Some people say that the Ocean series is the product that BYD has really entered the pure electric era, but this statement does make some sense. Because all of BYD's previous products are actually based on the platform architecture of fuel models, products that are compatible with the needs of electric vehicles belong to the transitional form. And to the ocean series, BYD can really enter the field of pure electrification architecture, from the dolphin released last year, to the seal of the second product of the ocean system just pre-sold a few days ago, and then the third product of the ocean system, the seagull spy photo, was exposed. These three new cars are all from BYD e platform 3.0, let's take a look at these three models together.
The first one: BYD Dolphin
Official guidance price: 102,800 yuan - 130,800 yuan
AS THE FIRST MODEL OF BYD E PLATFORM 3.0, BYD Dolphin has a starting price of less than 100,000 yuan, and the mainstream configuration has been given, which has great sincerity and strength.
In terms of appearance, BYD Dolphin adopts BYD's latest "marine aesthetics" design language, which is more avant-garde and gridless design, which looks stylish and fresh. In terms of body size, bydir Dolphin is 4125/1770/1570mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2700mm, which brings a lot of space in the car than the same level of fuel vehicles.
In terms of power endurance, BYD Dolphin is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum power of 130 kilowatts, a peak torque of 290 Nm, and three endurance versions of 301 km, 401 km and 405 km, which can be said to be a very competitive model among the 100,000 class pure electric models.
The second paragraph: BYD seals
Pre-price: 212,800 yuan - 289,800 yuan
On May 20, BYD's new pure electric medium-sized car SEAL officially opened pre-sale, the new car pre-priced at 212,800-289,800 yuan, it is worth mentioning that the new car is also BYD's first model using battery body integration technology (CTB).
In terms of appearance, unlike the Dragon Face design language of the previous BYD Dynasty series, the new car adopts a new marine aesthetic design concept, which is more youthful in appearance, sporty and low, and the Model 3 is the same style, and the drag coefficient is as low as 0.219cd.
From the side, the combat posture of the whole vehicle is very prominent, and the design of the slippery back is adopted, which makes the whole vehicle have a strong jumping trend. The small tail wing with a tail similar to a duck's tail further enhances the sporty attributes of the whole car, and the new car has a length, width and height of 4800/1875/1460mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm.
In terms of power, BYD SEALs offer three power combinations to choose from, including two rear-drive versions and a four-wheel drive version of the power layout. The maximum power of the two rear-drive versions is 150kW single motor and 230kW single motor, and the maximum power of the four-wheel drive version motor is 390kW (front: 160kW, rear: 230kW), and the zero hundred acceleration time is only 3.8 seconds.
The third paragraph: BYD seagull
Time to market: Q4
At the same time that BYD seals opened pre-sale, another new car of the ocean family also quietly surfaced, it is the "seagull", and the new car will also be based on BYD e platform 3.0. From the spy photo, the new car looks small and cute, the size is obviously one size smaller than the dolphin, and the positioning is lower than the "dolphin", which is an A00-level micro electric vehicle.
Although the whole car is covered with camouflage stickers, it is not difficult to see that the new car will adopt a similar front shape to THE BYD Dolphin, that is, it will use the concept of "marine aesthetics" to design the vehicle, and adopt a four-door layout, focusing on urban transportation.

There is no doubt that in the future, the listing of "Seagull" may have a significant impact on the sales of mini-cars such as Wuling Hongguang MINI EV. More importantly, with the listing of these new cars, BYD's marine product line will become more and more abundant, which will not only further enhance the competitiveness of BYD products, provide consumers with more choices, but also further enhance the market share and sales of its brand, which is bound to further consolidate BYD's position as a leader in leading the development of new energy vehicles and the upward pace of Chinese auto brands.
