The all-new pure electric car, Seagull, under BYD’s highly anticipated Ocean Network, has been particularly popular since its launch. BYD Seagull has launched three versions, namely the 305km Vital Edition, the 305km Free Edition, and the 405km Flying Edition. The BYD Seagull features a 5-door and 4-seater layout, with four initial body color schemes available: “Sprout Green”, “Extreme Night Black”, “Peach Pink”, and “Warm Sun White”.
Unique appearance: sharp edges and corners
In terms of appearance, BYD Seagull can be said to be suitable for consumers of different age groups, as it adopts a more fashionable design style. Instead of adopting the cute and rounded style commonly seen in cars of the same class, it is filled with sharp body lines. Especially for the headlights, the shape is sharp and unique. From the side of the car, the body proportions of BYD Seagull are coordinated. This is because the pure electric drive system has a simple and flexible structure, which can make the front and rear suspensions very short. At the same time, the details also include decorations such as the front lip, side skirt, and large rear bottom spoiler, effectively lowering the visual height, and ultimately presenting a dynamic and rational small posture.
Small size, but large space
Due to its positioning as a city commuting car, the size of the BYD Seagull is relatively small, with a body length of only 3780mm and a width of 1715mm, with a wheelbase of 2500mm. A small car body can shuttle more freely through the alleys of the city. Models in the same price range cannot achieve the spatial performance of Seagull, and the root cause is to mention Seagull’s e-platform 3.0. This is an advanced pure electric technology platform built by BYD after years of technological accumulation. In addition to its advanced electronic and electrical architecture, the most intuitive advantage it brings is that in the same exterior dimensions, the interior space of the car is much more spacious than that of its peers.
Focus on practicality: simple interior, ample power
In terms of interior design, BYD Seagull also has its own characteristics. The overall style is relatively simple, with clear division of functional areas and a greater emphasis on practicality. The center console features a 10.1-inch rotatable screen that supports navigation, Bluetooth music, and phone connectivity. The buttons below the screen are also quite stylish in design, and the Feixiang version also offers a wireless charging panel for the phone. In addition, the seats are made of high-end simulated leather materials, and the space of the seats is more spacious compared to models in the same class.
Of course, the biggest highlight of BYD Seagull is its power system, which adopts BYD’s latest diamond electric technology and is equipped with 63kWh and 65kWh iron lithium battery packs. Its range can be selected between 305km and 405km. In addition, the seagull is equipped with a 750V high-voltage system and a 7Kw AC charger, which can charge up to 80% of its battery capacity in 50 minutes.
Conclusion
Overall, BYD Seagull has performed very well. It has a fashionable exterior design, spacious and comfortable interior space, and a reliable and efficient power system. The pure electric driving method further improves the practicality and environmental friendliness of the vehicle. Undoubtedly, the BYD Seagull is a very worthwhile entry-level family sedan to acquire.
