BYD to unveil Sea Lion 07, new supercar platform and concept car on Nov 17

BYD will headline the upcoming Guangzhou auto show this Friday with the launch of the Sea Lion 07 SUV, as well as a new supercar platform and concept car under the Yangwang premium brand.

The Sea Lion 07 sits under BYD's Ocean Series and is based on the carmaker's e-Platform 3.0, created by global Design Director Wolfgang Josef Egger's team. The Sea Lion 07 will compete head-on with Tesla's most popular Model Y.

The Sea Lion 07 will have BYD's Oceanic Aesthetic design language and will take after BYD's Ocean X concept. The e-Platform 3.0 has integrated blade batteries in the car body for superior rigidity, an an all-wheel drive electric powertrain and a promise of up to 620 miles of range. Odds are that refers to an EREV version, but we'd be happy to be proven wrong and to get that from a BEV car.

Moving on to BYD's premium Yangwang brand. It will announce two breakthroughs - a new 'supercar' platform to 'challenge the upper limit of performance and safety', and a concept car.

The announcements will happen on November 17 when the Guangzhou auto show kicks off.
