BYD SEALION 7 VS XPENG G6 2025 REVIEW: WHICH NEW CHINESE ELECTRIC CAR IS THE BEST FAMILY SUV?

EV Channels Review

In this head-to-head comparison, the BYD Sealion 7 and XPeng G6 emerge as strong contenders in the electric mid-size SUV segment, both aiming to rival the Tesla Model Y with competitive pricing and features. The Sealion 7, particularly in its Premium trim, impresses with a more conventional interior layout featuring physical buttons, a versatile rotating central screen, a head-up display, and genuine leather upholstery. Its spacious cabin, especially in the rear, and a claimed WLTP range of 482km are significant advantages. However, its suspension can feel stiff, and its charging rate is slower than the G6's. The XPeng G6, while boasting a sleeker, minimalist design and a faster charging capability (215 kW), suffers from a laggy infotainment system on the tested unit and a lack of a rear sunshade for its panoramic roof. Despite these drawbacks, the G6 offers a slightly larger boot and a more comfortable, softer ride. Ultimately, the reviewer favors the BYD Sealion 7 for its superior day-to-day livability, aesthetic appeal, and greater driving range, though acknowledges the G6 as a commendable debut from XPeng.
