With the increase of new production capacity and the continuous launch of new models, BYD is dominating the domestic new energy vehicle market at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the dolphin brought to you today can be a very pioneering product for BYD. As the first model of the Ocean family, it has achieved a new frontier outside the Dynasty series. In the September sales just announced, Dolphin won the first place in the list with 24,855 units, let's see how strong it is.
As a product of the new marine aesthetics, the Dolphin incorporates more dolphin-related shapes and dynamic elements in the body design. The front part of the car adopts a clam shell hood shape and is equipped with a color scheme different from that of the body, and the black closed center mesh blends with the headlights on both sides and is equipped with U-shaped light strips as a match.
Thanks to the e-Platform 3.0 architecture, the Dolphin has a very short front and rear overhang from the side, a shorter front end and roof surface in the same color scheme, blacked-out pillars that bring a suspension effect, and a folding line from the front wheel brow that gradually rises and extends to the taillights, giving it a swooping stance with a great sense of speed, and a reverse skirt line under the doors, with sharp angles inspired by the dolphin's leap. The sharp angles are inspired by the leap of dolphins, and the skirt also introduces a rhythmical line similar to the waves.
The side waistline wraps around the rear of the car along the upper edge of the taillights, and the interior of the light cluster adopts a cross-winding LED strip shape, which looks more like the jumping gesture of a dolphin on the surface of the sea when lit, and the English nameplate in the middle can further enhance recognition.
The marine elements that fill the exterior are also used inside the car, unlike the Dynasty series Dragon Face design style makes the car have a stronger sense of jump, The center console uses different color schemes and rhythmic lines to match, with a more complex overall countertop shape. The central panel is inspired by the ripples of the waves, with a soft-touch material cladding to create a fresh and comfortable interior atmosphere, and the air vents are designed in a nesting round shape with eye-catching color schemes on the outer rim.
In addition to the Vibrant Edition with a 10.1-inch center screen, the rest of the models are equipped with a 12.8-inch center screen, and the adaptive rotating and levitating pad design gives the car a correspondingly higher sense of technology, and the latest built-in DiLink Smart Link car computer is very close to the cell phone in terms of operation, with simple modular icon buttons for users to quickly get started, while the richer Car-Link ecology can also meet users' needs for more online services. Users can also remotely connect to the vehicle through the APP to check the status in real time, and remote control functions are also available.
According to the small differences in component cladding, each version of the Dolphin differs slightly in length, and the Knight Edition, for example, has a body size of 4150*1770*1570mm and a wheelbase of 2700mm, Although the Dolphin is positioned as a small car, the wheelbase performance is comparable to some compact models, which can bring better performance in the back row. The measured knee of 175cm passenger has 2 fist distance from the front side seat, while the top of the head still has 2 finger margin.
The volume of the trunk can be increased by flattening the rear seats, the regular state can accommodate two 24-inch suitcases and multiple backpacks, while the flattened seats can have a maximum loading capacity of 1310L, the overall loading capacity than some compact models are more substantial, The design of the interior storage space is more sophisticated, while the volume is also relatively substantial, and the design of the cup holder and cell phone placement box also makes great use of the stylistic features of the countertop.
BYD Dolphin provides 70kW (95Ps) and 130kW (177Ps) two versions of single motor, corresponding to 180N-m and 290N-m torque settings, the overall output of power to maintain the quiet and smooth electric car should be, after stepping on the accelerator pedal, there is no hesitation in the dynamic response to make the whole car also more light and fast to drive, the top Knight Edition higher power performance but will make some people feel overpowered, the battery capacity of different collocation also brings consumers 301km/405km/401km of three range options.
The combination of McPherson and longitudinal arm torsion beam suspension is still tuned to focus on comfort settings. When facing daily bumps and potholes, the soft filtering performance can easily dissolve the excess vibration on the road, and the lower cell layout brings a lower center of gravity to the body, which also provides a better sense of grounding at high speeds.
Write at the end
As the first pure electric model of the Ocean family, the BYD Dolphin has an exterior shape and interior that highlight the ocean aesthetics, allowing consumers to feel a unique aesthetic that is different from the Dynasty series, and the light and flexible driving experience also caters to the needs of urban mobility.
