BYD Seagull

BYD Seagull is an upcoming compact electric hatchback from BYD India, expected to be priced at ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom). It is a city-focused EV with a claimed 405 km range from a 38 kWh battery, offered with an automatic drivetrain. BYD has not confirmed the Indian launch date, so the details below reflect the currently listed specification.

Range and charging

The Seagull claims 405 km of range on the test cycle. Real-world range will be lower in mixed driving, particularly with air conditioning and highway speeds. Notably, fast charging is not available on the Seagull, so charging is via regular AC, and BYD has not published a full charge time yet.

Performance and driving

The Seagull is an automatic hatchback built for urban commuting. It keeps things simple: no fast charging and no regenerative braking are listed on the India-spec model. Motor output and top speed have not been officially stated, and this is a compact city car rather than a performance machine.

Practicality and features

As a hatchback, the Seagull is designed for easy parking and tight city streets. It is available in White, Cyan and Black. Full feature details and interior dimensions are expected to be confirmed closer to the Indian launch.

Who should buy it

The BYD Seagull suits budget-conscious city buyers who want an affordable electric hatchback and can charge at home overnight. If you rely on public fast chargers, the lack of fast charging on this model makes it a weaker fit.
