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: combustion (Omoda 5 SHS-H) and plug-in hybrid (BYD Seal 5 DM-i). The Range axis does not apply to every model, so we compare on Value, Performance, Safety, and Practicality. Overall scores are not directly comparable across categories.

Different segments (SUV, Sedan): differences in size and price are expected.

Incomplete comparison. BYD Seal 5 DM-i has no: power, Euro NCAP rating, boot space, and wheelbase. Its strengths may be understated; missing data is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage.
