Comments on 2023 BYD Seagull Free Edition

What new car can I buy for 70,000-90,000 yuan? In the era of fuel vehicles, we blurted out "Honda, Volkswagen and Toyota to dazzle" three musketeers. In the era of new energy vehicles, BYD directly penetrated the industry threshold at a price of 73,800-89,800 yuan. In the field of small hatchback, BYD Seagull can be regarded as a pure electric flat replacement model of Honda Fit. Although BYD Seagull is positioned as a large-sized micro electric vehicle (close to the size wheelbase of a small car), its interior space performance is close to that of Honda Fit and Volkswagen Polo due to its unique body structure and power layout based on BYD e platform 3.0.

Today, the team leader commented on the 2023 BYD Seagull Free Edition, which is a mid-range model of Seagull. There is no discount at the terminal, and the guide price is 78,800 yuan.

Model: BYD Seagull Free Edition.

Guide price (i.e. bare car price): 78,800 yuan.

The length of the vehicle is 3780mm/ the wheelbase is 2500mm/ the single motor is 75hp /CLTC has a battery life of 305km.

[Satisfied]

The appearance is relatively neutral, and the body structure presents a quite good sense of movement. Because the weight of the vehicle is small and it is an electric vehicle, its dynamic response is fast, the shift is completely without setbacks, the acceleration is very linear, the start is very silky, and there is no noise from the engine, so its quietness has a natural advantage. In addition, the interior materials of this car are also excellent, equipped with leather steering wheel and leather sports style seats, as well as 7-inch full LCD instrument and 10.1-inch central control panel. In this price level, this free version of Seagull is richer and safer than the joint venture car. Seagull comes standard with 4 airbags and front and rear penetrating side air curtains, ESP electronic vehicle stability system, EPB electronic parking, reversing image, cruise control, and the free version is equipped with 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, ultrasonic radar, satellite navigation, keyless start/entry, external discharge and other equipment functions.

[dissatisfied]

Seagull’s chassis has a general texture and a certain degree of comfort, which is suitable for driving on urban roads. It runs on unpaved roads, and small bumps are not well filtered out. The trunk space is a little small, which is equivalent to sacrificing the trunk for the back row space, and the trunk is not high enough to put much things. Finally, the interior of the new car stage smells very bad, because there are many plastic materials, and there will be a choking smell after exposure.

[Power consumption]

At present, the power consumption per 100 kilometers of this car is 13kWh, because it needs to turn on air conditioning and refrigeration in summer, and the battery life is discounted, basically around 200 kilometers.

[Driving experience]

Seagull is a particularly easy-to-operate vehicle. One is that it is small in size and it is not difficult to drive. Then it has a fast starting speed, light and easy steering and sensitive braking, which is quite suitable for novice drivers and girls. However, it should be noted that after the car starts running, it is necessary to control the turning range, and the roll angle of the car is limited.

[Summary]

BYD Seagull can well replace Honda Fit and Volkswagen Polo, after all, the price is less than 80,000 yuan. It has smooth acceleration performance and quiet driving/riding environment, and it is relatively easy to drive. It only relies on electric power to drive, which is equivalent to saving fuel and money. The cost of using a car is very low, and it costs several yuan for driving 100 kilometers. Generally speaking, this car is very suitable for buying vegetables and taking children to and from school.
