Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

BMW iX1
- Great rear seat legroom, easily the best in class
- Exceptional interior material quality and finish
- Real-world range of around 400 km is more than enough
- Comfortable and plush ride quality
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 iX1
- Less features for the price, doesn’t get ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, and adaptive cruise control
- Lack of physical buttons for AC and regenerative braking
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.
