It had been awhile since I attended a car launch but the recent unveiling of the BYD Seagull in Seashell Pink had me a bit curious.

BYD Cars Philippines, a subsidiary of ACMobility, recently introduced the limited-edition Seashell Pink Seagull, as it expressed a healthful twist to its best-selling all-electric hatchback. It is now a cool pink colorway with a cause.

“This presentation is powered by innovation,” said Adam Hu, BYD Philippines country head. “The Seagull’s global success proves that innovation doesn’t have to be out of reach. With this special edition, we’re bringing that same energy to a cause that resonates deeply with Filipino communities.”

Need it most

BYD has partnered with AC Health’s Healthway Cancer Care Hospital, the country’s first dedicated cancer care facility. This special edition is part of a larger initiative supporting cancer awareness and care in the Philippines.

“This initiative proves that innovation in mobility can lead to measurable change in healthcare,” said Jimmy Ysmael, president and CEO of Healthway Medical Network.“The BYD Seagull represents a commitment to driving change for Filipino cancer patients. Each purchase of this special edition will directly support the Healthway Foundation Cancer Care Hero Fund, helping us make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.”

Adding even more value to every purchase, each Seashell Pink Seagull also comes with exclusive wellness benefits from AC Health. These include P5,000 off HealthCheQ Premium and Premium Plus wellness packages, 10 percent off vaccinations at Healthway VaxHub and 10 percent discounts on women’s cancer screening services such as breast ultrasound, mammogram, pap smear and HPV DNA testing. To round it out, each vehicle includes a co-branded pink golf umbrella and a Cancer Care pledge sticker — simple but powerful reminders of the advocacy behind every drive.

Yes, Seashell Pink is a colorway

While the launch was ongoing, I heard that the BYD is the fastest-selling electric hatchback these days. And now it has a fresh new color that makes a statement.

The BYD Seagull is powered by a 30-kWh BYD Blade Battery. It offers a range of up to 300 kilometers, DC fast-charging capability and Vehicle-to-Load or V2L capabilities.

A 10.1-inch rotating touchscreen infotainment display provides an intuitive interface all within a clean, minimalist cabin.

Priced at P958,000, it offers a smart blend of functionality and style, particularly for younger, style-conscious and first-time EV buyers.

“The Seagull has always delivered on practicality and ease of use. This limited-edition Seashell Pink model adds a personal touch for younger drivers and offers a chance to support something meaningful,” said Bob Palanca, managing director of BYD Cars Philippines.

And since the BYD’s 27 months on the market, it has sold over one million units worldwide, making it the fastest-selling pure electric hatchback in the world. Its rapid success reflects a rising global demand for accessible, dependable EVs that fit seamlessly into everyday life.

In the Philippines, this Limited Edition Seashell Pink variant builds on that momentum with a distinctly local expression — pairing style and smart tech with a meaningful initiative designed to give back to Filipino communities.

Can’t wait for the test drive.

Make mine pink, please.
