The BYD Seagull is both easy to own and drive. It is equipped with a 30 kWh BYD Blade Battery that lets you travel up to 300 kilometers on one charge. You'll find it easy to keep moving without always needing to stop and charge. The Seagull’s electric motor gives you 74 hp and 135 Nm of torque, which means it can hit speeds up to 130 km/h. The Seagull can also go from zero to 50 km/h in just 4.9 seconds, making it a zippy automobile in tight city streets.
Launch
The big launch happened at Manila Bay, where the BYD Seagull was showcased as the latest addition to BYD’s lineup in the Philippines. The Seagull was launched as BYD's sixth model in the country. If the cost of electric cars has kept you from getting one, the Seagull's starting price during the launch could change your mind. It is quite the deal breaker for anyone looking to spend less and still help the environment by cutting down on pollution.
