Compare the BYD Sealion 5 vs OMODA 5
AI generated from our expert reviews
The longer BYD Sealion 5 offers a bigger boot than the OMODA 5, along with tons of rear legroom that gives enough space for a six-foot adult to stretch out behind a similar-sized driver. By contrast, the OMODA 5 has limited legroom when sat behind a six-foot driver. On the motorway, both cars keep wind and road noise well contained once you are up to speed. Through corners, the Sealion 5’s firm suspension means it does not lean a lot in the bends, whereas the OMODA 5 has a body that moves around a lot in the bends. You will also find that both cars have steering that gives you no real feedback about what the front wheels are doing.
