Both the BYD Seal and the Toyota C-HR+ make comfortable progress around town, handling road imperfections and bumps well. However, coming to a halt in urban driving feels different between the two. The C-HR+ has a brake pedal that is very easy to modulate so coming to a steady halt is a breeze, whereas the Seal has brakes that are a bit grabby at lower speeds, making it difficult to come to a smooth stop until you are used to them. Looking at practical factors, the Seal is longer, more powerful and provides a bigger boot, while the C-HR+ is the more efficient car.
