I'm skeptical. You can’t do that price point; big automakers have too much overhead. They'll probably target slightly higher segments.

I think this might encourage them to make more affordable options, but we won't see anything quite as cheap as the Seagull from the big brands.

The real impact will likely come in the form of forcing other manufacturers to justify their higher prices. To compete, they'll have to provide clear advantages.

I believe the market will split. Luxury brands will concentrate on premium features and performance and budget brands will try to compete with BYD.

It's not just about price. BYD has found a way to streamline production and bring down costs, so other manufacturers have to figure out how to do the same.

The success of the Seagull could force innovation to come from some unexpected places. We may see other brands bring more stripped down, basic EVs for urban use.

And it's definitely inspired by the Bronco, but I don't think it's a straight rip off. It is similar in overall shape but Mahindra has put their own flair on it.

It's almost a clone, come on. Instead of copying others, Mahindra should design better.

I actually like it. It looks like the Bronco, but that’s not a bad thing. It's a good looking design and does work for an off roader.

There are only so many ways to design a boxy SUV. Who cares if it looks a bit like a Bronco, as long as it performs well.

I fear this could possibly get Mahindra into trouble with the law. Anyone remember the Roxor controversy with Jeep? They are too original.

But it's more than just the Bronco, it has bits of the Defender and the Wrangler too. They’re like they took all the best bits of iconic off roaders and mashed them together.

I think it's smart marketing. It needs to be familiar to a global audience, but with some Mahindra DNA. This will allow them to go international.

I’m frightened they’re economising prematurely on the products and features, in the race to restrict costs.

That’s a good starting point but they need premium options as well for brand image.

Smart move. Start out with budget EVs to get people used to them and then move on to the fancier ones.

Even if it costs more, they should focus on making a really good EV. Quality matters.

Cheap is not always affordable. If they can get the core right, it could work.
