2025 Seal details have been released in china.

 

Adds:

 

• Roof mounted LiDAR
• 800v fast charging (Assumed based on the Sea Lion 07)
• Updated appearance

And it gets a price cut.

 

The longer range one’s battery is also slightly smaller (80.1 vs 82 kWh) but supposedly has more efficient motor(s) so no drop in range. Shame it won’t have the Blade2 battery.

Most notable to me is the revised interior has replaced the driver’s display “tablet” with a continuous screen. Much better looking IMO. What I can’t work out from the renders, is where the HVAC vents are? I can see the ones in front of the centre console, but not the ones in front of the driver/passenger. They are clearly visible at the outer edges of the dash in the DM-i render but not in the BEV one (which looks like it’s going to be called the Seal 7). But then (in the render) the DM-i also has a visor over the driver’s display the same as the Sealion 6 whereas the Seal 7 doesn’t.

I’m hoping they don’t drop features to keep the price down. For instance the Sealion 6 doesn’t have lumbar support (IIRC).

I wondering if the LiDAR will be only in the Chinese market initially?

There may be some good runout deals on the current Seal models if the projected arrival in Australasia of the Seal 7 in Q1/2 2025 is correct.
