With its very reasonable price, cool design and lots of standard features, the European Seagull should be a hit in Europe where it just debuted.

Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD's low-cost Dolphin Surf became its 10th model available in Europe on Wednesday, with the Berlin launch increasing pressure on European rivals to produce more affordable alternatives.

In essence, BYD Dolphin Surf EV is a slightly redesigned, slightly larger and better-equipped version of the affordable Seagull EV.
