BYD’s most popular model, the Seagull electric hatchback, known as the Atto 1 in Australia, has finally received an upgrade in both looks and overall size, as it aims to enter new markets.
In Australia, the Atto 1 is a slightly longer car than China’s Seagull.
The Atto 1 is available in two variants, the base-level Essentials with a 30 kWh battery, as well as a top-spec Premium variant with a 43.2 kWh battery.
The small battery delivers around 220 km of WLTP range, while the larger 43.2 kWh battery pack comes with 310 km of WLTP range.
The new Seagull is likely a global model which would help position BYD’s smallest car to outsell the highly successful Geely EX2 in China and across other international markets.
