The BYD Seal U is longer and more powerful than the BYD Atto 2, and it gives you more room with the back seats folded. When packing the boot, the Atto 2 has no boot lip to contend with and provides handy under-floor storage for charging cables, whereas the Seal U lacks underfloor cable storage and has a big lip that makes it difficult to push long, heavy items through. When manoeuvring, the Atto 2 has large windows that make checking over your shoulder easy, while the view over your shoulder in the Seal U is poor. If you take them onto twisty roads, both cars suffer from plenty of body lean through corners.
