New BYD Seagull 2023 in-depth Walkaround

New BYD Seagull 2023 in-depth Walkaround

The Seagull, part of BYD's Ocean series, is a 5-door, 4-seater electric vehicle built on e-platform 3.0. It showcases a rugged, sharp design characterized by wavy lines, a signature feature of Ocean series EVs. Equipped with NFC and Bluetooth key capabilities, as well as a smartphone app, the Seagull offers convenient access and control for users.

In terms of dimensions, the Seagull measures 3780/1715/1540 mm, with a wheelbase of 2500 mm. It has two blade battery capacity options: 30.08 kWh and 38.88 kWh. The larger battery variant provides a CLTC range of up to 405 km, although it is more likely to be around 300 km on the WLTP cycle.

The battery packs to power a single-motor drivetrain, capable of delivering up to 55 kW of power. This power output makes the Seagull agile and suitable for city driving. Comparatively, the Kia Picanto ICE car currently available in Australia, with its 1.2-liter engine producing 62 kW, is expected to have lower power due to drivetrain losses than the Seagull.

Inside the entry-level Seagull EV, a minimalistic design awaits, complemented by several physical buttons, a 7" instrument panel, and an 11.1" rotatable infotainment screen. Safety-wise, the Seagull is equipped with four airbags. Interestingly, although a configuration featuring a 75 kW motor was revealed through MIIT homologation filings, it was not officially announced.

In a testament to its popularity, the BYD Seagull City electric car received over 10,000 orders within a span of just 24 hours.
