Compare the BYD Seal U vs Dacia Bigster
AI generated from our expert reviews
When weighing up these two SUVs, practical space and road manners set them apart. The Dacia Bigster has a bigger boot than the BYD Seal U, and it gives you more room with the back seats folded too, though both models have enough space in the back for six-foot adults to sit. The Seal U is more powerful, and its cabin is pretty hushed on the motorway, whereas you will notice wind noise in the Bigster. Around town, the Bigster has soft suspension that deals pretty well with lumps, bumps and speed humps, while a pothole or small speed bump sends a shudder through the cabin of the Seal U. In both cars, the steering is light, leaving you with little to almost no feedback about what the front wheels are doing.
