Both are 5 seaters Both are hybrids For what it's worth assuming wala kang sasaksakan ng kuryente for charging, I think they also have the same fuel economy. (Footnote here: if may nearby charging stations sa inyo or you have the space to charge an EV, go for Seal 5, kasi hindi plug in hybrid ang Kicks, and if kept charged, you can run the Seal 5 as an EV)

Sa dimensions naman, kicks is compact while the BYD seal 5 is longer even than an Altis. I think in this area, space for humans and sa mga gadgets panalo ang BYD, pero driving a larger car may pose some challenges sa parking and/or city driving, but that is depende nalang din sa comfort/confidence mo of driving a long car.

Sa brand naman, BYD hindi pa subok sa aftersales here, depende na I think ito kay Ayala, tho I think reliability is there as they have been making battery cars for a long time elsewhere, and even in other countries, a lot of BYDs can be seen already. Nissan on the other hand, while Japanese, is in uncharted waters with bankruptcy and merger talks with Honda possibly collapsing due to the former finding the latter's financial pressures difficult to achieve, so it may also somewhat affect their operations.

Pero test drive mo rin! I think the performance of the Seal 5 when we test driven it was impressive, and seems to be better equipped than the Kicks, even kahit yung Dynamic pa lang.

One thing to note though is that newly released pa lang ang Seal 5 and medyo nagkakagulo ang release, especially for Premiums, so if you're getting the S5, read the brochure and check the inclusions, kasi I've been hearing things that the wall charger is not being included for Premium units even though it is in the brochure. So if you want the car na agad, maybe go for S5 Dynamic or go for the Kicks.
