The BYD Sealion 8 marks new era for the brand, and an SUV that is flagship car, extending more than five meters long and boasting presence that's on par with the well-known luxury brands such as the BMW X7 and Mazda CX-90. The Sealion 8 boasts 3,030 mm wheelbase, and comes with choice of six or seven seats, and plug-in hybrid powertrain with maximum output of 359kW. We have been monitoring BYD since 2016 and think that the Sealion 8 should have accessories to match its leadership status. What are the best interior and exterior changes to make to this incredible EV?
Interior Refinement: Protecting and Elevating the Cabin
The cabin of the Sealion 8 comes in BYD's most luxurious configuration to date, with 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen console and 10.25-inch digital cluster, with Premium-grade leather upholstery on par with European marques. The high-specification Premium AWD version has front and second row massage functions, premium 21-speaker sound system and wide-angle head-up display. Even the best interiors need protecting and proper organization.
We have custom-fit floor mat and trunk mat for the Sealion 8, based on 3D scanning technology to fit all the contour of the cabin. Keeping that area clean is vital, as there's enough space behind the third row for 270 liters of load, and it folds flat to use up 960 liters of cargo. Our waterproof, wear resistant TPE matting will hold mud, spills, debris and be easily cleaned. The second row provides limousine-style legroom and slides seats allow for air vents to be mounted in the roof of the cabin, the storage boxes and organizers keep tablets, bottles and charging cables tidy and in place for second row passengers. The clean look of the Sealion 8's dashboard and the fact it has few small item compartments is elegant, but not very practical; our center-console inserts provide extra storage without detracting from the sleek design.
Exterior Enhancement: Aerodynamic Styling and Protection
The Sealion 8's exterior design is statement of intent, split type headlights, flush pop out door handles and sleek profile of Ocean Aesthetics 2.0 turns heads. Its massive size (over 5,100 mm long) requires additional attention for parking and maneuvering, however. Our exterior protection accessories are designed to help keep that showroom shine and personalize it.
Owners of the Sealion 8 who head out on to less smooth city roads will need our chassis guards and underbody shields. The low battery pack and advanced DiSus-A air suspension system ensures that the vehicle is well protected from stones, speed bumps and debris. Our guards are precision-stamped from high strength materials, and are bolted directly to the factory mounting points without drilling. If you're looking to add some visual flair, our side skirts and rear diffusers will enhance the already aggressive look of the Sealion 8, while our tail wings (subtle, ducktail or sportier) will add aerodynamic stability at high speeds. Also available are guards for doorsill and paint protection film kits to fit the body design of the Sealion 8, keeping your flagship ship as clean and as new as the day you picked up your first!
Precision Engineering: The Maremlyn Difference
What makes our accessories the ideal choice for Sealion 8 owners? It begins with our dedication to EV specific design. Rather than modifying parts from old energy vehicles, our R&D team of 12 engineers focuses on new energy vehicles and takes every accessory into account based on the cooling airflow of the battery, weight distribution, and location of sensors. We have 4 production bases with 3D scanners, injection molding machines, blow molding machines, punches, cutting machines and laser equipment, which ensures we can prototype and validate our new designs quickly, with quality control.
We are committed to innovation and legal compliance, which is reflected in our portfolio of more than 200 design patents obtained in China, Thailand, Japan and Australia. All designs are made with original-car 3D data scanning for a perfectly designed fit, with no changes made. We offer accessories that are compatible with the unique DiPilot 5.0 intelligent driving system, LiDAR sensors and 800V charging architecture found in all Sealion 8 vehicles, ranging from the Dynamic FWD and Dynamic AWD to the range topper, the Premium AWD.
Complete Customisation: From Floor Mats to Roof Racks
All Sealion 8 variants can either feature the 205kW DM-i front-wheel-drive or the 359kW DM-p all-wheel-drive as a powertrain, and are offered in six or seven-seat versions. We have all variants in our catalog. In addition to roof mats and exterior styling, we also have rain guards, compatible with all seasons, and tow bar-compatible accessories for all who take advantage of the Sealion 8's towing capabilities. We also supply wheel-arch guards and mud flaps for the Premium AWD (21 inch alloy wheels) with its Dark Aquamarine hero color option to keep the expensive alloys from getting debris on them.
The organized front compartment space on our frunk storage solutions is also available on the Sealion 8, for organized storage of charging cables and emergency kits. Having supplied accessories for the Deepal G318 and BYD Leopard 5, we have the know-how to provide high quality, durability and fitment accuracy that highly discerning owners are looking for. Whether you're interested in our entire range, or you have a specific project in mind, our sales team is here to help you put your Sealion 8 to work today and make it the personalized flagship it deserves to be.
