Cons

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.
Hyundai IONIQ 5
- Sharp design: demands attention, turns heads!
- Spacious interior has ample space for six-footers.
- 631km of certified-range. Expect around 500km in the real world.
- Loaded with tech: dual displays, zero-gravity seats, ADAS and V2L functions.

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.
Hyundai IONIQ 5
- Rear seat lacks underthigh support and footroom.
- Shallow boot means large objects have to be stacked horizontally.
