It is not Tiny. This is Normal Size. The Crazy Big Cars are just too Crazy Big.👍BYD❤

Oh wow, I can't even remember the last time I've gone "I want this" about a new car. This is fantastic.

It is a shame we can't buy affordable cars in the US.

[eddualmeida]

No joke. This is the kind of car im waiting to come to Europe. I dont want a market of only 40 or 50K € cars.

[Samdex]

Dude stop complaining, it's a $10k car. You don't get a Tesla spec with that. It's got a motor, aircon, GPS and 300km range. What more do you expect from a $10k car?

I can't tell you how great I think this is and how we Americans should be very thankful to the Chinese companies for introducing these lower priced highly efficient EVs. Instead of them being a "threat" I would reframe it as a tremendous opportunity. My concern is the high tariff currently in place on Chinese automotive products will stymie access to the "Seagull" (what a cool car!) for possibly a few years. Also, the American auto companies will try to sell their own EV models to Americans most likely in the 35k to 40k range as compared to the low 20K in China. I say discontinue the tariff, open the market and let the market set the price. Plus, the safety issue simply has not been established yet. Open market: THAT is the American way.

If this starts exporting to western europe anywhere in the 16-20k starting range I think this would change the game. Especially if they did release a gti version in the future lol

I was a passenger in one during my last trip to China. Agree with the NVH and I felt the ride was a bit floaty at speed. But for the money it is incredible vale

Thanks for reviewing my next car, Ethan

What I love about that seagull, it reminds me of the Hyundai i10 from 2016, I love the design, 300 km range is very acceptable for a second car or city car.

[johnsmith-jtod]

I just bought one. It's beautiful and comfortable. It's quite spacious and full of functions.

[metricstormtrooper]

I hate the huge EVs, I love the tiny affordable ones, my EV is a 12 year old Mitsubishi minicab miev EV Kei van and i love it. What id really like you to test is a baojun cloud.

Looks like we didn't provide the power figures in HP and lbs.-feet as we normally do, sorry about that!

The Seagull makes 75 HP/100 lbs.-ft from its front mounted electric motor.


*We currently cannot support customers in the United States, Canada, or right hand-drive nations due to import regulations and unavailability of right hand-drive models

The Seagull is an ideal car for driving in the city, suburb. Lots of small trips, starts and stops. Occasional trip over 100 Km. If you want a car for long distances, look harder for other options.

[Hedgehog-nyos]

Thank you for your excellent reviews, I have to agree with what you said. I have had my "Seag" as I call it since last June and it gives me a lot of driving pleasure. My better half always says that I get a stupid grin on my face when I drive it. I highly recommend it for the city and if needed, can take it on longer journeys with no problems.

[StewsChannel]

Love it! I'd buy one in a heartbeat (when I need a new vehicle), but living in Canada you know it will never get here. Gotta be a giant hulking $70K EV to be sold here...
Just imagine how much easier that would be to park than your giant pickup that never hauls anything!

[dellusionportland]

Always watch your reviews of the Chinese Market, mainly Electric Vehicles of course, because that is what i am in to and must say, you do a fantastic Job Sir and glad i subscribed to this channel and spreading the word, much respect to you Sir. Keep up the great work. Cheers

[Imnotjoe]

They announced it to Brazil as the Dolphin mini, since the Dolphin is a big success

The designer is Wolfgang Egger, who used to work with Audi. So, some connections with the Huracan looks.

[willempieffers]

Finaly a car for the masses! I want one, if to order in Spain i will!
