AI generated from our expert reviews
The BYD Sealion 5 is longer and more powerful than the Toyota Yaris Cross, and it has a bigger boot, with more room when the back seats are folded, too. There is a lot of space in the Sealion 5's back seats, whereas the Yaris Cross is a bit cramped in the back. In the bends, neither car leans too much. On twisting back roads, the Yaris Cross's steering has a nice feel, whereas the steering in the Sealion 5 feels quite vague.
