比亚迪周三发布了五款低配版本的海鸥，电动车巨头比亚迪正努力加宽自己在国内新能源车市场的护城河。请看本报周四的报道：

BYD Co. on Wednesday launched five lower-priced versions of its Seal sedan, as the Shenzhen-based electric vehicle (EV) giant seeks to extend its lead in the world’s largest market for new-energy cars.

The price of the rear-wheel drive Seal Champion Edition with a 550 kilometer driving range per charge starts at 189,800 yuan (US$27,459), 10% lower than a previous version with the same driving range, BYD’s website showed.

That is also 18% cheaper than the rear-wheel drive version of Tesla Inc.’s Model 3 in China with a driving range of 556 kilometers, against which the Seal model seeks to compete.

报道中的rear-wheel drive就是“后轮驱动”，除了这种形式，车还有前轮驱动(front-wheel drive), 四轮驱动(four-wheel drive)和全轮驱动(all-wheel drive)。
