A colleague recently got a BYD Seagull and has been driving it for about a week. Here are his impressions:
1. Fast Acceleration: I think electric cars are generally quick. It depends on individual driving habits. I prefer a fast start and don't like following other cars. The official 0-50 km/h time is 4.9 seconds, which I've tested myself.
2. Spacious: I've been fishing in my friend's Black Cat, and the Seagull feels more spacious. I'm 181 cm tall, and this car has plenty of room. When I adjust the driver's seat to a comfortable position, there's still about a fist's width of space for my knees when I sit in the back.
3. Tech Features: Maybe it's because my previous car was a traditional fuel car, but electric cars seem very advanced. The Seagull's tech features are impressive compared to my old car. You can bind your phone as an NFC key, so your phone becomes your car key. You can lock/unlock the car and turn on the air conditioning remotely via an app. For instance, in the summer, you can turn on the air conditioning 15 minutes before leaving work. Voice control lets you use navigation, play music, and adjust the air conditioning while driving.
4. Low Cost: With high fuel prices, even an economical fuel car costs about 0.4-0.5 yuan per kilometer. My electric car's energy consumption is lower than 76% of the national average, and my electricity cost is only 0.07 yuan per kilometer. Maintenance costs are also lower, although insurance is a bit more expensive than for fuel cars.
