At the Shanghai auto show this week, the largest crowds can be found around an unassuming, bright yellow hatchback parked at the booth of China's largest electric carmaker BYD .
People use their phones in front of the BYD Seagull that is displayed at the Auto Shanghai show, in Shanghai, China April 19, 2023.
"It’s my kind of car, it’s suitable for driving to and from work, and you don’t need to manage anything, just use the battery ... it's also a relatively low cost product," said Fan Yuhong, 28, a visitor to the fair who works in advertising and was among those at the booth. The car is available in two range versions from 305 to 405 kilometres , with a fast charging system that will allow it to ramp up from 30% to 80% charge within 30 minutes, according to BYD. It will run on a lithium iron phosphate BYD Blade battery.
Bill Russo, the Shanghai-based founder and CEO of strategic advisory firm Automobility, predicts the Seagull will become the best selling car in China within six months of its launch.In recent years, the rise of Chinese automakers has remade the competitive landscape of the world's largest auto market, and those companies, including BYD, are now readying to take their cut-throat domestic prices global by increasing exports.
