BYD Sealion 7 review: Fast SUV lags behind Tesla on price and range

Do we really need an all-electric SUV to go from zero to 62mph in 4.5 seconds? BYD certainly thinks so – enough to announce it on the car’s badge on the boot lid.

According to BYD bosses, performance is more important than range for BYD buyers. I disagree. If you had a slider on the glorious 15.6in touchscreen that let you choose a slower 0-62mph time in exchange for a 350 mile range, I reckon most people would do precisely that.
