Meet a new BYD: a baby bird will fly in the spring
BYD Auto, represented in Israel by three models, the BYD Han electric sedan, the BYD Tang electric SUV and the compact BYD Atto 3, is going to introduce an electric subcompact car with a beautiful name Seagull. Although the size of the novelty is rather closer to a small baby bird. The model will be officially unveiled at the 2023 Shanghai Motor Show. The new electric car will cost about 60,000 yuan (9,000 dollars). Next, the manufacturer plans on exporting the Seagull to foreign markets. Meet the new BYD.
Recall that according to the results of 2022, BYD took the third place in the ranking of the best-selling electric vehicles in Israel with a score of 3,710 units sold. It is already known that in 2023, BYD increases the price for its models presented on the Israeli market. The price change is related to the new tax calculation formula.
The new BYD Seagull is based on the BYD e-platform 3.0. The car is 3,780 mm long, 1,715 mm high and 1,540 mm wide. It has a wheelbase of 2,500 mm. The car looks a little toy, like most of its A-segment relatives: it has only one wiper, while the bright body features black linings. The model comes with 15 or 16-inch wheels. The hatchback will weigh 1,160 kg.
The interior features a large touchscreen multimedia system, two cup holders and a multifunctional steering wheel. The car is equipped with an electric motor with 75 hp, providing a maximum speed of 130 km/h. The promised driving range is 250–300 km.
