The amount you borrow sets your repayments, and on a Sealion 7 it depends mostly on the variant and your deposit. These are the loan amounts before on-road costs, which some lenders let you include in the loan.

|---|---|---|---|
| Entry price ($54,990) | $55,000 | $49,500 | $44,000 |

With a new Sealion 7 listed from $54,990 to $63,990, how you pay for it matters. Battery electric cars provided to an employee, including through a novated lease, can be exempt from fringe benefits tax if luxury car tax has never been payable on the car. That can make a novated lease through your employer cheaper than a car loan for an electric car like the Sealion 7, because repayments come from your pre-tax salary. If you are self-employed or your employer does not offer novated leasing, a car loan is the usual route, and some lenders offer discounted rates on electric vehicles.

The Sealion 7 is new enough that there is little used price history yet, so most buyers are financing a new one. Near-new and demonstrator examples are financed like new cars, usually with the same lenders and terms.
Set to the entry price of a new Sealion 7. Adjust the price, deposit, term, rate and balloon to see the repayments for the Sealion 7 you want. Your actual rate depends on your credit profile and the lender.
