BYD Seagull will come to Europe in 2025

Stella Li, vice president at BYD just confirmed that the BYD Seagull made for the European market will come next year:
Yes, we plan to bring the Seagull to Europe next year. But it’s not the Chinese-market Seagull, it will be a European-market Seagull; a new Seagull. You haven’t seen it yet; even myself, I have not seen it yet.
The BYD Seagull is already enjoying great success in South America, particularly in Brazil, where it is called BYD Dolphin Mini and the Chinese manufacturer has already confirmed that a 5-seater version is coming.

Awesome! So glad to see you posting again as well!

Thanks, it's nice to be back.

It will be good to have it here in Europe - we lack any competitive options for affordable BEVs at the moment!

I hope that they don't increase the size too much. Small is Beautiful!

Agreed.

If they can keep it smaller than 4 meters long and put 5 seats in, it would be a good alternative to the upcoming Renault 5 E-Tech and the Nissan Micra EV.

¿Any chance we can comment on the press releases? ¿A wrapper web page maybe?

Renault is trying to sell the new R5 in Rolland Garros but they still don´t produce it. Looks to me marketing too soon or some kind of greenwhasing. Why not advertise more the available for sale Megane or the Scenic EVs?

On the BYD Seagull, I like a lot the current car, lets see how the European version improves or worsen the current version. But the chance of a new BYD battery totally worth the wait. Curiously battery warranty in Brazil is better (for private use only) than what they offer in other markets (I checked Hong Kong, Spain). There is a war on warranty that EVs can give and ICE vehicles can´t as Dr. Holland noted in his last article on segment A cars. Will be useful as the ultimate push to EV sales.

Hi.

To keep it simple and much easier for me to maintain with limited free time, I've decided to have press releases as external links.

Most of the times the press releases are interesting to read, but I have nothing interesting to add.

The ones that I think are worthy, I'll write articles about them to give my opinion - a day or two later - and everyone can comment.

To be fair with people at Renault, the Renault 5 E-Tech will be on sale this year and will most likely be their best seller by far. They need to start advertising an alternative to the Citroën ë-C3.

Both the Renault 5 E-Tech and the Nissan Micra EV have the potential to become extremely successful in Europe. My only criticism is not having module-less and cobalt-free batteries.

Indeed, new brands need great warranties to gain customer trust. Have you seen the warranty on VinFast electric cars? 10 years!

Renault Twingo is also A segment in EU, is also EV and will be completely new by 2026 so another great alternative. And do not forget Dacia Spring.
