Compare the BYD Sealion 5 vs Ford Kuga
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you are weighing up the BYD Sealion 5 against the Ford Kuga, luggage space sets them apart immediately. The Kuga provides a bigger boot, and it also gives you more room with the back seats folded down. Once you are up to speed on the motorway, both cars keep wind and road noise well controlled. Both also manage with little body lean in bends, yet they feel quite different to guide along twistier roads. The Kuga feels agile and has steering that gives you a better idea of what the front wheels are doing, whereas the Sealion 5 comes with lifeless steering that offers no real feedback.
