Sealion 7 in 2026 — what's new

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the RM188,800 Premium. Its 91.39 kWh battery delivers the longest quoted range at 650 km, and its 308 hp rear-wheel-drive layout is a substantial step up from the RM163,800 Dynamic’s 228 hp and 520 km. Pay RM203,800 for the Performance only if all-wheel drive and 523 hp matter more than maximum range; it gives up 50 km against the Premium. The RM25,000 jump from Dynamic to Premium is easier to justify than the RM15,000 move from Premium to Performance.

Its starting price sits RM3,852 above the Xpeng G6 and RM5,000 above the Zeekr X, but RM5,200 below the smart #1.
