As an annual facelift model, the 2025 BYD Seagull has subtle changes in styling, and some trims have added new configurations such as electric adjustment of the front seats.
The new car is available in four exterior colors: Arctic Blue, Warm Sun White, Polar Night Black, and Peach Pink; as well as two interior colors: Deep Ocean Blue and Dune Pink.
The 2025 BYD Seagull adopts the BYD e-Platform 3.0 with a length, width, and height of 3780/1715/1540 mm, and the wheelbase is 2500 mm, which is consistent with the previous version (see spec here).
For the exterior, most noticeably, in the rear, the “BUILD YOUR DREAMS” logo has changed to just “BYD”. The front design remains unchanged.
The Vitality Edition runs on 15-inch rims (left) while the other two Editions run on new 16-inch aluminum alloy rims (right).
The interior also continues the design of the previous version, featuring a 7-inch floating instrument panel and a 10.1-inch rotatable central control screen, paired with the BYD DiLink platform. The Freedom Edition and Flying Edition are equipped with a mobile phone wireless charging panel and support front seat heating as well as six-way electric adjustment of the driver seat.
Other standard configurations include OTA updates, four speakers, Bluetooth, voice interaction, in-car WiFi, 4G network, and keyless entry.
Power continues to come from a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 55 kW (74 hp) and a peak torque of 135 Nm, paired with the BYD Blade battery. The Vitality and Freedom Editions are equipped with a 30.08 kWh battery pack, providing a CLTC range of 305 km; the Flying Edition is equipped with a 38.88 kWh battery pack, providing a CLTC range of 405 km. The 0 – 50 km/h acceleration time is 4.9 seconds across the entire series. Under DC fast charging, it takes 30 minutes at room temperature to replenish the battery from 30% to 80%.
In the first half of 2024, BYD Seagull sold 191,037 vehicles.
