Chronology
PredecessorBYD e1

The BYD Seagull (Chinese: 比亚迪海鸥; pinyin: Bǐyǎdí Hǎi'ōu) is a battery electric city car manufactured by BYD Auto since 2023. Positioned below the Dolphin within BYD's line-up, it is currently the smallest BYD vehicle, occupying the A00-class in Chinese segmentation (equivalent to European A-segment). It is part of the Ocean Series product line and marketed in China through Ocean Network-branded dealerships and stores.

The car was made available in some Latin American markets in 2024 as the BYD Dolphin Mini, and in Europe as the BYD Dolphin Surf in 2025.
