BYD unveils new electric city cars in China
In late October 2026, BYD launches an electric city car at around $9,900, presented as remaining stable after a tire blowout at 140 km/h. The second generation of the BYD Seagull, China's best-selling electric city car, goes from four to five seats. The BYD Dolphin Surf is presented in China with nine-minute flash charging and a very competitive price. In early November, BYD demonstrates the stability of the redesigned Seagull, sold from 65,900 yuan, after a front tire blowout at nearly 145 km/h, and a test compares the certified and real-world consumption of the Dolphin Surf.
