Pros & Cons

Pros
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.
Kia Carnival
- Most spacious car you can buy for under a crore
- Rear seat comfort and space is much better than luxury cars costing double the Carnival’s price
- Ample boot space behind the third row
- The front 4 seats are powered, heated and ventilated
- Impressive road presence despite being an MPV

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.
Kia Carnival
- Rear cabin quality should have been better
- Noise insulation is not good for a chauffeur driven car
