Compare the BYD Sealion 5 vs Skoda Elroq
AI generated from our expert reviews
The BYD Sealion 5 is longer than the Skoda Elroq, but folding the back seats reveals more room in the Elroq. Inside, storage cubbies up front are plentiful in the Elroq, while storage up front in the Sealion 5 is only modest. In the back, both cars provide space for six-foot adults to stretch out, though in the Elroq you cannot put your feet under the seat in front. On winding roads, both models keep body roll in check, with the Sealion 5 not leaning a lot in the bends and the Elroq having remarkably little body lean. When it comes to handling, neither car delivers feedback through the steering, leaving the Sealion 5 feeling lifeless with no real feedback to the driver, and the Elroq's very light steering devoid of feedback.
