BYD SEALION 7 Spare Parts Guide: Body, Lighting, Brake and Suspension Parts

The SEALION 7 needs its own parts list. It is a battery-electric coupe-SUV with no engine, so service is lighter, but its lighting, sensors and body parts are model-specific and do not fit the SEALION 6.

What makes the SEALION 7 parts list different?

The SEALION 7 is built on BYD's e-Platform 3.0 and uses the Blade Battery. It comes with rear-wheel drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive. There is no oil, no engine air filter and no spark plugs. In their place you will see more thermal-management, sensor and electrical parts. For a workshop used to petrol SUVs, the biggest change is that most repair spending goes into body, lighting and electronics rather than engine service.

Which body and lighting parts are most often ordered?

The styling uses parts that are costly to get wrong. The front end has no traditional radiator grille, so the bumper cover and lower intake trims carry much of the design. The slim LED headlights are left- and right-specific and change with market. At the rear, a full-width light bar runs across the tailgate, split into sections.

• Slim LED headlight assemblies, left and right, with the correct beam pattern for your traffic side.
• Rear light bar and tail-light sections: the outer sections sit on the body, the inner sections on the tailgate.
• Front and rear bumper covers, intake trims, beams, brackets and sensor holders.
• Flush, motorised door handles, matched to door position and trim.
• Mirror assemblies, which carry surround-view cameras on many trims.
• Hood, fenders, tailgate, wheel-arch trims and side skirts, shipped in primer.

Do RWD and AWD versions use the same brakes and suspension?

Not always. Body panels and lighting are usually the same across drive layouts. Brakes, hubs, drive parts and some suspension components can differ, because the AWD version adds a front motor and extra weight. The safest route is to send the VIN with any chassis order.

What should you check after bumper or front-end work?

Cars with driver-assistance radar have a radar unit mounted behind the front bumper. If the bumper, its brackets or the radar bracket are replaced, the radar can sit at a slightly different angle. The same applies to cameras in the mirrors and around the car. A replacement bumper must have the correct radar mounting for your trim.

After any bumper, bracket or mirror replacement on a SEALION 7, have the workshop check radar and camera calibration with suitable equipment before the car goes back on the road.

Do SEALION 7 parts fit the SEALION 6?

Generally no. The SEALION 7 is a different body on a different platform. Body panels, lighting, bumpers, doors and most chassis parts are not interchangeable with the SEALION 6 or the SEAL U. Some generic items such as fuses or clips may be shared, and we check those case by case. If you run a mixed fleet, keep the two models separate in your stock lists.

What does the SEALION 7 need for routine service?

Routine service centres on cabin air filters, brake fluid, coolant for the thermal-management system and wiper blades. Brake pads tend to wear slowly, because regenerative braking does much of the work. Discs can still corrode on cars that rarely brake hard. Suspension links and bushings carry real load on a heavy electric SUV, so fleets often order them in sets.
