In a scenario where electric mobility is gaining more and more prominence, BYD launches the updated version of the Dolphin Mini, now with capacity for five passengers.
The Chinese hatch, which was already the best-selling electric vehicle in Brazil, promises to further revolutionize the market with this new feature. Discover everything about this launch that is shaking up the Brazilian automotive sector!
An Expected Launch and the New Price
Launched in February this year, the BYD Dolphin Mini quickly became a sales success, even with its four-seater version.
According to information from the Mobiauto website, the Chinese manufacturer had already signaled the arrival of a version for five passengers by mid-2024. And the wait is over: the new model hits the market with a price revealed by the aforementioned portal: R$119.800.
The price difference between the two versions is relatively small. The four-seater model sells for R$115.800, making the new version just R$4 more expensive.
This small difference could lead to a reassessment of the continuity of the four-seater version in Brazil, depending on market demand.
BYD Dolphin Mini Features and Dimensions
The BYD Dolphin Mini stands out as the Chinese manufacturer's most affordable car available in Brazil. With a compact design, the hatch measures 3,80 meters long, 1,70 meters wide and has a wheelbase of 2,50 meters. The trunk has a capacity of 230 liters, keeping its dimensions unchanged even with approval for five seats.
Engine and Performance
The Dolphin Mini's engine also remains the same, ensuring performance and efficiency. Equipped with a front electric motor with 75 hp and 13,8 kgfm of torque, the vehicle has a one-speed automatic transmission. The 38 kWh battery provides a range of up to 280 km, according to Inmetro tests.
Equipment and Technology
The BYD Dolphin Mini is well equipped for its segment. Standard items include a 7-inch digital instrument panel and a 10,1-inch multimedia center with a rotating screen.
Access to the vehicle is facilitated by a key and push-button start. Other highlights include LED headlights with automatic lighting, six airbags, reverse camera and sensor, speed controller, 16-inch alloy wheels and four driving modes.
