Full house for the electric city car BYD Seagull, introduced in April, and already sold over 200,000 units in China!
Few models nowadays have achieved such unanimous acclaim. In just seven months, the BYD Seagull has sold 200,000 units, corresponding to an annual rate of 343,000 units. In reality, it’s even more, as the production ramp-up continues to intensify. In October, 43,300 units left the factory, compared to 18,000 in May. Based on this trend, BYD is aiming for about 500,000 units annually!
Many reasons contribute to this success, starting with its price. Because BYD has delivered impressively, even exceeding its promises. Announced as its electric city car at 10,000 euros, the Seagull is even cheaper: starting from 73,800 Yuan, roughly 9,500 euros. Its price rises up to 89,800 Yuan, about 11,500 euros. Nothing comparable in France or Europe, except for a Citroën Ami…
Technically, the Seagull also meets the daily needs of Chinese city dwellers. The entry-level version offers just 75 hp and a 30 kWh battery, providing nearly 300 km of range. The “high-end” version has a 38 kWh battery, offering about 375 km in urban driving.
To date, its arrival in Europe is not planned, but you never know. Even with transportation costs, French VAT, and customs duties, this BYD Seagull would still be very financially attractive.
