JAKARTA BYD Indonesia continues to strengthen its existence in the electric vehicle market, including in the country by presenting various environmentally friendly models. One of the things that captures global attention is BYD Seagull, a tiny hatchback with a modern design and very affordable price.
This electric car was a hot topic of conversation because it is believed that it will launch in Indonesia soon. Speculation strengthened after the registration of the Motor Vehicle Selling Value (NJKB) for a model that is strongly suspected to be Seagull. In fact, one of the BYD dealer networks, namely BYD Arista Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), had uploaded information on the car's preorder.
However, is it true that BYD Seagull will soon pave the way in Indonesia?
Responding to the issue, the Head of Public & Government Relations of PT BYD Motor Indonesia, Luther Panjaitan, clarified. He said that the information was not part of the official launch strategy, but arose due to an internal misunderstanding.
"We deeply regret the upload because from the principal there has been no official announcement," explained Luther when met in Mandalika some time ago.
He added that the upload most likely arose due to a lack of internal coordination or campaigns that had not been approved by the principal. "We have given a warning, and as far as I know the upload has been revealed," he continued.

Seagull Specifications and Potential
In the Chinese market, BYD Seagull comes with two battery options: 30 kWh with a distance of about 305 km and 38 kWh which can reach up to 405 km based on CLTC cycles.
Even more astonishingly, this car is sold at a super affordable price, starting from 69,800 yuan or around Rp. 152 million. If it really comes to Indonesia, Seagull will become an entry-level BYD model and can be an attractive choice for consumers who want to switch to electric cars without having to spend too much.
Currently, BYD Indonesia has marketed five electric vehicle models, namely Dolphin, Atto 3, Seal, M6, and Sealion 7. Seagull's presence will certainly further strengthen the ranks of BYD products in the country as well as open wider access to a more economical market segment.
