In addition to being the cheapest model in BYD’s electric car lineup, the Seagull boasts features like a modern construction and a dedicated platform, uncommon technologies, and a good equipment package for the entry-level segment.

Being the newest addition to BYD’s Ocean series, which also includes the compact Dolphin hatchback and the mid-size Seal sedan, the Seagull is priced at only 78,800 yuan in China, equivalent to R$ 58 million, which likely explains the high number of orders in such a short time frame.

The 5-door, four-seater hatchback features a modern design and comes with sharp headlights available with LEDs, a rear LED light bar that resembles the BYD D1 minivan, a sporty roof spoiler, a large windshield with just one wiper, and a floating roof design.

Inside, the BYD Seagull electric car comes equipped with a 5-inch instrument panel and a 12.8” information and entertainment screen, a sporty steering wheel with a flat bottom, a wireless charging pad, and two cup holders.

Being a promising bet from BYD, the electric car has everything it needs to become the best-selling electric car in its market segment, if not overall. According to analysts, speaking to Reuters, it could become the best-selling electric vehicle in the country within six months after its launch. This could make the small BYD the best-selling electric car in the world, given the size of China’s electric vehicle market.

Chinese Company Plans To Bring A New Factory To Brazil

After the launch of the BYD Seagull electric car and the start of deliveries in China, more information will emerge about the global strategy for urban electric vehicles.

In Brazil, the model is being considered as a future launch from the brand, although there is still no official confirmation. Moreover, the expectation is that it will be the first BYD model to be produced at the factory that the company is negotiating in Bahia.

In January, a meeting took place between Darci Piana, Vice Governor of Paraná, and Tyler Li, president of the multinational BYD, along with other authorities, to discuss the establishment of a future production unit aimed at the Chinese multinational’s electric vehicles in the state. The event was held at the Iguaçu Palace, located in Curitiba. The group plans to install a new electric car factory in the country.
