    Glory is comparable with Honda BR-V considering the size, engine, Honda BR-V is better since it is cheaper , with longer warranty and better durability.
    Changan Oshan is comparable with Toyota rush considering the size and engine, Toyota rush is struggling to make sales, his changan will struggle also, but since it is new, and they are a lot of chineses cars fan maybe it will make some sales.
    Kia Sorento and Toyota Fortuner are both bigger, more space for passenger. got more powerful engine, better warranty and durabbility and got serious off road capacity with their awd system.
    Considering the price Kia Sorento got the upper hand over Toyota Fortuner.
    To resume Toyota fortuner will still make good sales, Kia Sorento is the premium affordable SUV, and Honda BR-V remains the best choice for the people who dosn’t hav a lot of money but need a good family car.

    Being a C-segment sized S.U.V., it is bound to be cramped as compared to Toyota Fortuner. Moreover, didn’t the D.C.T. of Honda Vezel had issues, when a Japanese car can have such problems, what are the odds that a neatly wrapped box on wheels from China is going to be any good.

    580 Pro Dimensions – (L) 4680mm x (W) 1845mm x (H) 1715mm – Wheelbase 2780mm
    BR-V Dimensions – (L) 4453mm x (W) 1753mm x (H) 1666mm – Wheelbase 2662mm

    The Glory 580 Pro is classified as a compact Crossover SUV. The BR-V is classified as a Subcompact Crossover SUV. You can clearly see that the two have no comparison. Yet the Glory is continually compared to the BR-V. 🤷‍♂️

    The Fortuner can be said to be the tallest only and not the biggest. In width, it is the third widest beating out the Glory only. Technically, in length it is second. Sorento is the longest. The difference is only 5mm so it is not that much.

    Sorento – (W) 1890mm
    Oshan X7 – (W) 1870mm
    Fortuner – (W) 1855mm
    Glory – (W) 1845mm

    Width matters. It means a little more elbow room in the sorento and the Oshan.

    @Thanks for the dimension
    Kia Sorento 4m80 long
    Toyota Fortuner 4m79 long
    Shangan Oshan 4m73 long
    Glory 4m68 long
    The smallest is Glory, the biggest is Sorento, given the price, quality, features, warranty , Sorento remains the best deal.
    Since Glory is a seven seat, considering is overall long and heigh i guess the 3rd row seats in glory is only for kids, and when used they will be no boot space remains. Honda BR-V got a high roof, making it more suitable for adults.

    @Waqas.

    Glory is the smallest in this comparison. Agreed.

    However consider the following:
    1. All the local reviews of the glory that I have seen on YouTube, all of them agree to the fact that the 3rd row seats in the glory are usable and not very cramped. Adults can use it very comfortably in short journeys e.g. within city. If need be they are not that bad even on long journeys.

    2. The height of the glory is 1715mm. The height of the Br-V is 1666mm. Thus the Glory is taller.

    3. The BR-V has bench style seats in the back. At least it does in the local model we have in Pakistan. The upper part of the seats folds down. However, the lower part stays in place. That compromises rear load space. You always have half the seats sticking out. However the seats in the Glory fold flat into the floor, making a level load floor in the back. That helps create a much more usable cargo space in the back.

    The rest is up to personal choice or budget…
