Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox automobile The BYD Dolphin (Шаблон:Zh) is a battery electric hatchback produced by the Chinese manufacturer BYD Auto since 2021.

Overview

During Auto Shanghai in April 2021, BYD presented a pre-production prototype of the Dolphin called BYD EA1 Concept, while also announcing a modernized design language and company logo. The company also introduced presented a new generation of electric car platform called the e-Platform 3.0, which offer more efficient performance and range.

The production model was presented three months later as the BYD Dolphin, and became available in August 2021. The Dolphin adopts BYD's Marine Aesthetics design language that is also used in other Ocean Series models, a one-box side silhouette devised by head of BYD design team Wolfgang Egger. The Dolphin was the first production model to feature the new BYD logo.

The interior of the Dolphin features a rotatable 12.8-inch infotainment screen, and a full 5-inch LCD instrument panel. It comes standard with the LFP blade battery in varying capacities.

The modified version destined for the global market was introduced in 2023. For most export markets, the Dolphin was lengthened by approximately Шаблон:Convert in order to accommodate a new front-end crash structure, which was designed to achieve a five-star Australian ANCAP safety rating. The global model received different front and rear bumpers, front hood and wing fenders that extended its overhang, which increased its length to Шаблон:Convert and placing it as a C-segment car.

On 22 September 2023, the 500,000th Dolphin rolled off the assembly line after 25 months in production.
