BYD Seagull (Philippines)

The BYD Seagull (Philippines) is a five-door electric hatchback from BYD, sold in the Philippines by ACMobility. It was BYD’s sixth model in the country and its cheapest EV at launch. A single motor drives the front wheels, producing 55 kW (74 hp) and 135 Nm. It rides on BYD’s e-Platform 3.0 and measures 3,780 mm long and 1,715 mm wide, with a 2,500 mm wheelbase. It launched in a single variant, the GLX.

The local car has a roughly 30 kWh BYD Blade (LFP) battery and a claimed range of about 300 km. The sources don’t name the test cycle, so read that as BYD’s own figure, not WLTP or EPA. Usable capacity isn’t published either. Peak charging is 6.6 kW on AC and 30 kW on DC. A 30–80% DC top-up takes about 30 minutes, and 0–100% on AC takes about 5 hours. A portable charger and a 7 kW wall box come with the car. In China, BYD has launched a 2026 Seagull with a 38.88 kWh battery rated at 405 km and an optional LiDAR driver-assistance package. I found no confirmation that it is on sale here, so don’t apply those numbers to Philippine units.

The launch price was ₱898,000, billed as introductory. I couldn’t find a regular price after that period, and 2026 listings still show the same figure. In China the 2026 base model costs 69,900 yuan, about US$10,300. It makes the most sense as a first EV for city driving, for someone who can charge at home and covers short daily distances. Inside BYD’s lineup it sits below the Dolphin at ₱1.398 million and below the Atto 2, which BYD Philippines has opened reservations for. I didn’t find a local Atto 2 price. Among other brands, the Wuling Bingo (203 km variant) costs ₱863,000 and the Changan Lumin runs ₱699,000 to ₱799,000. The closest match is the Geely EX2 Pro at ₱938,000. It has a 39.4 kWh battery, a claimed 325 km on the WLTP cycle and 113 hp. That is ₱40,000 more than the Seagull, for a bigger battery and a stated test cycle.
