BYD Seagull’s $10,000 EV survives high-speed tire blowout at nearly 90 mph — watch the stabilization system in action

BYD has updated its most affordable electric vehicle, the Seagull, with a new high-speed tire blowout stabilization system. Priced from around $10,000 in China, the Seagull is already one of the cheapest EVs on the market, and the addition of this safety feature could make it even more appealing to budget-conscious buyers. In a recent test, the system was demonstrated at nearly 90 mph, showing how the car maintains control after a sudden tire failure. This technology, typically found in more expensive vehicles, is a significant step for affordable EV safety. For urban commuters and first-time EV buyers, the Seagull’s low price and enhanced stability could set a new benchmark in the segment. As BYD continues to expand globally, innovations like this may pressure rivals to offer similar safety features in entry-level models. The Seagull is proving that safety doesn’t have to be sacrificed for affordability.
