All the EV You Will Ever Need for $12k - BYD Seagull Review 

If BYD gets the pricing right for overseas markets the Seagull could well be the VW Beetle of this century.

Why is no one mentioning the reviewer guy's English is so elegant? I love how perfectly he speaks British English which fascinates me

this is like a cuter version version of my chevy spark. I love it!

Excellent show / episode, thank you. The Seagull is the BYD I'm planning to buy. Not patiently waiting for it to come to Australia.

another excellent review - thank you. I can see this makin a lot of people happy in the UK when it inevitably reaches our shores. the current class divide / high barrier to entry is a really divise point for a lot of us.

Unforunately there is 3 serious cons: Only 4 seats; No heat pump; the BYD's price is at least 2 times bigger worldwide (not +50%), than in China

Whoever styled this car , has their finger on the moment button 😊

Great video! I really hope this enters the Canadian market :( it's over 3x cheaper than even the cheapest EV here

Great review! Wish this is available in the Philippines. BYD get on it😊

What an excellent channel. I am impressed. I wonder why the RU-vid algo doesn't promote you. Like I can literally search for BYD Seagull and yout video doesn't come up

Great review on the Seagull and surprisingly good English!

Fully agree that the front & (lack of) rear wipers needs urgent fixing. On any British motorway in winter, so much crap gets thrown up by passing HGVs that you ABSOLUTELY need good wipers or the car will quickly become dangerous to drive. My little Suzuki Celerio, which has similar dimensions to the Seagull, has two front & one rear wiper so it can be done at a tiny add-on cost. And while we're talking visibility, don't forget to put some shading between the two sunvisors (ie where the rear view mirror is). At this time of year, the sun is really low in the sky & can blind you if you're pointing in the wrong direction. Other than that, if BYD bring the Seagull to the UK and don't, like so many EV suppliers, try to gouge the price, then I'm definitely going to get one.

Great review 😀 hopefully this Gets to Norway.

Thanks for an interesting review. The title of your review says "Dolphin" though for your video showing the Seagull. "My favorite EV...until I say otherwise" HA!

Please show dc charging

Excellent review - thanks

It's a lovely little hatch. I'd buy one in a heart beat

I definetely gonna buy one.

it has perhaps the safest battery technology available that is inexpensive. As far as I know, this battery is not a fire hazard

What a neat little car

Best review on the internet. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward for the arriving of the Seagull in Brasil. (:

It would still be a hard fight in my country Malaysia. We have a Perodua MyVi here at $12k brand new which is the size of the Dolphin, uses toyota engine and transmission, has 6 airbag, adaptive cruise, lane keep assist, fully loaded with tech/features, 10seconds 0-100km/h, 200km/h top speed andit gets 49mpg (22km/l), our fuel price is around $0.44/liter. As a comparison the Dolphin in my country now sells at $21k base

Mein nächstes Auto ❤! I love it! I m waiting in Germany on this car!!!!😊

This car has the capability to revolutionize cab industry in mid/ low income developing nations

BYD Seagull, make the rear view larger, add a heat pump to keep the battery operating optimally in cold weather, AWD option with Firestone WeatherGrip snow rated tires for US market (Alaska), one pedal driving with regenerative brakes, FOB key replaced with access from smartphone and or a credit card, battery charging under 15 minutes even in extreme cold climate, high entry for seniors ease of entry.

Excellent to the point review

I like this ride. But given the highway feedback, would it mean that this isn't good for highway speeds over 100kph and I should opt for the dolphin instead?

nice lil car right here, impressive head room

very cool and practical. I hope there will be a 100-150 horsepower version. the test is very good, it contains all important data.

Great looking car….but what’s with the pink?! Is that the only color available? Sorry, but my car is not gonna have pink interior trim.

Awesome review! Could you give please tell why would pick Leapmotor t03 over Seagull?

Dolphin 🐬 sounds more like bigger sister ☺️ and rhe pink is so adorable

Thanks, very interesting vehicle and excellent video.

Neta V is abt 13k usd in Thailand now :) much larger booth space and more tech I feel. My wife loves hers

You should compare it with Tiago EV..!!

That is the car I need in Australia but we only get big, expensive cars.

Im buying BYD for sure. No brainer.

Nice video and brilliant British accent!

I saw golf carts pricing at over $11,000 at the front of Lowes Hardware last week. This is an actual car, for less money .

IF ( and I really mean..IF) this excellent little car ever comes to the U.S. , I'll be the first customer at the dealership.

The presenter reminds me or Kai and Lok from Digital Rev TV which they tried to do a Topgear for camera. Now that this is about cars, damn, it's like Chinese Topgear in English

Wish they were sold in Canada.

Nice review.

thanks for the part about the wipers..not very good is it..2 wipers and 1 for the back would be perfect

It's all I need BYD seagull

Single wiper is a cheap mistake and does no heat pump mean no heater?

We drive 80mph or 130kph. So this car would be a bit slow on American freeways but as a town car it is fine and can go on the freeway

This Seagull is larger than my first car, and I'm not *that* old. A 3.87m long car should be fine for the needs of a 3 person family and not just for city driving. People who have 4 large dogs have plenty of huge SUVs to pick from already.

in Europe i think that the competicion is Dacia Spring but i like BYD Seagull better

Mobilnya kecil dan keren dengan harga sangat terjangkau akan sangat banyak yang mau beli, kapan akan masuk ke Indonesia BYD SEAGULL ini ?

i hope this car coming soon in vietnam ❤

The GWM ORA 3 400 is only $1,500 expensive than this BYD Seagul or Dolphin Mini here in the Philippines so majority of buyers will be ignoring this model as the ORA 3 400 is on a higher class. It's a DOA model for sure unless BYD decides to reduce the price of this BEV.

