Meet the BYD Dolphin Mini, the electric car from BYD that has come to revolutionize the market with its innovative proposals and accessible maintenance, but with exceptions in the warranty
According to the website Auto Esporte, the highly anticipated launch of the BYD Dolphin Mini is about to shake up the Brazilian automotive market. Expected to launch at the end of February, the electric car will arrive with a competitive and innovative proposal, offering maintenance every 20,000 km at more accessible prices than combustion cars. However, there are warranty exceptions that consumers must pay attention to.
The BYD Dolphin Mini electric car will have a maintenance plan with fixed prices for its services, being one per year or every 20,000 km, whichever comes first. The costs for the electric car range between R$ 370 and R$ 1,000, resulting in a total of R$ 6,850 after 200,000 km. These values are lower compared to the maintenance costs for combustion models, such as the Chevrolet Onix, Hyundai HB20, and Volkswagen Polo.
Understand the Maintenance of BYD’s Electric Car and Its Warranty
During the odd-numbered maintenance, which is cheaper, BYD checks several essential items for the electric car, such as brakes, suspension, alignment, among others. In the even-numbered maintenance, mandatory replacements are carried out, such as transmission fluid and brake fluid. Additionally, engine coolant changes are recommended every 100,000 km or four years.

The warranty for the BYD Dolphin Mini has not been officially announced yet, but based on other electric models from the brand, it is expected to be five years or 500,000 km for private use vehicles, including the motor, and eight years for the batteries. For commercial use, the warranty is reduced to two years or 100,000 km for the electric car and five years or 150,000 km for the batteries, with some exceptions for specific items.
Launch and Standard Features
The BYD Dolphin Mini will be launched next Wednesday (28), in a single trim level, with four seats, priced at approximately R$ 99,800. The electric car model will feature a 75 hp electric motor, blade batteries with a capacity of 38.9 kWh, and various standard items, such as six airbags, LED headlights and taillights, electric steering, and a multimedia center, among others, making it an attractive option in the compact electric car market.
