The Australian website currently defines the SEALION 8 as a seven-seat Super Hybrid, available with DM-i and DM-p. The 359 kW, 0—100 km/h 4.9-second acceleration, and 152 km of all-electric range highlighted on the homepage apply only to the DM-p, and the electric range is labeled NEDC.
These figures cannot be directly compared with the WLTP all-electric range of the SEALION 7, and the SEALION 8 should not be treated as an all-electric version of the SEALION 7. When choosing a seven-seat vehicle, you should also check the third-row space, luggage capacity, and child-seat installation in person.
