Inside Future Mobility

Chinese giant aims straight at the Tesla Model Y with its new electric family SUV What do you call a bigger, taller Seal? A Sealion 7, apparently.Taxonomies of the animal kingdom be damned, the BYD Sealion 7 starts a new naming strategy for thisÂ Chinese car brand.In future, new SUVs will all be called Sealion, saloons Seal and hatchbacks Dolphin, each with a number to indicate its relative positioning in the range. But none of the current crop is being renamedÂ and the Atto 3 is staying put, because renaming that would be confusing â€“ obviously.So the Sealion 7 is the SUV version of the Seal saloon (what the Tesla Model Y is to the Model 3). Itâ€™s not to be confused with the Seal U, which is a slightly smaller SUV thatâ€™s mechanically completely different.Â
