BYD Auto has begun selling its latest model, the BYD Seagull subcompact five-door electric hatchback, in its home market of China.
The 3.78-meter model has a carefully crafted avant-garde exterior, created under the leadership of the German Wolfgang Egger, who over the years was the chief designer of Audi, SEAT and Alfa Romeo. The Seagull has a one-volume body shape, intricate stampings on the sidewalls, painted in black C-pillars. Inside, there are “emotional” forms of the front panel and tablet displays of a digital instrument panel and a media system. The dimension of the second is 10.1 inches, and it can be rotated - oriented horizontally or vertically.
The machine rests on a platform with MacPherson-type independent suspension at the front and a semi-independent torsion beam at the rear.
The Seagull is powered by a 55 kW (76 hp) electric motor and 135 Nm of torque. They are powered by a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 30 or 39 kWh (customer's choice). In the first case, the power reserve on a full charge reaches 305 km, in the second - 405 km.
The basic equipment of the BYD Seagull includes, among other things, four airbags, ABS, ESP, electric drive and heated side mirrors, and a media complex.
The price of new items in China is from 73,800 yuan
