BYD will grant an 8% discount on the list price of the base model of the Dolphin, reducing the price from R$ 149,800 to R$ 140,812.
Additionally, Banco Santander will offer discounts of 15%, 22%, or 26% on the financing rate, depending on the down payment amount chosen by the customer (zero down payment, 30%, or 50% of the car’s value).
