The BYD Seagull: Finally, A Fun To Drive Tiny EV! 

It is not Tiny. This is Normal Size. The Crazy Big Cars are just too Crazy Big.👍BYD❤

Oh wow, I can't even remember the last time I've gone "I want this" about a new car. This is fantastic.

Dude stop complaining, it's a $10k car. You don't get a Tesla spec with that. It's got a motor, aircon, GPS and 300km range. What more do you expect from a $10k car?

It is a shame we can't buy affordable cars in the US.

No joke. This is the kind of car im waiting to come to Europe. I dont want a market of only 40 or 50K € cars.

I can't tell you how great I think this is and how we Americans should be very thankful to the Chinese companies for introducing these lower priced highly efficient EVs. Instead of them being a "threat" I would reframe it as a tremendous opportunity. My concern is the high tariff currently in place on Chinese automotive products will stymie access to the "Seagull" (what a cool car!) for possibly a few years. Also, the American auto companies will try to sell their own EV models to Americans most likely in the 35k to 40k range as compared to the low 20K in China. I say discontinue the tariff, open the market and let the market set the price. Plus, the safety issue simply has not been established yet. Open market: THAT is the American way.

If this starts exporting to western europe anywhere in the 16-20k starting range I think this would change the game. Especially if they did release a gti version in the future lol

I was a passenger in one during my last trip to China. Agree with the NVH and I felt the ride was a bit floaty at speed. But for the money it is incredible vale

I just bought one. It's beautiful and comfortable. It's quite spacious and full of functions.

I hate the huge EVs, I love the tiny affordable ones, my EV is a 12 year old Mitsubishi minicab miev EV Kei van and i love it. What id really like you to test is a baojun cloud.

Thanks for reviewing my next car, Ethan

The designer is Wolfgang Egger, who used to work with Audi. So, some connections with the Huracan looks.

What I love about that seagull, it reminds me of the Hyundai i10 from 2016, I love the design, 300 km range is very acceptable for a second car or city car.

Thank you for your excellent reviews, I have to agree with what you said. I have had my "Seag" as I call it since last June and it gives me a lot of driving pleasure. My better half always says that I get a stupid grin on my face when I drive it. I highly recommend it for the city and if needed, can take it on longer journeys with no problems.

Always watch your reviews of the Chinese Market, mainly Electric Vehicles of course, because that is what i am in to and must say, you do a fantastic Job Sir and glad i subscribed to this channel and spreading the word, much respect to you Sir. Keep up the great work. Cheers

The Seagull is an ideal car for driving in the city, suburb. Lots of small trips, starts and stops. Occasional trip over 100 Km. If you want a car for long distances, look harder for other options.

They announced it to Brazil as the Dolphin mini, since the Dolphin is a big success

Finaly a car for the masses! I want one, if to order in Spain i will!

In Australia for the price of a Seagull you'll only get a 13kw battery pack for home 😅

That would be awesome decision for me to export this baby to Türkiye for my personal usage. BYD soon officially starts to sell cars by debut of Dolphin soon. I don't know when Seagull will debut. For sure it's in my short list. 😊

Wish BYD would sell this vehicle in the States 🇺🇲

BYD Australia have apparently ruled out bringing it to Oz. What a colossal mistake. This little EV would be an absolute game-changer to Oz market - BYD wouldn't be able to keep up with the orders. I would buy one tomorrow - the perfect little run-around.

Wait I actually love the asymmetrical center control knobs for the radio and climate controls. This interior is so fun

Love it! I'd buy one in a heartbeat (when I need a new vehicle), but living in Canada you know it will never get here. Gotta be a giant hulking $70K EV to be sold here... Just imagine how much easier that would be to park than your giant pickup that never hauls anything!

They need to get this to europe soon, the market is so ready

BYD EV number one in the world👍👍👍💪💪💪

Yeah, would love a Seagull Sport edition !!!

There have been tests with the Seagull that conclude that if it's not stressed too much on a highway, this thing can exceed the standard test range quite easily. It's light on its feet and light on power consumption for sure.

That's some great milage for an electric vehicle! Compact, but enough room for a couple of dogs and I like the pink trim 😊.

Love it. Like the Edgy exterior design. Interior, i won't mind neat and more utilitarian design.

I can remember about two and a half years ago when the BYD Dolphin was launched in China and when it was launched in Europe it was a longer car with a decent range and it also had a rear wiper. The same could happen with the Seagull.

Bring this to Dubai, I'm ready to buy it

finally! It actually looks huge from here 9:06! This can easily beat the Toyota Wigo or Honda Brio in our country at $15,000 or lower

Good work - you are a talented speaker and presenter

looks like a winning formula ... if they can make it available in as many markets ad possible I have no doubt they will the a sales chart topper...

This little car is simply out off the charts!

My man, you dont waste time there, good job!) (Aleks Wuhan)

looks like a great choice for my first car

I really like your videos man!!!

Your best video so far. Seagull GTI would be awesome for an urban runabout.

I need this car now. A damn the US wont let us have these for a good price

Now I would consider getting an EV

I want it! From Sweden with love!

I like BYDs approach about safety. Sure you get some hard plastic but the safety is no compromise.

I wish they sold this in the US for $20,000 or less with a range of 350 miles per charge, I'd be strongly interested.

please bring BYD seagull to Indonesia, cant wait how affordable for the price

i agree. i will buy one of these soon, but I really wish I could get a 75kw version with less contrast in the interior.

Those Sodium-Ion batteries are a game changer. Hopefully they sell these elsewhere, too.

