BYD is preparing the Great Seagull, also known as Da Haiou, for a China launch in 2026. Nepal pricing and availability have not been confirmed.

LiDAR-equipped cabin

A roof-mounted LiDAR sensor supports BYD’s God’s Eye B driver-assistance system. Depending on the version, buyers could get automated parking, traffic-light recognition, assisted lane changes and navigation assistance on city roads and highways.

Inside, BYD has used a large central touchscreen and a two-spoke steering wheel. A conventional instrument cluster is not included.

Motor and range

Power comes from a 95 kW (127 hp) electric motor. FinDreams LFP battery options are listed at 30 kWh and 39.2 kWh. Claimed CLTC range stands at 320–420 km, while top speed is 150 km/h.

The Great Seagull could give Nepal buyers a more spacious and technology-focused alternative to the standard Seagull if BYD eventually confirms a local introduction.
