You will find that the BYD Sealion 5 is longer than the Nissan Qashqai. When you encounter potholes and speedbumps, the Sealion 5 is uncomfortable, whereas the Qashqai deals with them very well. On twistier roads, the Sealion 5 does not lean a lot in the bends and the Qashqai does not lean too much, but neither car gives you much feedback through the steering.
