The Future of Electric Cars Has Arrived with a Bang! BYD, the Chinese giant in the industry, announces the launch of the Dolphin Mini 2025 for R$ 60,000, promising to shake up the competition with a range of 340 km.
The electric vehicle market continues to evolve, and BYD is at the forefront of this transformation. With the early arrival of the Dolphin Mini 2025, scheduled for August 8 in China, the automaker is betting on innovations to keep its model competitive.
According to information from the BMCNEWS portal published this Sunday (21), the new version features updates that, although subtle, are enough to distinguish the vehicle in an increasingly competitive market.

Innovations and Design of the BYD Dolphin Mini 2025
Although it is an entry-level version, the Dolphin Mini 2025 does not disappoint in terms of quality and innovation. According to BMCNEWS, the exterior design of the model remains true to the Seagull, the name with which it was initially launched in China.

The Toyota Hilux is R$ 75.5 thousand cheaper and bets on the 2.8 turbodiesel engine with up to 204 hp and 50.9 kgfm to catch up with the VW Saveiro, which leads with 4,472 sales.
-
The new Renault Koleos has a screen exclusively for the passenger that is invisible to the driver, heated rear seats, and 29 assistance systems, but its Chinese competitors cost R$ 40,000 less and deliver more power.

The car stored for 38 years: when opening the barn door, what appears is breathtaking and looks like a scene from a movie!

Fiat works miracles in the Brazilian market, lowers the price of its 0 km hatch to R$ 69,990, reestablishes the model as the cheapest car in the country, and reignites the battle against Kwid and C3.
Details such as flush door handles, darkened columns, and a rear spoiler continue to provide a modern and elegant look. The novelty lies in the updated BYD logo and the new wheel pattern designed to attract attention on the streets.
What’s New Inside?
Internally, the Dolphin Mini 2025 retains the well-known layout, but with additions that enhance passenger comfort. The updates include:
- Electric Driver’s Seat Adjustment: Present in the intermediate version, this feature offers greater convenience and personalization.
- Heated Front Seats: A pleasant addition for cold days, providing more comfort during trips.
- 360° Camera System: Enhancing the driving experience with a complete view of the vehicle’s surroundings.
These improvements reinforce BYD’s commitment to comfort and safety, elevating the driving experience to new heights.
Performance and Price of the BYD Dolphin Mini 2025
Regarding performance, the Dolphin Mini 2025 retains a 75 hp electric motor with a torque of 13.6 kgfm, providing adequate performance for urban use.
The LFP battery of 38.8 kWh provides a range of 280 km according to Inmetro standards, but can reach 340 km in real usage, a valued characteristic in the daily life of cities.
The price of the Dolphin Mini 2025 has seen a slight increase, ranging from 72,000 to 87,000 yuan, approximately R$ 60,000.
According to Folha de S.Paulo, this adjustment of about 2,200 yuan compared to the previous year seems to be a BYD strategy to consolidate its presence in the market without entering a price war.
With over 167,000 units sold in the first half of 2024, BYD shows that it has found a balance between quality and cost-effectiveness.

Não vejo a hora desse lançamento chegar aqui no Brasil com preço popular
Mas é claro que não! E vocês nem deveriam fazer um anúncio desses como se ele fosse custar 60mil Reais aqui pro consumidor final. Vocês sabem que ainda tem as taxas e os impostos! Esse é o valor que BYD deve receber pelo carro, mas o Brasil taxa tudo e a todos e com certeza vai passar dos 100mil e quando a reforma tributária for sancionada e entrar em vigor vai ser impossível um dia um automóvel zero km de qualquer montadora custar menos de 90mil Reais. Um valor completamente desproporcional a realidade do brasileiro! Mas quem precisa de carro né? Quando se tem ônibus, metro, trem, BRT, etc… Viva o transporte público! Nesse rumo vai ser um dia igual Cuba e a esquerda vai dizer que o Brasil preserva a história e a cultura com os designs antigos…
Se for esse preço só teremos no Brasil carro elétrico da BYD com toda certeza
