Cons
What to watch before you buy

Its coupe-SUV shape looks more distinctive than a boxier family EV, but buyers who care most about rear-headroom efficiency may prefer a more upright alternative.

BYD Sealion 7 vs Kia EV6
The Sealion 7 Premium makes the cleaner family-SUV argument with a bigger quoted range claim and upright usability, while the EV6 GT-Line AWD still answers with stronger charge hardware, more performance, and a more dedicated-EV feel.
Verdict: Choose the Sealion 7 if SUV packaging and longer quoted range matter more; choose the EV6 if faster charging and a more driver-oriented EV package matter more.
