Tesla Model Y takes aim at BYD Sealion 7 in India's electric SUV segment: Price, range, features and more compared
Tesla has officially entered the Indian automobile market with the launch of its Model Y SUV. The electric vehicle (EV) maker has also opened its first retail outlet in India, strategically located at the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai. Bookings for the new Tesla Model Y are now open via the company's official website, with deliveries of the standard rear-wheel-drive (RWD) variant set to commence within this quarter. Deliveries for the Long Range rear-wheel-drive variant are scheduled to commence in October 2025. The Tesla Model Y enters a growing premium EV market in India, where it will compete with the likes of the BYD Sealion 7, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Volvo's XC40 and C40 Recharge models. In India, the Tesla Model Y is being offered in two trims: the Standard rear-wheel-drive version at ₹ 59.89 lakh and the Long Range rear-wheel-drive variant at ₹ 67.89 lakh, both prices ex-showroom. In contrast, the BYD Sealion 7 also offers two options, the Premium and the Performance, priced at ₹ 48.9 lakh and ₹ 54.9 lakh, respectively. Both EVs are brought into the country as completely built units (CBUs), which adds significantly to their pricing due to import duties. This places the entry-level Tesla at ₹ 10.99 lakh more than the base Sealion 7, while the top-end Model Y Long Range is priced ₹ 12.99 lakh higher than the Sealion's Performance variant. In terms of size, the BYD Sealion 7 holds a slight edge. It measures 4,830 mm in length, 1,925 mm in width, and 1,620 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,930 mm. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model Y is shorter at 4,751 mm long, 1,920 mm wide, and 1,624 mm high, with a 2,891 mm wheelbase. The differences suggest that the Sealion 7 may offer slightly more interior space. Both versions of the BYD Sealion 7 come fitted with an 82.56 kWh battery pack. The Premium version features a single motor RWD setup, producing 313 PS and 380 Nm torque, with a claimed range of 567 km. The Performance variant comes with a dual-motor AWD setup, generating 530 PS and 630 Nm, and offers a slightly lower claimed range of 542 km. Tesla has not officially disclosed the exact battery specifications or power figures for the India-spec Model Y. However, it states that the Standard version delivers a WLTP range of up to 500 km, with a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 5.9 seconds. The Long Range variant offers a claimed driving range of 622 km and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. Both versions are RWD and have a stated top speed of 201 km/h. The Tesla Model Y comes fitted with a 15.3-inch infotainment display, ventilated and heated front seats with power adjustment, and heated rear seats that can be folded electronically. Additional highlights include an 8-inch display for rear passengers, a 9-speaker sound system, ambient interior lighting, dual-zone climate control with separate air vents, and a panoramic glass roof. The vehicle is equipped with eight external cameras to support advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), though specific features for India have not been detailed. The BYD Sealion 7 is equipped with a 15.6-inch rotating central touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. It offers electrically adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation, dual-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and a 12-speaker sound system. On the safety and driver assistance front, the vehicle includes 11 airbags, a 360-degree camera setup, a head-up display, and advanced features such as blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, forward collision alert, and automatic emergency braking. While both vehicles cater to premium EV buyers, the Tesla Model Y commands a significant price premium over the BYD Sealion 7. With both models arriving as imports, their long-term success may depend on government policy, localisation plans, and infrastructure development. As the Indian EV market continues to evolve, competition is set to intensify among global automakers vying for early dominance.

