Compare the BYD Seal U vs Volvo XC60
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Volvo XC60 has a bigger boot than the BYD Seal U, has more room with the back seats folded, and can tow more. Both cars easily accommodate bulky or chunky child seats in the back, and both feature light steering around town. For rear passenger space, if you are over six feet tall in the Seal U you might start to feel your head brushing the headlining, while in the XC60 there is more than enough space for tall people to fit without brushing the ceiling. When it comes to cabin materials, the Seal U does not have many squishy plastics, whereas everything you touch in the XC60 feels soft and very well made.
