Since its debut in 2020, the cumulative sales of Hongguang MINI EV have exceeded 700,000 units, directly igniting the entire micro pure electric vehicle market. Of course, one of the key factors behind Hongguang MINI EV’s success is that it is cheap.

and BYD , as the current leader in the new energy vehicle market, naturally couldn't sit still. Recently, it was reported that BYD will launch a new A00-class model - Seagull in the near future. It is reported that Haiou is built on BYD e-platform 3.0 and is positioned as a boutique new energy small car, adopting a four-door and five-seater layout. The price will be around 80,000 yuan. There is no doubt that Haiou will lower the entry threshold for BYD pure electric vehicles. In terms of

styling, from the known information, the new car is built based on BYD's "marine aesthetics" design concept. The front face of the new car adopts a relatively vertical design, with a trapezoidal grille located below. The headlights do not have a round style. In addition, judging from the protruding crossbar of the front bumper , the front face of the new car has a sense of "small dolphin". On the side of the body of

, the new car has a very compact shape, and it also adopts a body design with low front and high rear to create a feeling of ready to go. In addition, the new car will also adopt a suspended roof design, making the entire side more textured. It is worth mentioning that from the side of the car, we can see that the new car is a five-door and four-seater model, and its positioning is obviously higher than that of Wuling Hongguang MINI EV. The rear part of the car, Seagull adopts a through-type taillight light group design, which stretches the visual width of the entire rear of the car to a certain extent, making it look very three-dimensional. Inside the light group, the Seagull also adds dot-shaped detail decoration, adding a bit of exquisiteness to the rear of the car. It is worth mentioning that at the rear of the car, the new car is also equipped with a small tail wing, which also indicates that the Seagull will face a younger and more sporty market. In terms of interior design, BYD Haiou also adopts BYD's latest family design concept, adopts an interior layout similar to the Dolphin, and the overall style is relatively simple. Judging from the spy photos previously exposed, the new car will be equipped with two LCD displays, the smaller one is an LCD instrument panel, while the larger one is a floating multimedia central control screen, and the size of this central control screen may exceed 13 inches.

It is worth mentioning that although the price is not high, we expect the Seagull will be equipped with a sports integrated seat, and the bottom channel of the center console will also adopt a hollow design, and the mobile phone wireless charging function may be set above. In high-end models, the new car will also be equipped with heat pump and air conditioning . Although no relevant information has been released yet, it is expected that the new car will be equipped with blade battery . According to the previous news, it will be built on e-platform 3.0 and will also support fast charging function. In terms of power, according to the previous news, the new car is built on e-platform 3.0 and supports fast charging function. Specifically, Seagull may offer two different battery life versions. For reference, the Dolphin is equipped with a drive motor with a maximum power of 70 kW and 130 kW, and a lithium iron phosphate blade battery and battery pack with a battery capacity of 30.7 kWh and 44.9 kWh, respectively. The battery life is between 301-405km. Referring to the price of dolphins, we expect the price of the Seagull to be within 100,000 yuan and the range should be around 300 kilometers.

is written at the end:

The arrival of Seagull can not only help BYD to better enrich its product line, but also lower the entry threshold for BYD models. Of course, the current intensity of the micro electric vehicle market is obvious to everyone. In addition to the popular Hongguang MINI EV, there are also a large number of latecomers such as Chery QQ ice cream, Zero-Road T03, Fengguang mini EV, Changan glutinous corn, etc.
