BYD launches larger second-gen Seagull from $9,810, adds flash charging

BYD (HKEX: 1211) has launched the second-generation Seagull, lowering the starting price, enlarging the body and adding flash charging to select variants of its key small electric vehicle.

The company announced at a launch event in Zhengzhou, Henan, on Tuesday, that the new model comes in 5 variants, with official guide prices ranging from 65,900 yuan ($9,810) to 99,900 yuan.

The Vitality, Freedom, Comfort, Flying and Smart variants are priced at 65,900 yuan, 72,900 yuan, 75,900 yuan, 82,900 yuan and 99,900 yuan, respectively.

By comparison, the 2026 model-year version of the previous-generation Seagull started at 69,900 yuan when it launched in May, putting the new generation's entry price 4,000 yuan lower.

BYD also announced trade-in prices ranging from 62,900 yuan to 96,900 yuan, offering eligible buyers a 3,000 yuan discount on each variant's guide price.

Flash charging is among the main upgrades. The 3 higher-spec variants, starting at 75,900 yuan, support the technology and can charge from 10% to 70% in 5 minutes at dedicated charging stations.

These 3 variants — Comfort, Flying and Smart — each feature a 39.2-kWh battery pack and a CLTC range of 420 km.

The entry-level Vitality and Freedom variants use a 30.1-kWh battery pack, offering a CLTC range of 320 km without the flash charging capability.

Under the launch incentives, buyers of the 3 higher-spec variants who use their vehicles for non-commercial purposes are entitled to 1 year of free charging at BYD flash charging stations from the date of delivery.

The second-generation Seagull is significantly larger, measuring 4,205 mm in length, 1,810 mm in width and 1,570 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm.
