On October 20, BYD’s second-generation Seagull was officially launched. A total of 5 versions of the new car have been launched, with super replacement prices ranging from 62,900 yuan to 96,900 yuan. From now on, users can enjoy multiple listing benefits when purchasing a car. Since its launch in 2023, Seagull’s cumulative sales have exceeded 1.55 million units. With this upgrade, the new car has made a comprehensive improvement in six dimensions: appearance, space, comfort, intelligence, energy supplement, and safety, responding to users' greater expectations for high-quality travel.
Renewed marine aesthetics and enhanced personality recognition
The second-generation Seagull adopts a new marine aesthetic design, and its sporty feel is fully upgraded. The low-lying and sporty front face is matched with the new Trident sharp LED headlights, which are highly recognizable when lit up. The side shoulder line runs from the front wheel eyebrow to the D-pillar, and the waistline matches the 16-inch wheels, which is full of dynamics. The entire car is embellished with exclusive seagull icons in many places, highlighting the sense of ceremony.
Entering the car, the cockpit stretches laterally and is transparent and open. The center console has smart lines and seamlessly connects with the main instrument panel, expanding a double-layer storage space; the door panels incorporate wave lines, which are simple yet stylish. The interior adopts water transfer printing technology, which shows a warm and moist wood veneer texture when viewed from a distance, while fine gold glitter and rich layers can be seen when viewed up close.
The new car offers six inspired exterior colors: lime green, raspberry pink, cream white, sesame gray, ice coconut blue, and mango orange; and three interior colors: shell white, clear sky pink, and polar star gray, which are diverse and individual.
From "four-seater transportation" to "serious five-seater"
The second-generation Seagull has completely reconstructed the vehicle space, with the length, width and height jumping to 4205mm×1810mm×1570mm, and the wheelbase of 2650mm, both ranking first in its class. The rear leg, head, and buttock space are fully optimized, and three adults can sit there without being squeezed, making it truly possible for five people to ride comfortably in the car.
The loading capacity of the new car is also outstanding. The 94L front trunk can easily accommodate a 20-inch suitcase; the standard extra-large trunk can accommodate 2 24-inch + 2 20-inch suitcases, 5 people and 5 boxes, making it easy to store. The maximum expansion of the second row row is 1380L, forming a large flat floor with a depth of over 1.5 meters. In addition, the whole car has 30+ storage spaces, including a 1.62L hidden car-grade tissue box, a total of 24L storage boxes in the second row, and thoughtful hidden hooks, which can accommodate large items and place small items strategically.
Fully upgraded seats and configurations
The second-generation Seagull Comfort experience has been fully upgraded. The driver's 6-way and passenger's 4-way seats are electrically adjustable, and the front seat cushion width reaches 504mm. Both the driver's and passenger's seats are equipped with three-level heating and ventilation. The driver's seat also provides a multi-mode massage function to relieve long-distance fatigue.
The entire car’s convenient configuration is also in place. The entire series comes standard with automatic air conditioning and 50W mobile phone wireless charging; multi-color ambient lights and 8-speaker audio bring high-quality sensory enjoyment. In addition, the cockpit also reserves points for intelligent ecological expansion. The main driver can connect a magnetic charging stand and a sports camera. The traceless magnetic interface supports smart buttons, making it more convenient to match as you wish.
God's Eye B-Assisted Driving Laser Version Gets on the Car
The second-generation Seagull reconstructs the intelligent experience of small cars from three dimensions: intelligence, automation, and electrification. The new car is equipped with the Eye of God B-assisted driving laser version (DiPilot300), which supports functions such as city pilot assistance and high-speed pilot assistance, and promises to provide both smart parking and city navigation. Full-scenario parking assistance covers all types of complex parking spaces. When encountering a difficult parking space, users can get out of the car directly and the vehicle can park autonomously.
The cockpit experience has been upgraded simultaneously, equipped with a high-end version of the smart cockpit - DiLink150, equipped with a 15.6-inch central control screen. The smart instrument normally displays core driving information such as speed, power, and turn signals. After shifting into D gear, key information automatically displays on the screen in the 3-split screen area on the left, and supports switching between 7-split screen and full screen. Even if there is an occasional communication delay in the PAD system, in order to ensure driving safety, the PAD will automatically switch to the simple mode and relevant driving information will always be displayed normally. At the same time, interactive functions such as deep integration of hand-car interconnection, AI smart assistants, and ever-changing themes are all on board, bringing a rich and convenient smart cockpit experience.
In addition, all new cars come standard with smart entry, touchless unlocking, and smart power-on and off functions. Bring your mobile phone close to the driver to automatically unlock it, and step on the brake to put it into gear. It has a knock-to-unlock function for the front trunk, which can pop open with two taps. The electric rear door supports multiple opening and closing methods including buttons, remote control, and in-car switches. From unlocking to driving away, every step is smooth and smooth.
Flash charging support expands travel radius
The second-generation Seagull is equipped with BYD’s unique flash charging technology. It takes 5 minutes to charge, 9 minutes to fully charge, and it only takes 3 more minutes at minus 30 degrees. The flash recharge model also comes with 12 months of free flash recharge rights. So far, BYD has built 12,165 flash charging stations across the country, and 20,000 will be built by the end of the year.
In terms of battery life, the new car offers two CLTC battery life versions of 320km and 420km. Relying on the systematic breakthrough of 0.28 ultra-low drag coefficient and vehicle lightweight engineering, the driving energy consumption is as low as 9.0kWh/100km. The same kilowatt hour of electricity can run farther.
The driving performance has also been upgraded. The maximum power of the motor has been increased to 95kW, the peak torque is 130N·m, and the top speed is 150km/h; the chassis adopts "rear rear drive + rear multi-link independent suspension"; the body size has become larger, and the minimum turning radius remains 4.95 meters, retaining the inherent flexibility of a small car.
Full protection during parking, driving and danger situations
All second-generation Seagull series are equipped with sentry mode as standard, which is on duty all-weather with the clairvoyance function; the anti-flat tire stabilization system realizes tire puncture stability control within the vehicle speed range of 60km/h-140km/h; AEB automatic emergency braking automatically intervenes in unexpected situations to avoid the risk of collision. The high-strength body structure is equipped with up to 6 airbags. At the moment of collision, the body structure gives priority to resisting the impact and minimizing injuries.
As the first replacement model of BYD Ocean Network, the second-generation Seagull has accumulated a reputation of 1.55 million users and has completed all-round upgrades in six dimensions. It has more than 80 standard features for the entire series and many unique configurations for its class, bringing cutting-edge technology and leapfrogging experience to the public's daily travel.
