New Chinese Car Arrives in the Brazilian Market and Sells Up to 25 Times More Than the Renault Kwid. This Is the BYD Dolphin, Best-Seller in the Electric Market.

The Brazilian automotive industry welcomes a new competitor that promises to revolutionize the electric vehicle segment in the country. Surpassing sales expectations compared to the popular Renault Kwid E-Tech, this newcomer is rapidly establishing itself as a serious threat not only to Renault’s model but also to other already-established electric vehicles in the market, such as the JAC e-JS1 and the Caoa Chery iCar. Discover more about this new electric car from BYD that is changing the game and capturing the attention of Brazilian consumers.

This refers to the immense success that the famous BYD Dolphin has generated in the market, with China’s new electric compacts coming and the GWM Ora 03 on its way; even the French, who also import the Renault Kwid from there, are facing some difficulties.

Sales Difference Between the Renault Kwid and the Chinese Electric Car

In light of this, the new Dolphin car arrived in July 2023 and, even so, is already the best-selling electric car in Brazil in 2023, with 2,870 registrations, almost ten times more than the 276 E-Kwids sold over twelve months. However, in October, the surge was even greater, with the BYD Dolphin electric car reaching 1,366 registrations, selling 25 times more than the 55 Kwid E-Tech.

Thus, it is easy to speculate that the problem with the Kwid E-Tech really lies in its cost-benefit ratio. It remains to be seen how much Renault will have to charge for its entry-level electric car to perform better in the national market, according to data. It is worth noting that currently, consumers can buy the Chinese model from BYD starting at R$ 149,800.

BYD Is Not Playing Around

After the Dolphin, BYD is already working on launching its new cheap electric car Seagull in Brazil, which is expected to happen in the first months of next year. The subcompact is a novelty even for the Chinese market and will arrive in Brazil costing less than the Dolphin listed at R$ 150 thousand.

The estimate is that this will be the cheapest electric car in Brazil, priced between R$ 110 thousand and R$ 130 thousand. The Seagull is a subcompact measuring 3.78 meters in length and 1.71 m in width. However, its axles are at the ends of the bodywork, with a very short front and rear overhang.

This configuration favors the wheelbase, which opens up 2.5 m for internal space and is a great ally in the car’s dynamic behavior, in addition to facilitating the designers’ work in balancing the proportions of the body.

In terms of style, the headlights resemble those of Lamborghini, with wedge cuts. In China, the version of the electric car with a larger battery runs up to 405 km considering the country’s cycle, with a maximum speed of 130 km/h.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

One of the most promising solar technologies in the world has just made a leap in China: researchers combined perovskite and silicon to convert 33% of light into energy and, most importantly, made the cell last, maintaining 90% of the yield after a thousand hours of continuous operation.

Without a windshield, without license plates, without headlights, and with the door tied with a rope, a truck was seized by the PRF on BR-316 using a drum as a fuel tank inside the cabin while transporting firewood in Pernambuco, and even the driver didn’t have a driver’s license.

From a block of ice about six million years old extracted in Antarctica, scientists managed to capture bubbles with the oldest air ever recovered on Earth.

Chinese ship crosses oceans and unloads more than 800 tons of highly specialized machinery on Brazilian soil, marking the beginning of the foundations for the mega bridge Salvador-Itaparica, which will span the Bay of All Saints.

Hubble Telescope captures irregular dwarf galaxy 23 million light-years from Earth using red giants as “standard candles” to map the invisible gravitational force of the universe.

Xiaomi aims to go beyond the “best electric car in the world” and is now investing in AI, realistic simulations, and 3D reconstruction to challenge Tesla in autonomous driving.

Japan and Mercosur may reach an agreement to lower the cost of cars and auto parts, with manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan coming into focus.
