Saw this while scouring BYD's site, recently ordered a Sealion 7 through a novated lease so works out well to save another couple of grand.
Note that the car must be ordered and DELIVERED by 30 June 2025 to receive the discount, so would suggest hopping onto it asap if you're interested. Something I couldn't see online is that they have a $1,000 fully refundable deposit, so you can essentially get your name on the list, then get the finances sorted afterwards. Deposit is refundable up until you sign the PO contract when the car is on its way here.
We didn't want you to miss out entirely. That's why we're offering exclusive fleet pricing - available only to eligible Novated Lease buyers purchasing through an approved Fleet Management Organisation (FMO).
For a limited time, you can enjoy a 4% discount across select new BYD models delivered between 1 May and 30 June. It's our way of keeping your journey toward innovation, efficiency, and electric excellence right on track.

I did back to back test drives of the Sea Lion 7 and the Xpeng G6 a couple of weeks ago and found the G6 to be miles ahead. A lot of that will be personal preference, but the tech is unquestionably better in the G6 and given the 2 are the exact same price I came away wondering why anyone would buy the SL7.
They also don't sting you $1500 for anything other than white like BYD do.
