On May 11th, Byd Company Limited's Ocean Network launched its fully refreshed "Smart Mainstream Commuter Car"—the 2026 Seagull. The new model offers four configuration options with an official guide price range of 69,900 to 85,900 yuan, featuring added specifications without a price increase! Among these, the 305km Free Edition and the 405km Flying Edition support an optional lidar package, with prices reaching 90,900 yuan and 97,900 yuan respectively after the upgrade. From today, purchasing customers can enjoy multiple limited-time offers including the Seagull Renewal Gift, Seagull Smart Connectivity Gift, and Seagull Worry-Free Gift.
The introduction of lidar into the A00-class segment marks a powerful opening for the second half of the intelligent driving era. In response to user expectations for more refined and intelligent commuter vehicles, the 2026 Seagull is upgraded with lidar, equipped with the DiPilot 300 advanced driving assistance system. This system features City Navigation Assist (CNOA), capable of autonomously handling traffic light recognition with real-time countdown display, full-scenario obstacle avoidance & courtesy yielding, game-theory-based navigation, and roundabout driving. When encountering traffic lights, the system can identify them and show a real-time countdown. In scenarios like road closures or detours, the vehicle can perform full-scenario avoidance and courtesy maneuvers. Even for the commonly challenging task of roundabout navigation, it can smoothly enter and select the correct exit. This suite of functions covers almost all daily road conditions from main urban arteries to back alleys, delivering a driving experience comparable to that of a seasoned driver. As the industry's first A00-class model to support lidar, the 2026 Seagull brings advanced driving assistance features, previously reserved for premium models, directly into its market segment. This not only represents another self-surpassing step for the Seagull in its "premium commuter car" positioning but also signifies its leadership in ushering the A00-class market into a new era of "democratized intelligent driving."
Furthermore, the intelligent cockpit of the 2026 Seagull undergoes a qualitative transformation, upgraded with the high-end DiLink 150 system. It features a 12.8-inch DiLink floating touchpad and a new UI interface, offering more intuitive information display and smoother operation. The deeply customized Amap navigation system provides more accurate route planning, infusing daily commutes with a sense of ritual and convenience.
Inheriting the safety DNA of the e-Platform 3.0, it constructs a comprehensive protective barrier. Regarding safety, the 2026 Seagull inherits the safety genes of Byd Company Limited's e-Platform 3.0, utilizing a dedicated high-strength body structure for pure electric vehicles along with high-safety Blade Battery technology. It is equipped with up to 6 airbags, forming a solid passive safety barrier. For active safety, the 2026 Seagull comes standard with a high-definition panoramic camera across all trims. The Free Edition and Flying Edition models are equipped with the DiPilot 300 system, enabling functions such as City Navigation Assist, Highway Navigation Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), and Driver Monitoring System (DMS). It can be said that the comprehensive safety package of the 2026 Seagull far exceeds traditional user expectations for a "commuter car." It is not only easy to drive, park, and use but also provides visible reassurance and invisible protection.
Comfort and quality see a cross-class advancement, with trendy new colors making their debut. A truly outstanding urban commuter vehicle must combine intelligent safety capabilities with comfortable driving experiences and the expression of personalized aesthetic needs. The 2026 Seagull significantly enhances its comfort features, adding a class-leading automatic air conditioning system that intelligently adjusts cabin temperature without frequent manual intervention. The front split-type headrest seats support 3-level adjustment, providing precise neck support for users of different heights. Four-way steering wheel adjustment and 6-way power adjustment for the driver's seat allow drivers of various builds to find their most comfortable driving posture. A 50W wireless phone charger enables convenient charging on the go, helping users completely eliminate battery anxiety. A four-speed adjustable dual wiper system efficiently clears rainwater, snow, dust, and debris from the windshield, maintaining clear driving visibility at all times. Numerous thoughtful design details are dedicated to making users' daily commutes more relaxed and enjoyable.
The exterior design receives a bold refresh, introducing two new body colors specifically for younger demographics: Mango Orange replicates the vibrant texture of summer fresh fruit, full of energy and vitality; Mint Green brings a fresh, atmospheric feel,清爽灵动, gentle and soothing. The interior adds an Oat Beige color option, inspired by the natural textures of beach breezes, offering a soft and治愈质感. From comfort configurations to the new color palette, the 2026 Seagull is comprehensively renewed inside and out, precisely matching the diverse aesthetics and daily commuting needs of young people, allowing even ordinary travel to carry its own atmosphere and distinctive style.
Since its initial launch in April 2023, the Seagull has continuously reshaped value perceptions in the A00-class market.
