The BYD Dolphin is an electric subcompact hatchback produced by the Chinese manufacturer BYD since 2021.
Overview
During Auto Shanghai in April 2021, BYD presented a new generation of the platform dedicated to electric cars under the name e-Platform 3.0, which thanks to better weight distribution is to offer more efficient performance and range.[5] At the same time, the Chinese manufacturer presented a pre-production prototype of the new city hatchback called BYD EA1 Concept, announcing not only a new range of electric cars, but also a modernized stylistic language and company logo.[5]
The production model was presented three months later under the name BYD Dolphin. The car extensively recreated the look of a prototype, with a one-box silhouette and sharp shapes for a new generation of BYD car looks by design team head Wolfgang Egger.[5] As announced, the car was the first production model to bear the new BYD brand logo.[6]
In February 2022, BYD's Australian distributor announced plans to sell the Dolphin in Australia with a target price of AUD$35,000-$40,000 and a focus on ride-share operators.[7]
