The BYD Seagull is a battery electric subcompact car manufactured by BYD.
Overview[edit]
In April 2023, BYD introduced the next and smallest car not only in the Ocean model line, but also in the entire range of electric vehicles. The Seagull model took the form of a small 5-door hatchback with an avant-garde design combining numerous sharp lines, irregular embossing, aggressively shaped headlights and a sloping roofline with rear lamps connected by a light bar. The vehicle is positioned below the BYD Dolphin in terms of size.[1]
In line with other BYD Ocean models, the passenger compartment has a two-tone design, with a flowing dashboard and a large, centrally located 12.8-inch touch-screen infotainment system. The digital gauges have gained an area of 5 inches, and the passenger compartment allows the transport of up to 4 passengers in total.[2]
Following its world premiere at Auto Shanghai in the second half of April 2023, BYD has planned to begin sales of the Seagull immediately after its debut, starting in Mainland China.[2]
Specifications[edit]
The Seagull is a fully electric car powered by two drive units to choose from. The base model is made up of a 55 kW (74 hp) motor available with a 30 kWh battery, enabling a range of 305 km (190 mi) (NEDC) and a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph).[2] The top variant develops 75 kW (101 hp) and offers a range of approx. 405 km (252 mi) (NEDC) thanks to a battery with a capacity of 38 kWh. An innovative solution is the use of a lithium-free and cobalt-free sodium-ion battery, which BYD announced to use in the Seagull as one of the first three cars in its range.[2]
