The BYD Dolphin Mini can be financed with fixed installments of R$ 999 until May 31, 2026. See the conditions, specifications, and the total cost of the deal.
The Chinese automaker BYD is maintaining a special financing condition for the BYD Dolphin Mini, its compact electric hatchback aimed at urban use, until May 31, 2026. With fixed installments of R$ 999 per month over five years, the offer seeks to make the transition to electric cars more accessible for Brazilian consumers — without the need to take on high payments, according to information from Mundo do Automóvel para PCD and the automaker’s official website. The strategy, according to the manufacturer itself, is centered on the perception of monthly cost, and not just the vehicle’s upfront price.
How does the Dolphin Mini financing work?
The suggested retail price of the BYD Dolphin Mini GS version is R$ 119,990. To access the R$ 999 installment condition, the buyer needs to make a down payment equivalent to 70% of the vehicle’s value, which is R$ 83,993. The remaining balance is then paid in 60 fixed installments of R$ 999.
On the other hand, it is important to consider the total cost of the operation. With monthly interest of 1.46%, the final amount paid at the end of the contract reaches R$ 143,933 — a difference of about R$ 24,000 compared to the original price. This type of variation is common in conventional financing and should be taken into account when planning the purchase.

BYD Dolphin Mini: technical specifications and range
In addition to the financing condition, the model stands out for its specifications aimed at urban mobility. The front electric motor delivers 75 hp of power and 13.8 kgfm of torque — adequate numbers for city traffic.
The 38 kWh battery, with LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) technology and Blade system — developed by BYD for greater safety and efficiency — offers a range of up to 280 km according to INMETRO criteria. Therefore, the vehicle serves well those who use the car for daily short and medium-distance commutes.
Another differential highlighted by the manufacturer is energy efficiency: the Dolphin Mini is presented as the most economical car in the Brazilian market currently, with an estimated cost of less than R$ 0.09 per kilometer driven, considering a tariff of R$ 0.85 per kWh and an efficiency of 0.41 MJ/km.
Dimensions, trunk, and technological platform
With a length of 3.78 meters and a wheelbase of 2.50 meters, the hatchback occupies a compact footprint but makes good use of its interior space for its category. The trunk has a capacity of 230 liters, compatible with the model’s urban use proposal.
The vehicle is built on the e-Platform 3.0, a platform developed exclusively by BYD for 100% electric cars. According to the manufacturer, the technology was created to optimize safety, range, and driving experience.
Safety and onboard technology
The BYD Dolphin Mini brings together a relevant set of safety and connectivity features:
- 6 airbags in total: 2 front, 2 side, and 2 curtain;
- Disc brakes on all four wheels, with a regenerative function that uses braking to recharge the battery;
- 61% steel in the structure, providing greater resistance in case of collision;
- 10.1-inch rotating floating screen with split-screen function and voice control;
- Wireless charging for cell phones, in addition to USB Type-A and Type-C inputs.
Thus, the model combines onboard technology and passive safety in a package aimed at urban consumers looking for their first electric car.
A gateway to electric vehicles in Brazil
The electric vehicle market in Brazil has been showing consistent growth in recent months, and the BYD Dolphin Mini positions itself as one of the most accessible alternatives in this segment. The combination of competitive price, low cost per kilometer, and financing conditions with a fixed installment below R$ 1,000 reinforces this positioning.
For those considering the transition to an electric vehicle, the offer valid until May 31, 2026, represents a concrete window of opportunity — provided the buyer is prepared for a 70% down payment and has clarity on the total cost at the end of the contract.
