With the popularity of cars such as Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, mini-cars and small cars have become popular. After all, they are small and easy to park, and because they are pure trams, their daily acceleration ability is still worthy of recognition. This type of car is really comfortable in the face of car scenes such as buying food, sending a baby, and commuting to work. This year, the pure electric small car that everyone is most concerned about is undoubtedly BYD. After all, this is a model with a low car purchase threshold of less than 100,000 yuan, and its cost performance is indeed very high.
It is understood that the 2023 BYD Seagull has three models to choose from, which are divided into the dynamic version, the free version and the flying version. The prices are 73,800 yuan, 78,800 yuan and 89,800 yuan respectively. Which model is worth buying? Let’s take the opportunity of the new car to the store and analyze it together.
Seeing more seagulls with other colors, the black version of BYD seagulls has different temperament. The front of the car is made of the classic design language of Ocean Net. Although the hood is small in size, it adopts a dive design with the word BYD in the middle, which is highly recognizable. The headlights on both sides of the front of the car are angular, and the large black air intake surrounded by the front and the fangs-like design are very sharp. In terms of lighting, except for the dynamic version, the other two models are equipped with LED far and near lights and LED daytime running lights.
On the side, the length, width and height of the new car are 3780*1715*1540mm, and the wheelbase is 2500 mm. The side lines are relatively tough, the waistline is on the rise, the semi-hidden door handle is relatively small, the side skirt is also designed in three dimensions, and the car is more agile with personalized multi-frame wheels. In addition, the wheel hub is available in 15/16 inches.
The shape of the tail is layered, with a blackened through taillight in the middle and a letter logo in the middle, which is highly recognizable. The shape of the rear enclosure echoes the front enclosure.
The interior is designed symmetrically, with a 10.1-inch adaptive floating LCD screen in the middle. Dilink system is excellent in practicality and intelligent performance, and also supports voice interaction, audio-visual entertainment, mobile APP, Bluetooth key, NFC car key, etc. In terms of safety configuration, it also has 4 airbags, ESP, exterior rearview mirror heating and other functions, and some models also have high-level intelligent driving assistance systems.
In terms of power, BYD Seagull is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 55kW and a maximum torque of 135 N m.. In terms of battery life, they are 305km and 405km respectively, and the corresponding battery capacity is 30.08kWh and 38.88kWh.
Recommended model: Personally, I recommend the free version model, with a price of 78,800 yuan, which is 5,000 yuan more than the dynamic version (73,800 yuan), but the configuration has been upgraded with 16-inch wheels, LED far and near lights, LED daytime running lights, one-button lifting of windows and wireless charging of mobile phones, which is still quite powerful. The flying version (89,800 yuan) is 11,000 yuan more expensive than the free version, which mainly upgrades the electric/low adjustment of the main driver’s seat, and can also be equipped with driving assistance and other functions, which is not as cost-effective as the free version.
Summary: In fact, the comprehensive strength of BYD Seagull is still relatively strong. It not only adopts the model built by E platform 3.0 architecture, but also is equipped with blade batteries, which is outstanding in battery life and intelligence. Compared with the same class, it is indeed a small car suitable for home transportation.
