BYD’s most affordable electric car hits the European market. It should be noted that its price positioning is particularly competitive and could seriously compete with many existing electric models.

A new electric sedan is setting the European car market on fire. The BYD Dolphin is here, and it’s ready to wreak havoc on MG, Renault and Peugeot. After the Atto 3, Han and Tang, the Dolphin storms into the arena, ready to make waves.
Not only is the Dolphin the smallest electric car in BYD’s lineup, it’s also the cheapest. Obviously, it is eligible for the ecological bonus (until it is reformed).
With a length of 4.29 meters and a trunk of 345 liters, the Dolphin intends to seduce its potential customers with the same arguments as the rest of its range: cutting-edge technology at a very attractive price. In front of it, we find competitors such as the Peugeot 2008 electric, just redesigned, the very popular MG4, the recent Smart #1 and the Mégane E-Tech.
