3 · Everyday experience

What is the Sealion 07 DM-i like to drive and use every day?

Only current English content and deterministic published facts are shown. Dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.

Driving & performance

Typical trims are strong, with a further step up on higher trims.

Published power, acceleration and drivetrain show how performance changes across trims; they do not replace an untranslated road-test verdict.

Published evidence

  • Published power spans 200–350 kW across current trims.
  • Published 0–100 km/h times span 4.7–7.9 sec 0–100 km/h.
  • Drivetrain choices: Dual-motor all-wheel drive / Front-wheel drive.
  • The daily driving power is light and quick, and the start from traffic lights is not sluggish, but the pushback feeling is not strong; the power reserve is sufficient for medium and high-speed cruising, but deep pressing of the accelerator is required for sudden acceleration.
  • The city commuting power is sufficient, and I have confidence in overtaking.
  • The high-speed acceleration capability is average, and the acceleration feeling weakens when fully loaded.
  • Leading for typical maximum power across 45 series
  • Below average for typical 0–100 km/h across 32 series

Cabin comfort

Core comfort equipment is consistent across the lineup.

This conclusion uses only direct seat, suspension and climate equipment. Body dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.

Published evidence

  • Second-row functions — Standard across all trims.
  • Suspension — Standard across all trims.
  • Climate control — Standard across all trims.
  • The chassis tuning is moderately soft and hard, filtering small bumps cleanly, but there is some excessive shaking during large undulations; the rear legroom is spacious, and the floor is flat, but the headroom is affected by the sloping roof design.
  • Long-distance riding is not fatiguing, and the comfort on bumpy roads is above average for its class.
  • The roll suppression during rapid cornering is average, and the sporty feeling is lacking.

Space & practicality

Paying more does not buy a larger body or longer wheelbase.

All current trims use the same key body dimensions, so trim choice changes equipment and performance rather than cabin size.

Published evidence

  • Seating capacity: 5 seats.
  • Body length: 4,880 mm, unchanged by trim.
  • Wheelbase: 2,820 mm, unchanged by trim.
  • Audio system — Standard across all trims.
  • Keyless access — Standard across all trims.
  • The trunk is neat and has a large capacity, sufficient for daily storage and family outings; the pure electric range meets daily commuting needs, and fuel consumption is low when battery is depleted, but actual range is affected by driving conditions.
  • 645L basic volume, loading a baby carriage and trunk is no pressure.
  • The sloping roof slightly affects the height of the trunk opening, requiring skill to place large items.
  • Leading for length across 45 series
  • Leading for wheelbase across 45 series

Smart tech & daily use

Core connected features are standard across the lineup.

Only formally defined connected, assistance, parking and display parameters are included.

Published evidence

  • Driver assistance — Standard across all trims.
  • Parking assistance — Standard across all trims.
  • Center screen — Standard across all trims.
  • OTA updates — Standard across all trims.
  • Connected car services — Standard across all trims.
  • High-speed long-distance driving reduces fatigue, and safety is guaranteed.
  • The recognition ability of stationary vehicles is average, and the city scene experience is not perfect.
  • High screen resolution, detailed display, and good reflection control

Reference data

Specs explained

High-value published parameters are shown only where the current visible trims provide them.

China list price

CN¥169,800–CN¥205,800

The published China list-price range shows the entry point and how far upper trims extend. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Mid-pack among comparable series with sufficient data

CLTC range

135–150 km

A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Above average among comparable series with sufficient data

WLTC range

110–120 km

A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Above average among comparable series with sufficient data

Battery capacity

26.6 kWh

Battery capacity helps explain range potential, weight and charging needs. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Above average among comparable series with sufficient data

DC charging power

53 kW

Peak DC power indicates charging capability, while an actual stop also depends on the charging curve and conditions. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Maximum power

200–350 kW

Published maximum power helps frame acceleration capability and overtaking reserve. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Maximum torque

315–655 N·m

Torque is one input to initial response; calibration, gearing and traction also matter. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

0–100 km/h

4.7–7.9 sec

A lower published 0–100 km/h time indicates quicker straight-line acceleration. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Below average among comparable series with sufficient data

Drivetrain

Fwd / dual motor awd

Drivetrain changes traction and can separate entry and performance trims. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Seats

5

Seat count is a capacity fact, not proof of passenger comfort. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Length

4,880 mm

Length affects road footprint and parking space; it does not directly prove cabin room. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Width

1,920 mm

Width affects road and parking footprint and may support shoulder room, without proving it. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Wheelbase

2,820 mm

Wheelbase is a packaging dimension and is not used alone as a ride-comfort conclusion. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Body style

SUV

Body style helps frame access and cargo layout, but exact usability still depends on the vehicle. The published value is the same across all current trims.
