The BYD Dolphin is a new electric hatchback that is set to hit the market soon. With its attractive design and impressive range, it is poised to compete with some of the best smaller electric vehicles on the market.
Range & Performance
The Dolphin is powered by a 60 kWh lithium-ion phosphate battery with a WLTP range of 427 km. It has a front-mounted motor that delivers 201 bhp to the front wheels, enabling it to accelerate from 0-100 km/u in just 7.1 seconds. It has 11kW AC charging as standard and 100kW DC fast charging, which means the battery can be charged from 10-80% in just 29 minutes at a fast charger. The Dolphin also comes with a heat pump, ensuring that more of the vehicle's range is retained during the winter.
Design & Interior
The BYD Dolphin's design is sleek and modern, with a silhouette resembling the graceful lines of a leaping dolphin. It has a glossy black panel across the bonnet and there are no fake vents to be seen here. The side profile is sleek, with some sharp creases on the doors that add to its visual appeal. It comes with a massive 12.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system that can rotate at the touch of a button. The interior is quite spacious and the dash is swathed in soft-touch plastic and vegan leather. There is also a massive panoramic roof that helps make the cabin feel airy.
With its impressive range and sleek design, it is a car that is sure to turn heads on the road. The Dolphin is set to be available in Europe in June-July this year. We highly recommend the BYD Dolphin for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, eco-friendly and stylish electric vehicle.