BYD Dolphin price ?

Model 2 competitor?

Oscar for the designer 🏅

Is it a death trap in a crash?

This car is for new drivers?

You know that you DEFINITELY said 'definitely' like a hundred times, difinitely. 🤪

Hey You said this car does not have any competition in India but sadly You r wrong on that aspect.India has a car name Tata Tiago ev which has similar specs and range at more affordable price..

In colombia is 5 seats

man, 12k usd for all that?? Nowonder EU and USA become protectionist 😅

Looks more like baby MG4 than Lamborghini. 😊 chinese evs in my country are about twice the china price. But for 20-24k this would sell like hot cakes!

Please, please, PLEASE bring this car to the U.S.!! I've been hanging on to my 2010 Honda Fit, because I have a small garage AND I want a car similar in size. (The Honda Jazz isn't being sold yet in the U.S. either.) Americans love their big cars and car makers and oil companies profit from their sales, however, I really want a small EV and if others aren't being sold in the U.S. soon, I'll be forced to buy a MINI Cooper--which is a lot more money . . . sigh.

Offering such as the Seagull makes it hard for me to frown towards BYD, albeit I'm looking forward to Telescope's review of Weilai's up-and-coming brand(s). As always, thanks for the informative and fun episode.

Compare that with Punch EV from TATA

The competition is the price not the other evs

To build a brand , all car makers need a loss leader like this ! Let’s hope the west is listening 😊

If it sells in Australia for 20k it would sell like hot cakes

i would not mind

Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 🎶🎶🎶🕊️🕊️☀️☀️☀️🌴🌴🌴

A nice car for living in a small city

Dude really complaining about not having automatic climate control in a $10k economy car. That car could come with crank windows and only a heater and it would still be price low.

The Viet Nam EV: Vinfast VF3 coming out next year is 3114 x 1673 x 1567 mm, plus 200 km range and will cost around 13000 USD That's a true agressively cute car

Great video and review. Loved the visuals but could've improved the audio quality. Very low level and too much wind noise, a mini deadcat for the lavalier will do the job! 👍🏼

6.5 miles per kw. Significantly better than anything you can get in the US.

Why do you and fully auto show all go to guangdong to review this car?

🎉

15k USD would be very competitive

When is it coming to Australia. Please please. But guess what fossil Fuels own this country and both Partys makes far too much in petrol tax. Shane

China has best support for Ev charging in the world. Any market wanting to switch will invest in charging. USA charging companies stock and investment is collapsing

In our country the dealership MARK UP the MARK UP! CALLING Elon! 3:)

Great review, interesting it doesn't have a rear wiper, obviously would be needed. Fix the part of the dash where the driver bumps his leg and better front windscreen wiper coverage. Can live with its minor problems if the price is right. Other than that, would love this car.

It’s a massive hit 😊

It has a better look than Wuling Air EV

Putting a longer (wider) wiper blade would go a long way to clear more of the windscreen. Possibly a more robust wiper motor to cope with the extra wiper drag.

Significantly more handsome than its bigger brother the Dolphin. It visually has more in common with the MG4, which isn't a bad thing. We've already got an MG4 in the driveway but as a 2 car family, we still need to replace our 2nd car with a suitable EV. If this ever makes its way to Australia, it's top of my list.

very simplistic, efficient and most importantly, affordable even for average Joe. Please, bring to USA. We are tired of 40k to 100k hyped eV's that continue to burn on streets of Los Angles and New York.

Um carro que tem tudo para ser o futuro. Todos sabemos que o mais difícil de tufo é fazer um carro barato que seja minimamente bom.

In India, this EV faces tough competition with TATA Punch EV. Mind you, the Punch EV has 35 Kwh Battery wonderfully packed in similar footprint as Seagull. Tata scores high on crash safety ratings, handling and ride quality. Currently Punch EV top model costs 16 lakhs rupees on road. However, the usable real world range is only 250 km. If only Seagull delivers real world range of 300km at similar price, it can be a decisive winner.

Can a car's sun roof withstand a hailstorm?

This car will probably have a hard time making it to international markets because of the dealers union in those countries lol. This is way too cheap for how much value you are getting and it will completely destroy the sales of other hatchbacks in the market.

Good video and practical car.

Anyone knows how they can have prices so low? We are talking half the price of a Dacia Spring which already is ridicolously bad made. Another question. Aerodinamically speaking, does the car "pull" on the right at high speeds due to the half grille on the front? Why didn't they make a full width shorter grille instead?

軽自動車にしてくれたら買うんだけど😍

we need in india

Why does the Seagull look better than Dolphin...

This actually looks like it should have been the new kia picanto 😊

Looks like they hit all the right notes for a minimum sized practical ev where the price will make or break it, I expect Ev's to blow everything else off the road for value within a decade IF governments make the right decisions....

Cheaper to run and now cheaper to buy. EVs will draw down the cost of driving.
