Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine
- Looks sporty for a long-wheelbase, comfort-oriented sedan.
- New i-Drive 8 infotainment system is crisp and easy to use.
- 2-litre diesel engine offers good poke for both sedate and spirited driving.
- Has a good balance between ride and handling.
BYD Sealion 7
- SUV coupe styling is executed well, looks much more expensive than it actually is.
- 82.56kWh battery capacity ensures a real world range of 500km.
- Impeccable interior quality for the price. Soft touch material used generously on the dashboard and door pads.
- Features: 15.6” touchscreen, 10.25” driver’s display, panoramic glass roof, Level 2 ADAS — it has it all.

BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine
- Missing essentials such as ADAS, 360-degree camera, sun blinds and ventilated front seats.
- The displays in the cabin get warm over prolonged usage.
- Low stance results in difficult ingress and egress for elderly occupants.
- Small boot due to the space-saver eating up space.
BYD Sealion 7
- Ride quality feels firm. Does not feel very comfortable over broken roads.
- Lacks the brand value/prestige many expect from a vehicle costing as much.
