The electric SUV scored highly across all major assessment areas, including adult and child protection, vulnerable road user safety and active safety assist technologies. The 2025 Euro NCAP safety rating applies to all Sealion 7 models in the lineup. Variants tested include both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations.
Tested Variant and Vehicle Category
The tested model was the BYD Sealion 7 'Comfort' left-hand drive version which belongs to the large SUV category and was tested as part of Euro NCAP’s April 2025 safety assessments. The vehicle weighs 2,225 kg and features a five-door body style.
Adult Occupant Safety – 87%
The Sealion 7 provided strong protection in most scenarios tested. It scored 34.8 out of 39 points.
- Frontal impact tests showed stability in the passenger compartment with good protection for knees and femurs.
- Side impact and pole tests recorded maximum points for protection of all critical body areas.
- Rear-end protection was rated well for whiplash injuries in both front and rear seats.
- The vehicle includes a centre airbag for occupant-to-occupant protection and an advanced eCall system for emergency situations.
Child Occupant Safety – 93%
The Sealion 7 scored 46.0 out of 49 points in this category.
- It showed full protection for six- and ten-year-old child dummies in both frontal and side impacts.
- All restraint systems could be correctly installed.
- A ‘child presence detection’ system is included, which alerts occupants if a child is left inside the vehicle.

Vulnerable Road Users – 76%
The SUV scored 48.4 out of 63 points.
- Head impact protection for pedestrians and cyclists was mixed, with weaker results near the windscreen pillars.

The car has a direct driver status monitoring system as standard, detecting driver fatigue and some forms of distraction.
