Volvo EX40 or BYD Sealion 7?
The question
I'm looking at the Volvo EX40 twin motor top spec at the moment. How would the Sealion 7 compare in terms of build and ride quality, refinement etc?

Hi June,
The first thing to note would be the size difference between these two cars. The BYD is larger overall and that’s felt inside too.
In terms of build quality, the Volvo feels more solid inside and out, though its cabin layout is more dated than the BYD's and has a smaller display. It’s also worth looking at the equipment levels of both cars, as the BYD comes with a lot of standard spec.
With regard to ride quality the Volvo is the more polished of the two, with a nicely sorted suspension setup and better one-pedal driving feel. The BYD has more performance, and has higher peak DC-charging speeds.
