BYD’s latest release, the Seagull is the company’s highly-anticipated electric vehicle this year. This sleek and stylish vehicle has been making waves and catching eyes recently, with its vibrant yellow paint job and bold design. Recently, images of the car were captured out in the open.
The Seagull boasts a rugged look, with sharp lines and corners that set it apart from its sibling, the Dolphin. The front is characterized by a closed, trapezoidal air intake and two piercing headlights that render a unique design to the vehicle. The car is quite compact, with dimensions of 3780mm x 1715mm x 1540mm and a wheelbase of 2500mm. The four-wheel design promises ample interior space. Charging is made convenient with a front-fender charging port. The back of the car is quite modern and stylish, complete with a layered design and through-type taillights. The seagull emblem on the tailgate solidifies its identity.
The inside of the Seagull is a sight to behold, with a minimalist center console that features a floating full LCD screen, BYD’s adaptive pad, and a control interface that integrates AutoNavi navigation, among other features. Physical buttons are located below, and while the picture is unclear, it is expected to follow in the same design as the Dolphin. Under the hood, the Seagull packs a punch with a TZ180XSH permanent magnet synchronous drive motor with a max power of 55 kilowatts. The battery is made from BYD’s trusted lithium iron phosphate material. The cruising range is yet to be disclosed, but it is expected to be between 300-400 kilometers.
Upon release, the Seagull will be competing with EVs such as Wuling Bingo. The price factor, however, will be a huge deciding factor. Given BYD’s Qin PLUS DM-i’s price tag of under 100,000 yuan (~$14,367), the Seagull’s expected starting price of 60,000 yuan (~$8,780) is sure to cause a stir. With projections of selling over 10,000 units a month, this car should be a steal for those who are looking for a compact electric vehicle.