A great little car, love it

A 3door "GTI" version of this for the global market would enable BYD to quite literally print money.

You Sir, deserve atleast a million subscriber!

I would like to see you review the Toyota BZ3 EV. Really Interested in that car.

I just bought (today!) one in Brazil where i live. Its a little miracle of a car. I love it. Unfortunately here they only sell one SIMPLE but decent versión. I would've bought a gti / sport version if they had one, in a blink of an aye! even Paying 30% or 50% more. hands down 😂

I hope this comes to Philippines soon! Also Atto 3😊. Great and fun review as always!

Getting from A to B should not cost anyone $40K plus dollars

Such a nice car. Specially for new drivers like young 16 high school kids or college to get raound for work and school.

It's actually $11,500usd for the fully equipped model and $10,000usd for the base model.

Would love this to be sold in Australia, safety regulations may prevent that from happening... :(

BYD are in Australia, but they don't seem to want to bring this one here. I would buy one if they did. Every EV here is $40k+ AUD and some kind of SUV style body.

The price is absolutely insane. Idk how they're achieving that but WOW

Ethan... you loved this car because of the Barbie interior and you know it 🤭😜

This will sell extremely well ❤

BYD, we're still waiting for you in Indonesia

I have been waiting for it.

People in US and Canada really want a cheap run around car like this, but there are none.

Please do a review of Chery EQ1 2024 38kw version ..there is not much in depth review for that people's car.. Perfect for urban driving

Does it come with airconditioning standard? What about apple/android connectivity?

If this will come to europe for less than 15k I will buy it as my second car.

I like this one over the BYD atto but it's not available in our country and alsooo, pink is not for everyone hahah!

Wish that was being sold in the USA

I want one for under $13k that’s good buy!

I like the Design👌

Great little ev, need one ❤❤❤

I wish they come up with a right hand drive one

Oh~ My~GOD!!!!!!! I Want to drive !!!!!

What is the distance with the air condition ON ? who many mileage would this lower ?

I think you also need to review few Indian evs which are under 12 to 15k ,come loaded with decent tech and are vfm.

THANK YOU.

I would by it straight here in Germany as my Daly Car... but I'm very sure if they offer it here it will be minimum 18k Euro or even more... think 15k would be the max Price Im are ready to spend, of course with enough Dealership's for Service the Car... this Car can't replace my others... but my usage would be min 70% instead...

Volkswagen says they will bring the ID1 for €20.000. If so, tough competition in small cars that many are waiting for. You could expect the VW to be a fun driving silent car, like the e-UP which you can still buy new here for, ehhh, €29.500

I really want this car. Especially that proposed Seagull GTI version. I would take a trip to a different country just to drive one. I wish the US would carve out an exemption for these types of cars, as we have no options like it here. A sub-3000 lb EV with active safety features is not a threat to other cars on the road. LFP blade batteries are less likely to start a fire than the batteries we have available in the US. And it likely has the least threat to the environment, both in production and operation. Especially with the more environmentally-friendly LFP (eliminates problematic Nickel and Cobalt, and replaces it with the cheap essential nutrients iron and phosphorus) or Na Ion (replaces the Lithium with Sodium) battery chemistry.

Looks like fun. Hopefully it will join its BYD stablemates here in Israel as well. These are the vehicles that will make a big difference. People may be scared to invest big bucks in larger EV's that may be using yesterday's powertrain in a couple of years, but the risk would be smaller in a smaller EV. It'd make a great "first EV" for some EV sceptics. Also, the secret sauce for a city car is being zippy. Immediate midrange acceleration, especially between, say, 30 - 70 KP/h to zip through traffic and into parking spaces. It's also the expected behaviour of small city cars in the West. That's why people buy them. People like good handling, as we can see with the success of the MG4/Mulan. This is where most Chinese cars fall behind their Western counterparts. People expect a firm, sporty ride in smaller city cars at the expense of softness since these aren't cars you will do very long drives in anyway. May as well enjoy yourself. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Interesting car.

Good info.a dealer is about to open here in the Dom. REP.,IF I IMPORT ONE ,WHO will work on it here?

Those power specs feel like something out of the 90’s.

车轮哥 👍🏻，感谢你的支持

Make sure have a few glass breaker handy in this car. 🔥

China continues to innovate. U.S. market take notice

The crazy part is the range. I would take that range over any fancy/gimicky driver aides. This will be a perfect city car.

the designer from Lamborghini can´t be unseen

Need this in the USA

Beautiful car very cheaper and full optional . Very very good

Hey there! I'm trying to do a similar kinds thing from the Japan side, so I just subbed and will be taking notes from you guys from now on! Quick question: would the Seagull classify as a "kei" car in Japan?

Wonder if they will be coming to Colombia?

ATL motors (BYD dealer in Jamaica) hasn't started selling this yet

I would like the BYD Seagull to come to the UK, but right now it’s unclear if this model will come to the UK. However, if I look at what Australian motoring media has reported, they’ve gone to say that the Seagull is unlikely to be sold in Australia, suggesting that RHD models aren’t a huge priority.

That exporter you are talking about is very interesting.. I wonder if people can also avail these cars @ a price close to China's?

please come to the PH BYD. I want this car.

Looks a lot (appearance + dimensions) like my Toyota VersoS (also white). If they upgrade nvh + motor to match it, I wouldn't mind using it for city etc. No other mini electric mpv is available.

You should do news on the Xbus like its not having any updates recently

The metal on it reminds of those first EV's with golf cart batteries 2005 35k for those things back then hahah I had one 35mph max haha agagaga
