BYD Korea officially unveiled its small electric hatchback "BYD Dolphin" targeting the urban electric vehicle market on the 5th, and began to tap into the Korean market in earnest.

With efficient packaging and reasonable prices, the model targeted first-time EV buyers, commuting demand, and customers who prefer downsizing.

The design is a modern reinterpretation of the dolphin's curve reflecting BYD's "Aesthetics of the Sea" philosophy, and it is designed based on e-Platform 3.0, a platform dedicated to electric vehicles, and is a 5,700mm hatchet bag even though it is a small car. The loading space can also be extended up to 1,310 liters when the rear seat is folded. The product line operates in two trims: the basic "Dolphin" and the high-performance "Dolphin Active," and in particular, the Dolphin Active reaches 100km/h in 7 seconds from standstill with a maximum power of 150kW (about 204 horsepower).

The battery is equipped with BYD's core technology "Blade Battery," which has been verified for safety and efficiency, and can achieve a 354km certified driving distance by the Ministry of Environment based on active trim and can be charged up to 80% with fast charging of around 30 minutes. Inside, a large number of convenience specifications preferred by Korean consumers such as a 10.1-inch rotary display and T-map navigation, wireless phone connectivity, V2L, and panoramic glass roof have been applied.

In terms of safety, the acquisition of Euro NCAP 5-Star, seven airbags, and the basic installation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have increased trust. The price is set at 24.5 million won for Dolphin and 29.2 million won for Dolphin Active based on tax benefits and non-subsidization of subsidies, which significantly lowers barriers to entry into electric vehicles. BYD Dolphin will go on sale on Feb. 11, starting with test drives at exhibition halls nationwide, and active trim will be delivered to customers sequentially from March.
