 520 litres.

    I’d recommend the BYD Sealion 7 because it’s a roomy electric SUV that punches above its price. Sporty looks, C-shaped LED headlights, and a sleek roofline make it more distinctive than the bland Seal U, and on paper it competes well with the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV6, and Peugeot E-3008. It’s not as flashy as the BYD Seal, but it still manages to turn heads.

    Inside, it’s surprisingly comfortable and practical. The cabin feels premium, with flowing lines and a huge 15.6-inch rotating infotainment screen. The front seats are big and cozy, rear passengers get plenty of space, and storage is generous, with a 520-litre boot, underfloor compartment, and even a frunk. Perfect for families or anyone who likes to carry a lot of gear.

    It’s also smooth and powerful on the road, though range may fall short of the claimed figures. The suspension can feel bouncy and steering a bit twitchy, but if you value tech, passenger space, and a stylish EV at a reasonable price, the Sealion 7 is a strong, practical choice.

    Alternatives to the BYD Sealion 7

    Prefer something else? Here are three other electric options:

    • Tesla Model Y: Very roomy for passengers and luggage but feels very big on the road.
    • Polestar 4: Classy, quality interior but too many functions require the touchscreen.
    • Cupra Tavascan: Spacious and practical but top-spec models are very expensive.

    Car change? Carwow!

    Mildmay line to partially close over festive period

    London Overground passengers can expect disruption to journeys over the festive period due to track replacement work.

    From 27 December until 4 January, Mildmay line trains will not run between Camden Road and Richmond/Shepherd’s Bush but a special train service will run between Willesden Junction and Stratford via Queen’s Park.

    On Boxing Day there is a shuttle service only between Shepherd’s Bush and Clapham Junction.

    Simon Milburn, from Network Rail Anglia, apologised for the disruption, adding: “But this is a big job that will make a real positive impact for passengers in the long-term.”

    These points will be replaced with the timber sleepers replaced by concrete ones

    Engineers will be replacing 10 sets of points, which are the movable sections of track that allow trains to switch from one line to another.

    The points are currently in poor condition and are held in place by deteriorating timber sleepers, Network Rail says.

    There will be further disruption on the weekends of 10-11 January, 31 January to 1 February and 14-15 February to complete the installation after the new track has settled.

    Railway replacement buses will run throughout the engineering work.

    Mr Milburn added: “The busy Mildmay line is shared with regular heavy freight trains, which means there’s more stress and strain on the track than on other parts of the network.

    “We are installing new track that is built to last for decades to come.”
