BYD Dolphin Mini, Entry Model, Chinese Automaker, National Production in Camaçari (BA), Following Chinese Cycle.
The new BYD launch is set to arrive in Brazil, with an expected arrival in March. The model, known in China as Seagull, will be called BYD Dolphin Mini here and in other Latin American countries. This information was confirmed by Jorge Moraes in his column on the UOL portal, which released the launch schedule for the brand’s most affordable electric vehicle.
The BYD Dolphin Mini, based on the Ocean line and part of the family that includes the Dolphin and Seal models, will initially be imported from China to Brazil. However, there are plans for local production at the Camaçari (BA) factory, where the production of the Dolphin, Song Plus, and Yuan Plus models has already been confirmed. The expansion of production reinforces BYD’s commitment to the Brazilian and Latin American markets.

BYD: Sales Success with the Entry Model Dolphin Mini
A few days ago, at the end of November, BYD surprised the market by announcing that the small Seagull/Dolphin Mini reached the milestone of 200,000 units produced. This achievement is even more impressive considering that the electric entry-level car from the Chinese automaker reached this feat in just 7 months on the market, following its launch in April, which demonstrates its excellent acceptance.

The Dolphin Mini, which is BYD’s smallest model, measures 3.78 meters in length (exceeding a Renault Kwid by 10 cm), 1.71 meters in width, 1.54 meters in height, and has a wheelbase of 2.50 meters (3 cm less than a Hyundai HB20).
Equipped with an electric motor of 55 kW (74 hp) power and 13.7 kgfm of torque, powered by a Blade battery with a capacity of 30 kWh or 38.8 kWh, the Dolphin Mini has a range of 305 km or 405 km according to the Chinese Cycle, respectively. Finally, the top speed is 130 km/h.
The interior of the BYD Dolphin Mini features a modern layout with familiar elements from its larger sibling, the Dolphin, including a clean look with few buttons, as well as a fully digital instrument cluster and a 10.8′ (rotating) screen for the information and entertainment system.
Recently, BYD Colombia made a significant presentation by showcasing the entry-level electric car for the first time, already announcing the name Dolphin Mini, which will be used by the automaker throughout Latin America.
Despite the lack of confirmation from BYD regarding the battery option and range for the compact in Brazil, it is estimated that the initial price of the car will be around R$ 100,000, which will certainly boost the entry-level electric car segment, impacting models like Renault Kwid E-Tech and JAC e-JS1.

Finally, BYD has yet to confirm which battery option and range the compact will be sold with in Brazil, nor the equipment package. It is estimated that the initial price will be around R$ 100,000, which will further help boost the entry-level electric car segment, affecting models like Renault Kwid E-Tech and JAC e-JS1.
