When it comes to new energy scooters, many people think of low price and low quality, in short, it has nothing to do with the quality of driving. But after the BYD Seagull goes on the market, this impression may become a thing of the past.
The Seagull's ** may be a little more expensive than some of the so-called mainstream scooters, priced at 738-8.980,000 yuan, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of consumers for it. So what exactly is it about Seagull that attracts consumers?
First of all, from the perspective of exterior design, unlike most of the current pure electric cars emphasizing the round and lovely styling style, the Seagull adopts the marine aesthetic design, through the swooping integrated body shape, cyberpunk design elements, blazing LED daytime running lights, and the blessing of design elements such as the vibrant multi-segment dynamic waistline, the Seagull has a rare sense of sportiness and strong recognition of models of the same level.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Seagull are 3780 1715 1540mm, and the wheelbase is 2500mm. It may be that from the data point of view, the spatial performance of the whole vehicle is decent, but after the actual experience of getting into the car, you will find surprises. Because the Seagull is based on the BYD e platform 30 build, under the design of pure electric platform and flat floor, the shaft length ratio of the Seagull reaches 661%, although it is a four-seat layout, the actual passenger space in the car can be said to be comparable to that of an A-class car. In addition, the rear row supports the overall reclining, and the trunk control can be extended to 930L.
For the configuration, although the Seagull is BYD's entry-level product, it does not disappoint, and the whole system is equipped with 4 airbags as standard, which can reduce the damage caused by collisions to the occupants of the car as much as possible. In addition, 10The 1-inch adaptive rotating pad is also standard for the whole system, and it has a built-in DILINK intelligent car machine system, which supports voice control function, setting navigation, controlling air conditioning, etc.
In terms of power and range, the test drive model is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 55kW and a peak torque of 135N·m, and the remaining range is 405km when fully charged.
As for the power, the Seagull is not weak in its class, the flat start is very light, the initial acceleration is very sensitive, 0-50km h only 49s。However, when the speed is increased to 100 km h, it is a little weak. In addition, if the car is fully loaded, it is best to adjust the driving mode to Sport in advance when encountering a long uphill slope with a large slope.
In addition, through the test drive, it is obvious that the chassis of the Seagull is significantly better than that of the scooter of the same level, especially when cornering quickly, the support given by the suspension can make the driving safer, in addition, when pressing over the manhole cover road, the suspension can also play a significant cushioning role, effectively improving the driving comfort.
Write at the end
As a blockbuster model of BYD's layout in the pure electric car market, the Seagull not only has obvious advantages in space and driving quality compared with pure electric vehicles of the same level, but also does not show weakness even in the face of classic fuel vehicles such as the Fit, and the sales volume of the new car exceeded 14,300 units in the first month of its launch.
