The BYD Sealion 7 plays the value card with clever packaging, generous range claims and soft-riding manners, while the ZEEKR 7X feels like the sharper, tech-forward alternative that’s happier chasing pace and premium detailing. If you want an everyday EV that stretches your money on range and space, go BYD; if you crave a more dynamic drive and boutique cabin — and don’t mind paying a little extra for the badge — book a ZEEKR test drive.
