Though compact, the vehicle can seat five people and offers a driving range of up to 300 kilometers, thanks to its 30kWh BYD Blade battery. The battery can be charged from 30% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes using a DC fast charger, while home charging takes about five hours with a wallbox.

It measures 3,780mm in length, 1,715mm in width, and 1,580mm in height, and rides on 16-inch wheels with a ground clearance of 120mm.

Inside, the Seagull is equipped with a 7-inch instrument display and a 10.1-inch touchscreen that can rotate horizontally or vertically, adding convenience for the driver. Most of the car’s functions, including air controls, are accessible through the touchscreen, making the dashboard clean and simple. The car offers 230 liters of cargo space with the rear seats up, which can expand to 930 liters when folded down.
