BYD updates Seagull electric vehicle with standard stabilization system for high-speed tire blowouts
In China, the updated hatchback starts at 65,900 yuan, with optional LiDAR and autonomous driving features available for an additional fee
BYD has updated its Seagull electric vehicle by adding a standard stabilization system for high-speed tire blowouts. The second generation features a larger body, an expanded interior, and the DiLink 150 infotainment system.
Zhang Zhuo, General Manager of BYD's Ocean Series, demonstrated the vehicle's test at a speed of 140 km/h. After a tire was damaged, the car continued moving in its lane and came to a stop without losing control.
The model is equipped with two battery options, offering a range of up to 420 km under the CLTC cycle. The Flash Charging technology allows the battery to be charged to 70% in five minutes. The updated Seagull also features more powerful electric motors and an independent rear suspension.
Outside of China, BYD is expected to introduce this model under the names Dolphin Surf and Dolphin Mini.
