Compare the BYD Seal U vs Toyota C-HR+
AI generated from our expert reviews
The BYD Seal U is longer than the Toyota C-HR+. In both cars, you will find good forward visibility paired with poor over-the-shoulder visibility. Around town, the C-HR+ excels with comfortable suspension that irons out potholes and speed bumps, whereas hitting either in the Seal U sends a shudder through the cabin. Taking corners exposes another difference, as the Toyota benefits from a lack of body lean, whereas the BYD leans a lot, which is really unnerving. Boot practicality also sets them apart once the rear seats are down. The C-HR+ leaves no lip to overcome, which is handy when loading long, heavy items, but the Seal U has a big lip that makes it difficult to push long, heavy items through.
