Fully agree that the front & (lack of) rear wipers needs urgent fixing. On any British motorway in winter, so much crap gets thrown up by passing HGVs that you ABSOLUTELY need good wipers or the car will quickly become dangerous to drive. My little Suzuki Celerio, which has similar dimensions to the Seagull, has two front & one rear wiper so it can be done at a tiny add-on cost. And while we're talking visibility, don't forget to put some shading between the two sunvisors (ie where the rear view mirror is). At this time of year, the sun is really low in the sky & can blind you if you're pointing in the wrong direction. Other than that, if BYD bring the Seagull to the UK and don't, like so many EV suppliers, try to gouge the price, then I'm definitely going to get one.

Tata scores high on crash safety ratings, handling and ride quality. Currently Punch EV top model costs 16 lakhs rupees on road. However, the usable real world range is only 250 km. If only Seagull delivers real world range of 300km at similar price, it can be a decisive winner.
