Compare the BYD Sealion 7 vs Toyota C-HR+
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you want plenty of muscle and carrying capacity, the BYD Sealion 7 is longer, more powerful and has a larger boot than the Toyota C-HR+. In daily driving, both models lack a one-pedal driving system, and both suffer from poor rear visibility because of their thick rear pillars. Where the Toyota pulls ahead is in its overall efficiency and road manners. While the Sealion 7 jostles you on uneven city streets and speed bumps, the C-HR+ irons out road imperfections with comfortable suspension. The Toyota also stays cosseting on the motorway with minimal wind noise, whereas the BYD suffers from a lot of wind noise rushing around the front pillars at higher speeds.