Present at the event were India men's captain Shubman Gill , women's captain Harmanpreet Kaur, team members, and coaching staff. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Speaking to ANI, Shukla said, "It was a very historic occasion that both our men's and women's teams were invited today by King Charles and met them very well in the Palace. Players are very happy because he asked all personal details of each player. He asked Saikia ji (BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia) and me about whether Arun Jaitley is my friend, what happened to him, and when I told him that he had died, he asked me to pay condolences to his family. He also asked about Akash Deep's sister's illness." "He had found out so many details. He sounded like a gentleman, and it did not seem we were talking to the King of England. There is a lot of humility in him and team is very happy to meet him," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Shukla further revealed that King Charles also discussed the thrilling third Test at Lord's, calling Mohammed Siraj's dismissal 'unfortunate,' as the ball spun back onto the stumps after being middled. That moment ended India's late resistance in their chase of 193, resulting in a 22-run loss. India vs England: India fall short at Lord's, England lead series 2-1 "Even he noticed this fact. If we had another regular batter on the field, then we could have won easily. Our team has proven that our experiment is well done (to send a young team), as part of which we have sent a new team because we are looking forward to the future. The team has proven itself to be a fighter unit. We almost won here. We did well at Leeds. Our team is competing with England equally and will win the series as two matches are since left," he added. Commenting on Shubman Gill's leadership, Shukla praised the young captain for answering critics with both leadership and runs. "He has also proven himself with the bat. A century, then a double century and a century, what could be better than this?" added the BCCI Vice President. On the absence of senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who retired from Tests before the series, Shukla said their decision was personal and respected by the board. "They have retired themselves. We will always miss them, they are both great batsmen and the good thing for us is that they are available for ODIs," he concluded. Also present at the gathering were BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla and India's High Commissioner to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami. While the men's team is currently engaged in the five-Test series in England, the women's team recently clinched a historic 3-2 T20I series win and will now play three ODIs starting Wednesday in Southampton. During the meeting, King Charles had a brief chat with Shubman Gill, where the two discussed the dramatic ending of the third Test. Referring to Siraj's dismissal, the King remarked on the misfortune of the ball rolling back to hit the stumps. Gill responded, 'It's a game of cricket.' Shubman Gill blames 'judgement error' as Rishabh Pant run-out haunts India in Lord's heartbreak Charles also shared a light-hearted moment with vice-captain Rishabh Pant and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, laughing together during their conversation. He later interacted with the rest of the squad, including Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and head coach Gautam Gambhir. Following that, he spent time with the Indian women's team as well. Before meeting the King, the Indian contingent also had an informal interaction with British actor and musician Idris Elba. Speaking with Gill, Bumrah, and Pant, Elba said, 'I'd say I'm a fan, but I don't follow cricket as well as I should. I was just a little bowler, that's all.' He later also spoke to members of the women's team. After the group photos, King Charles also spoke with India quick Prasidh Krishna and batter Karun Nair, and met uncapped left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh. Gill described the experience of meeting King Charles as a memorable one: 'It was amazing. I think he was very kind and generous to be able to call us here, and it was a pleasure meeting the king, and we had some really good conversations.' He also spoke about the King's reference to the dramatic final moments of the Lord's Test: 'Yes, he did tell us that the way our last batsman got out was quite unfortunate. The ball was rolling on the stumps, and he was just asking us how we felt after that, and we told him it was an unfortunate match for us. It could have gone either way, but hopefully we will have better luck in the next games." Harmanpreet Kaur also shared her thoughts, saying, "Uh, it was a very nice experience. Uh, we came to England so many times, but this was our first time when we met him, and he was very friendly. He asked us, like, how the travel was and all, and, um, it was really nice to meet him." "Definitely, we have been playing good cricket, and I think with that we are getting a lot of opportunity to express ourselves, so really happy the way things are moving on," she added. Women's team head coach Amol Muzumdar also reflected on the moment, saying, "It has been a very humbling experience coming here to the royal house and meeting the king. It's been the first time, so we came all the way from Southampton, but it was really worth it, and the girls were really excited about this visit, and we are pleased that we are here."

Ravindra Jadeja A Hero Or Villain? Anil Kumble's Remarks On Lord's Test Defeat Stumps Everyone
Team India came tantalizingly close to securing a heroic victory against England at the Lord's Cricket Ground on Monday. Ravindra Jadeja stood tall against a daunting England bowling attack as the team kept losing wickets at the other end. Even the tailenders Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja tried their bit to support Jadeja, but fate had the word 'defeat' written for the tourists. As the pundits sit and analyse what went wrong for the Indian team, some feel that Ravindra Jadeja could've done a lot more than scoring an unbeaten 61 off 181 balls. Former India spinner Anil Kumble, one of the greatest to play the game, has questioned Jadeja's approach against England, saying he expected a more positive approach from the all-rounder as he has played on tougher pitches against better bowling attacks. "The two bowlers he could have potentially taken on were Chris Woakes, who is slightly slower in the air, and then Bashir and Joe Root. I know they're off-spinners taking the ball away, but it wasn't turning square. So there wasn't a lot to worry about in terms of spin or the outside edge. Jadeja has played on tougher pitches and against better bowling. I thought he could have taken a chance," Kumble said after the game. "You want to take those risks. Yes, there were a few runs he rightly declined because Bumrah and Siraj were at the other end, but he could have chanced it a bit more," Kumble further said, suggesting a more attacking approach might have been the key for India. Another former India great, Sunil Gavaskar, who had earlier given a similar verdict like Kumble, later said that it was tough for Jadeja to do more than what he had already done in the match. "I think it was dictated by the fact that he was batting with the lower-order batters. He was trying to farm the strike as much as possible. Also, at that stage, you're wary of playing aerial shots on that kind of pitch. And the Indian team tends to take the game deep - that's what he was aiming for," Gavaskar told India Today. After the game, India captain Shubman Gill also shared his verdict on Jadeja's performance, calling him one of the team's 'most valuable players'.
