On March 12, a real-world spy photo of the BYD Seagull LiDAR version was exposed online. At the same time, BYD also released an official poster for the 2026 Seagull, showing that the range of the 2026 Seagull will increase to 505 kilometers, and the motor power will also see an increase. For reference, the current BYD Seagull is priced from 69,800 to 85,800 yuan.
In terms of exterior, judging from the exposed spy photos, the appearance of the BYD Seagull LiDAR version is basically consistent with the current model. The difference is that a LiDAR is equipped on the roof, and it is expected to be paired with the "God's Eye B" advanced driver assistance system, while the current Seagull only offers the "God's Eye C" intelligent driving assistance triple-camera version.
