However, the 180 liters trunk capacity is too small for a family holiday trip unless you fold down the last row seats completely. The light colored leatherette upholstery gets dirty very quickly and requires frequent deep dry cleaning service.

But the high cabin floor due to battery placement creates a knees up sitting posture in middle and last row, causing thigh discomfort during journeys longer than two hours. The audio system sound output lacks depth.

But the infotainment system software takes considerable time to boot up when starting the car, and wireless phone connectivity fails occasionally. The factory fitted tires lack optimal grip on wet monsoon tarmac roads, causing minor traction slip.

My main irritation is that there are no physical buttons for regular air conditioning climate controls or fan speed adjustments, you have to click through multiple screen menus which is distracting. The steering wheel audio control buttons feel fragile.

The real world driving range drops fast if you maintain speeds above hundred kmph on highway, requiring more frequent charging halts than expected.

The wireless charging pad charges very slowly and makes my premium smartphone quite warm. The boot space is non existent when all seven seats are occupied.

The automatic climate control system maintains chosen temperatures accurately. The brake pedal feel is a bit spongy initially due to regenerative motor integration crossover. The tyre pressure display warning is clear.

However, the low unladen ground clearance of 170mm is a regular problem on high speed breakers because the car bottom easily touches when carrying six people. The dealership service support network is limited across small towns, making maintenance accessibility a concern.

The real range of 450km allows smooth intercity travel planning. The second row passenger center console lacks independent USB type C fast charging ports.

But the air conditioning system struggles to cool the rear rows efficiently during peak Indian summer days, requiring the fan to run at full speed constantly which creates fan noise. The missing rear window sunblinds worsen this heating issue inside.

The acoustic pedestrian alert sound below 30 kmph is loud and sounds annoying in peaceful residential colonies. The digital instrument cluster lacks detailed navigation maps view.

The driver seat ventilation function works effectively. The infotainment system home page configuration options are quite limited and complex for standard users.

The suspension feels quite firm over regular city road potholes, transferring shocks directly into cabin. The infotainment system interface layout is confusing to operate while driving.

The car braking is predictable due to regenerative settings. The third row headroom is tight for people above six feet height. The center armrest storage space is average size.

The 360 view monitor is highly clear even during night hours. The absence of integrated sunblinds for rear passenger windows is a noticeable omission by BYD team.

The side air bags provide added security feel. The cabin cooling takes slightly longer to reach third row on peak afternoon days if the sunshade is kept open. The vehicle door pocket layout is good.

The digital driver display provides neat layouts for battery analytics. The automatic emergency braking system is slightly aggressive for Indian chaotic traffic conditions, needs getting used to.

The vehicle stability control keeps the MUV body well balanced during high speed directional changes. The glass roof creates airy cabin feeling. The plastic trim quality around power window switches looks very basic and prone to scratches.

The interior ambient lighting looks subtle at night hours. The steering wheel mounted buttons feel slightly clicky and cheap to touch. The vehicle turning circle is wide.

The automatic headlamps have accurate light sensors. My main concern is the low ground clearance of 170mm which requires extra caution over high speed breakers on rural state highways. The boot lid closing requires hard pull.

However, the user interface menu design is complex to understand initially, took me days to find specific settings. Showroom reach is limited in my tier two city, so service requires long distance travel.

The vehicle handles curves with minimal body roll for its size. The electronic parking brake button placement is very ergonomic. Wish the audio system speakers had punchier bass output for music lovers.

The real world range handles one full week of city run easily on single charge. The floor height is slightly high due to battery pack which means elder people have to step up carefully during ingress. Puncture repair kit usage is complicated.

But the stock tyres do not offer great grip under hard acceleration and slip slightly on wet roads. BYD should provide better brand tyres out of factory. The glovebox cooling feature is missing.

My complaint is that the panoramic glass roof is fixed and does not open up for fresh air ventilation. The rear wiper blade quality is average and leaves streaks on glass during heavy rain.
