Where Fluidity Meets Function
The Dolphin’s “Ocean Aesthetics” philosophy translates into organic, flowing lines that mimic marine creatures. The front fascia features a smiling LED light bar connecting “Dolphin Eye” headlights, while a floating roof and two-tone palette inject youthful vibrancy. Despite a compact footprint (4,150 mm long), its 2,700 mm wheelbase rivals sedans—enabling remarkable interior space efficiency. Aerodynamic touches like finned alloy wheels reduce drag, and the geometric full-width taillights leave a memorable afterglow.
Efficiency Unleashed
The 2025 upgrades focus on real-world usability:
Battery & Motor: Standard models pack a 44.9 kWh LFP Blade Battery with a 70 kW motor (180 N·m); the Knight edition leaps to 60.48 kWh and a 150 kW beast (310 N·m), rivaling hot hatches.
Efficiency: The industry-first 8-in-1 electric drive (89% system efficiency) and wide-temperature heat pump ensure a frugal 10.5 kWh/100 km consumption.
Charging: A 30-minute DC fast charge (30-80%) and V2L (vehicle-to-load) capability turn the Dolphin into a mobile power station.
Space and Tech in Harmony
Ergonomics: A symmetrical dashboard flows like ocean waves, centered on a rotating 12.8-inch touchscreen. The easy-going dial interface replaces cluttered buttons.
Cabin Flexibility: Rear passengers enjoy 850 mm legroom—comparable to midsize sedans—thanks to the flat floor2. The 345 L trunk expands to 1,310 L via 60/40 split-folding seats, swallowing suitcases or camping gear.
Comfort Tech: Ventilated/heated seats, 50W wireless charging, and dual-zone voice recognition (no wake word needed) exemplify user-centric thinking.
Confidence, Refined
DiPilot Assist: The “Eye of God C” system (Knight trim) enables L2 autonomy with ACC and lane centering, though highway steering interventions can feel abrupt.
Structural Integrity: Euro NCAP 5-star rating (89% adult protection) validates its CTB (Cell-to-Body) technology and 6 airbags. Features like rear-seat reminder and anti-misacceleration prove BYD’s attention to detail.
Innovations
Blade Battery Safety: LFP cells pass nail penetration tests without fire risk, backed by 8-year/160,000 km warranty.
VTOL (Vehicle-to-Load): Power appliances up to 3.3 kW—ideal for picnics or emergencies.
Winter Warrior: The heat pump curbs range loss by 20% in -30°C vs. conventional heaters.
Verdict: The Electric Sweet Spot
The 2025 BYD Dolphin masterfully balances range ambition, practical brilliance, and emotional design. For urbanites, the ¥113,800 Fashion trim (420 km range + ventilated seats) strikes the ideal balance; thrill-seekers will adore the Knight edition’s 520 km range and 150 kW punch. As one owner mused: “It’s not just about getting there—it’s about the joy in between.” In a market cluttered with compromises, the Dolphin swims above the rest—a testament to BYD’s vision of accessible, uncompromised electromobility.
