I think the main difference is the on board passenger safety features, the sealion has the camera for the back seat, and also sends a text to the owner if there appears to be a child in the back that's been left. That looks like the biggest difference, so overall, par for the course between them.

tang L sounds amazing but i do not believe the drone thing will get it past ADR's here haha.

I'm not a big fan of boxy looking SUV's but i don't know if it's possible but, , , something like the Tang L in terms of specifications for battery and power and etc BUT, something that looks like a Porsche Taycan cross turismo/ xpeng g6.

oh and on the warranties that byd and etc announced i think Xpeng are going to have to make their 10 year warranty deal standard to stand out.

The MG4 Excite 51 currently has 125kW with the Excite 64 and Essense 64 has 150kW. I would have thought the MG S5 would have followed that same idea - lower power with the smaller battery.
I would also like to see both batteries as LFP, unlike the MG4 where only the small 51kWh is LFP

125kW in the MGS5 is a joke lol.
Why would they do that
