2026 BYD SEALION 8 Premium AWD 7-Seater Super Hybrid

Arrive at the pinnacle of BYD's New Zealand SUV range and experience a level of seven-seat luxury that redefines what a family SUV can be with the ***BYD Sealion 8 Premium AWD*** - now available at BYD North Shore. Every element of the already impressive Dynamic AWD is elevated here, adding a flagship technology and comfort specification that positions the Premium AWD squarely against the best European and Japanese luxury seven-seaters - it's hard to think of another 7-seat SUV that combines such presence, quality, equipment and on-road ability with the impressive EV range of BYD's Super Hybrid technology.

**DM-p Dual Motor AWD Performance:** Dual electric motors delivering a combined 359kW and 675Nm, with a secondary 200kW/350Nm motor on the rear axle and a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine - launching 0-100km/h in just 4.9 seconds with a near-silent, seamlessly composed delivery that defies its size and class.

**DiSUS-C Intelligent Adaptive Suspension:** DiSUS-C adaptive suspension technology actively adjusts damping in milliseconds to balance comfort and handling across every driving scenario, controlling lateral body roll, pitch, and offering incredible vertical vibration isolation - with independently adjustable suspension modes across Comfort, Normal, and Sport settings for a genuinely customisable driving experience.

**Extended Electric & Combined Range:** A 35.6kWh Blade Battery 2.0 delivering up to 152km of pure electric driving range (NEDC) and a combined petrol-electric range of up to 1, 017km from a single tank and full charge, with 74kW DC rapid charging and 11kW AC home charging supported as standard.

**Premium Flagship Interior:** A 21-speaker DiSound premium sound system and a 26-inch heads-up display elevate the Premium above the Dynamic, alongside the 15.6-inch rotating infotainment touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital driver display, massaging front seats, heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats, three-zone climate control with ceiling vents across all three rows, and a full-length panoramic sunroof.

**Family-First Safety & Capability:** Nine airbags including third-row curtain airbags, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) discharge capability, third-row ISOFIX anchor points, 2, 000kg braked towing capacity, BYD DiPilot intelligent driver assistance suite, and selectable ECO, Normal, Sport, Snow, Mud, and Sand drive modes for genuine all-terrain confidence.
