Embracing the beauty of the ocean
Led by Wolfgang Egger BYD’s Global Design Director, the design of the BYD DOLPHIN is dynamic, distinguishable, futuristic, and embracing the beauty of the ocean.
The outline of the BYD DOLPHIN is round and shaped akin to a fast moving swimming dolphin.
Its interior is fresh, youthful, bold and striking, and the flowing lines are inspired by the motion of waves in the ocean.

The rotating touch screen
The 12.8” rotating touch screen serves as the centre of a connected universe, integrating voice assist, connected car functions and entertainment at your fingertips. -
Sustainable vegan leather seats
The integrated sports seats offer long-distance comfort as well as strong lateral support during cornering. These seats are made from sustainable synthetic leather, offering an eco-friendly solution without compromising on style. With multiple-way adjustment, you can customise your seat to your every need.
-
Comfortable rear passenger space
Due to the e-platform 3.0, the short front and rear overhangs and long wheelbase give the car a more spacious appearance, and the rear passenger compartment has a flat floor, giving middle seat passengers more comfort and space. -
More storage space
BYD DOLPHIN is designed with an abundance of practical and flexible storage spaces for daily travel, and the boot can easily store four standard 50cm suitcases.
There are numerous storage areas throughout the cabin, including large door pockets, a central covered storage cubby and a hollowed storage tray beneath the main driver information screen, which could meet your needs for daily travel.

Panoramic Glass Roof
The panoramic glass roof provides unparalleled ultra wide angle visibility allowing the light to flood into the spacious interior.
BYD Blade Battery
BYD has been a pioneer in battery technology for over two decades. Its revolutionary Blade Battery is born out of BYD’s relentless research and development and a major advancement for the Electric Vehicle industry.
The Blade Battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) which offers a higher level of safety, durability, longevity, and performance compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries. It is also 100 per cent free of cobalt, a material that raises ethical and environmental concerns in the mining industry.
BYD's latest game-changing Blade Battery has passed a series of extreme tests such as the Nail Penetration Test making it one of the world’s safest batteries.

-
Enhanced safety
The raw material, lithium iron phosphate has slow heat generation, low heat release, and non-oxygen release.
The unique flat rectangle shape also improves cooling efficiency and preheating performance. -
Nail Penetration Test
The Nail Penetration Test is the most rigorous way to test battery thermal runway and simulates the consequences of a serious road accident.
Its purpose is to simulate an internal short circuit of the battery, and the Blade Battery passed without emitting smoke orfire with surface temperature only reaching between 30 to 60 degrees Celsius.
-
Optimised strength
The aluminium honeycomb like structure greatly enhances rigidity in vertical direction and withstand force. -
Longer lifecycle
The Blade Battery has a long battery lifecycle with over 5,000 charge and discharge cycles.
e-Platform 3.0
The BYD DOLPHIN is equipped with the all-new BYD e-platform 3.0 designed exclusively for pure Electric Vehicles that promotes greater performance in safety, low temperature driving range, and improve intelligent driving safety experiences.

High efficiency heat pump as a standard
The high efficiency heat pump optimise efficiency and range in a broad range of temperatures and weather conditions.
This allows for the efficient regulation of the battery temperature via direct cooling and direct heating of the refrigerant, increasing thermal efficiency by up to 20 per cent while reducing energy loss.
The heat pump can withstand temperatures ranging from minus 30 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, and can increase the range by up to 20 per cent in winter conditions.
