New BYD Seagull launches in China: guide prices versus trade-in offers
Launch reports put guide prices at RMB 65,900–99,900; lower conditional trade-in figures should not be confused with the standard price.
Media-based report · see original reporting below
Key points
- Reported China guide prices are RMB 65,900–99,900.
- CnEVPost lists conditional trade-in prices of RMB 62,900–96,900.
- Flash charging is reported for selected versions, not the entire range.
Reported details
BYD launched its second-generation Seagull in China on 20 October 2026, according to Sina Auto and CnEVPost. Both reports give a guide-price range of RMB 65,900–99,900.
CnEVPost separately reports trade-in prices of RMB 62,900–96,900 for eligible buyers. Those figures are conditional offers, not an unconditional replacement for the guide prices.
Launch coverage also describes five seats and flash charging on selected higher-spec versions. A base-price headline should not imply that every version has the same battery or charging equipment.
Editorial interpretation
For buyers, compare an exact version and the conditions attached to any discount. Charging claims also need the relevant compatible station and operating conditions; this report is not an independent charging test.
This is a China-market launch. It does not establish an overseas launch date, local price or matching export specification. Confirm local ordering and warranty terms before using these figures for an overseas purchase.
What it means
Media-attributed launch information dated 20 October. Sina and CnEVPost cover the same announcement, not independent vehicle testing. The photograph comes from BYD’s official model materials.
