All the time, my budget for a new car is $300k, but because I got not much interest in current models and those that I do really like Lexus RX is much more expensive. I am conservative with my spending lor. Plus now with extra golf games I am playing and other spending. Haha. I need to strike a balance. 

Like I say, I got a ride that is playing the "you got something nice liao, no need to look beyond as yet" Singapore is not going to be cheap when I retire as we mostly say here

For the price of Lexus RX, you can buy 2 Sealion7.

ICE (incl hybrid) will lose out to EV in terms of pricing.

Haha, again, $300k can be very useful for me, in case I want to buy a small fishing boat, it can be use to buy a luxurious one

@Soya Hi. Just came across this forum after trying to find local reviews of SL7. 

 

Booked mine 1 day before motorshow at the guaranteed COE price of $193,888. Did in fact get my COE end Jan with no top-up. Was told delivery maybe around late Feb or end Mar though.

Is everyone buying SEALION7 from Sime-Vantage?  Is it possible to get a better deal from the other dealers? 

• 1826
• Motoreast
• Harmony = HexieAuto

I saw the above by Googling, only after begun discussion with Sime salesperson, so I never contacted them. Any bros here can share?

Saw the car on the street already 

[TurboSkyHawk]

So does Sealion sold here have the God's eye driver assistant feature which they just announced?

[carlitenoteasy]

@TurboSkyHawk I don't believe so. At least not at this time. I heard that there are 3 versions of the tech. A, B, and C. With A being the best. Perhaps the C version is possible since it doesn't need Lidar. A (at least 3 LIDARs), B(1 LIDAR), and C just using cameras and relevant software features.
Maybe those who has Sealion 7 in Singapore can chime in to let us know what you have

[TurboSkyHawk]

@carlitenoteasy I don't expect A or B type, even the C type is better than normal adaptive L2 already.

[loliamsmart]

Seems like backlog quite heavy. Everyone expecting a month ish - 2mths wait for the car?

All BYD BEV use their proprietary blade battery cells incorporating LFP rather than NMC chemistry. The important difference between LFP and NMC is the significant increase in the number of charge cycles available. LFP can do around 3,000 charge cycles while MNC can do about half at 1,500 charge cycles.

The State of Health (SOH) of the battery determines when it needs replacing. Generally the lower limit is around 70%. This means that after 3,000 cycles of 0% to 100% charge and discharge, the battery pack should reach around 70% SOH.  According to specs the Sealion 7 with a 82.5kWhr LFP battery pack will do a WLTP range of 480km. At worst case, the mileage is around 1,008,000 kms or roughly doing just a little bit over 50,000km / year for the next 20 years or two cycles of CoEs before the battery needs replacing. This is about twice the milage you are doing now - so no issue on the battery. With your current mileage, the battery will last around 40 years.

Will there be CAT A version?
