DISPELLING the myth that electric vehicles (EVs) are expensive, BYD Cars Philippines and ACMobility recently launched their most affordable EV, the BYD Seagull, aiming to encourage more customers to make the switch to electric mobility. With an introductory price of P898,000, the BYD Seagull's price is competitive with the suggested retail prices (SRPs) of similarly-sized internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.
The BYD Seagull features a futuristic exterior with sharp lines and rounded corners. Its compact yet spacious design combines sleek aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. Measuring 3,780 mm in length, 1,715 mm in width, and 1,580 mm in height, and with a tight 4.95-meter turning radius, this subcompact hatchback is ideal for urban environments with narrow roads and tight parking spaces. It comes equipped with LED projector-type headlamps featuring auto on/off functionality and manual height adjustment, LED daytime running lights, and LED bar taillights. The car also includes power-adjustable heated side mirrors, rear fog lamps, and stylish 16-inch alloy wheels paired with 175/55 tires.
