Choosing between these two electric SUVs comes down to practical details and long-distance manners. Both cars suffer from limited rear visibility due to tiny rear windows, but both treat passengers to reclining back seats. On the move, the Xpeng G6 is a more refined motorway cruiser, with its shape leaving just a hint of wind noise, whereas the BYD Sealion 7 suffers from lots of wind noise around the front pillars at higher speeds. When it comes to everyday practicality, the G6 is more efficient and gives you a bigger boot, but it lacks a front boot entirely, which the Sealion 7 includes for tucking extra items away.
