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.
Mahindra XEV 9e
- Two battery pack options with an estimated real-world range of 400-500km and 175kW DC fast charging compatibility feels reassuring on long road trips
- The strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS. Works well in Indian conditions and very useful in low visibility situations
- Performance: Smooth for regular usage and punchy on highways
- Feature-rich: Triple 12.3-inch displays, 16-speaker Harman/Kardon audio, auto park, and powered and ventilated front seats

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.
Mahindra XEV 9e
- Rear seat experience could be better: Sloping roofline limits headroom and under thigh support feels less for tall people
