Who leads on what

On each score axis, the model at least 5 points ahead of the next one. Below that we write “tight”.

You are comparing different categories: electric (BYD Tang) and combustion (Forthing 5). The Range and Charging axes do not apply to every model, so we compare on Value, Performance, Safety, and Practicality. Overall scores are not directly comparable across categories.
