BYD Seagull Specs, Electric Power & Dimensions (from 2023) — First Generation
The first-generation BYD Seagull is a compact Mini 5-doors electric city car, built around a single-motor layout and a small battery. Here is what its powertrain and charging behaviour mean for everyday driving.
Every version is fully electric, so BYD Seagull horsepower comes from one front-mounted motor driving the front wheels. The drivetrain uses a single-speed automatic transmission, meaning no gear changes and instant response from a standstill. Examples include the AT 30 kWh and the AT 38 kWh.

BYD Seagull battery capacity differs between versions: the AT 30 kWh and AT 38 kWh both use lithium-ion packs, with the larger one suited to longer trips between charges. Both charge comfortably overnight at home, while public fast charging covers occasional intercity journeys.
