On October 20, BYD Ocean Network's "national compact car" Seagull ushers in its first generational change—the second-generation Seagull is officially launched. The new car comes in 5 versions, with a super trade-in price of 62,900 yuan to 96,900 yuan. Starting today, users who purchase the car can enjoy multiple launch benefits. Since its launch in 2023, cumulative sales of the Seagull have exceeded 1.55 million units, setting a record for the fastest global pure electric model to surpass one million units in cumulative sales. With this generational change, the new car achieves comprehensive leaps across six dimensions—appearance, space, comfort, intelligence, charging, and safety—responding to users' "greater" expectations for high-quality mobility!
The more it grows, the more stylish it becomes: Ocean aesthetics renewed, individuality and recognizability maxed out
The second-generation Seagull adopts an all-new Ocean Aesthetics design, with a comprehensive upgrade in sportiness. The low-slung sporty front face, paired with all-new trident sharp LED headlights, offers extremely high recognizability when lit. The side shoulder line runs from the front wheel arch through to the D-pillar, and the waistline, together with 16-inch wheels, delivers a strong dynamic feel. Exclusive Seagull icons are embellished in multiple places throughout the vehicle, maximizing the sense of occasion.
Stepping inside, the cabin is horizontally stretched, open and airy, premium and easy on the eyes. The center console lines are sleek and flow seamlessly into the main instrument panel, creating double-layer storage space; the door panels incorporate wave lines, simple yet stylish. The interior uses water-transfer printing technology, presenting a warm wood-veneer texture from afar and revealing subtle gold flecks up close, rich in layering.
The new car offers six inspired exterior colors: Lime Green, Berry Pink, Cream White, Sesame Gray, Ice Coconut Blue, and Mango Orange; and three interior colors: Shell White, Sky Pink, and Polaris Gray—diverse and personalized.
The more it grows, the more it holds: from "four-seat runabout" to "proper five-seater"
The second-generation Seagull fully reconstructs the vehicle's space, with length, width, and height jumping to 4205mm×1810mm×1570mm and a wheelbase of 2650mm, all in the top tier of its class. Rear-row legroom, headroom, and hip room are comprehensively optimized, so even three adults can sit without squeezing, truly enabling five people to ride in comfort.
The new car's loading capability is equally outstanding: the 94L electric front trunk easily accommodates a 20-inch suitcase; the extra-large rear trunk in standard condition can hold 2×24-inch + 2×20-inch suitcases—5 people, 5 suitcases, easily stored. With the second row folded down, it expands to a maximum of 1380L, forming a large flat floor with a depth of over 1.5 meters. In addition, the vehicle has 30+ storage spaces throughout, including a class-exclusive 1.62L hidden automotive-grade tissue box, second-row storage boxes totaling 24L, and thoughtful hidden hooks—large items fit, small items are stored cleverly.
The more it grows, the more comfortable it becomes: seats and features comprehensively upgraded
The second-generation Seagull's comfort experience is comprehensively upgraded. The driver's seat has 6-way and the passenger seat 4-way power adjustment, with front-row cushion width reaching 504mm, class-leading; both driver and passenger seats are equipped with three-level heating and ventilation, and the driver's seat additionally offers multi-mode massage to relieve long-trip fatigue.
Convenience features throughout the vehicle are equally well covered. Automatic air conditioning is standard across the lineup, along with 50W wireless phone charging; multi-color ambient lighting paired with 8-speaker audio delivers a high-quality sensory experience. In addition, the cabin reserves smart ecosystem expansion points: the driver's side can accept a magnetic charging mount or action camera, and the seamless magnetic interface supports smart buttons for convenient, customizable pairing.
The more it grows, the smarter it becomes: God's Eye B - Assisted Driving LiDAR Edition moves upscale
The second-generation Seagull reconstructs the small-car intelligent experience across three dimensions: intelligence, automation, and electrification. The new car is equipped with God's Eye B - Assisted Driving LiDAR Edition (DiPilot 300), supporting functions such as urban navigation assist and highway/fast-road navigation assist, and promises backup coverage for both intelligent parking and urban navigation. Full-scenario parking assist covers various complex parking spaces; when encountering a difficult space, users can simply get out, and the vehicle completes parking autonomously.
The cabin experience is upgraded in tandem, featuring the high-end Smart Cockpit - DiLink 150 with a 15.6-inch central control screen. The smart instrument cluster normally displays core driving information such as speed, battery level, and turn signals; after shifting into D, key information automatically moves to the left 3-split area on screen and supports switching between 7-split and full-screen views. Even if the PAD system occasionally has communication delays, to ensure driving safety the PAD automatically switches to simple mode, and relevant driving information is always displayed normally; meanwhile, deep phone-vehicle integration, AI intelligent assistant, and versatile themes and other interactive functions are all on board, bringing a rich and convenient smart cabin experience.
In addition, the new car is standard across the lineup with smart entry, seamless unlock, and smart power on/off: approaching the driver's side with a phone automatically unlocks, and pressing the brake lets you shift and go; the class-exclusive front trunk tap-to-unlock function opens with two light taps; the power tailgate supports button, remote, and in-car switch operation—from unlock to departure, every step is seamless and smooth.
The more it grows, the freer it becomes: flash charging broadens travel radius
The second-generation Seagull is equipped with BYD's exclusive flash charging technology and is currently the smallest model to feature it. 5 minutes to a good charge, 9 minutes to full, and only 3 minutes more at minus 30 degrees. Flash-charging versions also come with 12 months of free flash-charging benefits. As of now, BYD has built 12,165 flash-charging stations nationwide and will build 20,000 by year-end.
In terms of range, the new car offers two CLTC range versions: 320km and 420km. Relying on an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.28 and systematic breakthroughs in vehicle lightweighting, driving energy consumption is as low as 9.0kWh/100km—the same kilowatt-hour goes farther.
Driving dynamics are also upgraded: maximum motor power rises to 95kW, peak torque 130N·m, and top speed 150km/h; the chassis adopts "rear-mounted rear-wheel drive + rear multi-link independent suspension"; despite the larger body dimensions, the minimum turning radius remains 4.95 meters, preserving the inherent agility of a small car.
The more it grows, the safer it becomes: full protection while parked, driving, and in emergencies
The second-generation Seagull is standard across the lineup with Sentry Mode, working with the Thousand-Mile Eye function for all-weather vigilance; the tire burst stability system achieves stability control within the 60km/h–140km/h speed range; AEB automatic emergency braking intervenes automatically in sudden situations to avoid collision risks. A high-strength body structure, paired with up to 6 airbags, means that in a collision the body structure takes the impact first, minimizing injury.
Summary:
As the first generational model of BYD Ocean Network, the second-generation Seagull, backed by the reputation of 1.55 million users, completes a comprehensive upgrade across six dimensions, with over 80 standard features across the lineup and multiple class-exclusive configurations, bringing cutting-edge technology and segment-leading experience to everyday mobility for the masses. At present, the new car has been arriving at stores one after another; interested users can visit stores to experience the second-generation Seagull's segment-leading strength firsthand.
