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.
Tesla Model Y
- Space! A 6.5ft tall person can fit behind a 6ft tall driver.
- Range: 400-500km in the real world, depending on the model.
- It’s quick! 5 to 5.9 seconds to 100kmph is serious performance.
- Feature fest: 16-inch touchscreen, 8-inch rear screen, on-board apps etc.

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.
Tesla Model Y
- Everything controlled from the touchscreen might feel overwhelming to some.
- Ride quality is on the firmer side. Surface imperfections are felt inside the cabin.
