Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Audi Q3 Sportback
- Sportier styling than the Q3 thanks to coupe-SUV styling
- Big boot space which can be increased with flat-folding rear seats
- Comfortable ride quality
- Engaging and fun to drive 2-litre TSI and 7-speed DSG combination
- Compact dimensions make it easier to drive around the city
- Practical enough for a family of four people
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.

Audi Q3 Sportback
- Could have looked even better with brighter colour options and flashier wheels
- Features like ventilated front seats with memory function and 360-degree camera still missing
- No diesel engine on offer like its rivals
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.
