ZEEKR 7X
VS
XPeng G9 arrives as a tech‑forward grand tourer — slick, serene and stuffed with autonomous driving toys and a luxurious, quietly sophisticated cabin; the ZEEKR 7X, by contrast, plays the sportier, more pragmatic card, delivering sharper handling, a brasher road presence and strong value for buyers who want engagement as well as space. Pick the G9 if you want plush, futuristic comfort and top‑end gadgetry; choose the 7X if you prefer a slightly firmer, more driver‑focused electric that gives more car for your cash — and a grin behind the wheel.

BYD Sealion 7
VS
Tonight’s heavyweight bout pits the XPeng G9 — a tech-packed, airy electric SUV that feels like a living room with autopilot — against the BYD Sealion 7, a sleeker, sportier challenger that swaps a bit of practicality for sharper handling and seriously tempting value. If you want long-distance comfort, luxury kit and peace-of-mind assistance systems, pick the G9; if you want a more engaging drive and more car for your money, the Sealion 7 is the cheeky, clever alternative.
