Sealion 7 Launch

Indias newest electric luxury SUV, Sealion 7 is launched in the country for a starting price of Rs 48.9 lakh (Ex-sh) for Premium RWD variant and Rs 54.9 lakh (Ex-sh) for Performance AWD variant. The prices are extremely competitive, considering the size, performance, powertrains and equipment Sealion 7 brings to the table.

We say this because the Seal electric sedan launched last year, is priced from Rs 45.55 lakh (Ex-sh) for the larger 82.56 kWh battery pack variants, the same one seen in Sealion 7. The top-spec Performance variant of Seal with dual-motor AWD layout costs Rs 53 lakh (Ex-sh), which is just 1.9 lakh less than Sealion 7.
