In the naming of new cars, today's Chinese brands can be said to be all kinds of brain holes. After the completion of the "Great Wall Zoo", the "BYD Aquarium" was also officially opened, the first model of dolphin from the latest e-platform 3.0, is also the first mass production car using the brand's new LOGO, focusing on the 100,000-level pure electricity market. Since its debut, the dolphin market has not diminished, and the official definition of it as a "pure point new species" aims to capture the hearts of young people. So what are the points in this dolphin that can attract consumers?
Where are the "dolphins"?
As the name suggests, since the name is "dolphin", it is natural to "get involved" with dolphins. Under the official positioning of the "marine aesthetics" design concept, the appearance of this dolphin gave me the first feeling of agility, without too many complex lines, full and rounded body contours, and the side is like the posture of the "dolphin" when it jumps. Although not as stunning as the first impression of the direct competitor Good Cat, the latter is a "endurance player" and has other surprises from time to time during the use of the car (see below).
In terms of color matching, there are 5 color schemes, based on "Toot White", which uses "Sparkling Blue", "Sassy Green" and "Honey Orange" as the jumping color, combining three color schemes; "Pu Pu Pink" and "Surf Blue" are combined with "Beibei Gray" to form a two-color body.
In the car, the "wave" curve that can be seen everywhere in the center console, the defrost outlet of the "cascading wave", the air outlet of the "water surface vortex" air conditioner... The strong marine atmosphere comes to the face. At the same time, the models that use "sparkling blue", "sassy green" and "honey orange" as the color jump embellishment also use these three colors as the interior color matching. Models with "poof pink" and "surf blue" as the main colors also use pink and blue tones as interior colors.
In the details, when the gear is hung, the system will prompt a "dolphin sound", and the turn signal will prompt a "water drop sound", which is quite pleasing. To the BYD designer to make a suggestion, if you can also design the key into a dolphin style with nice la ~ ~ the car also uses a large area of printed and matt fabrics, the textured surface to create a sense of déjà vu after the waves wash away the beach.
Small stature "big belly"
As the first new car created by e-platform 3.0, based on the attributes of new energy vehicles, the design of short front and rear suspension and long wheelbase has enabled Dolphin's axle length ratio to reach 66.3%. It is 4070 × 1770× 1570 mm high, which is smaller than the A0 class fit, but the wheelbase is 2700 mm of the A+ class. In actual experience, both horizontal and longitudinal space in the car are satisfactory, and the front seats are integrated, hollow headrests, spliced with printed and solid color fabrics, supplemented by jumping color edge strips, sports style and fashion sense.
The rear floor is completely flat, the seats are also using two-color splicing processing, supporting the overall reclining; the distribution of more than 20 storage spaces is also enough to meet the daily storage scene, including glasses box, multi-function hook, semi-open storage compartment, mobile phone wireless charging, double-layer document bag and push-pull hidden storage box.
"Who" is suitable for dolphins?
So what kind of people are suitable for buying dolphins? Personally, I think that the first to bear the brunt is the "little sisters", as a daily scooter, the main use of the scene is mostly urban roads, flexible and compact body, 5.25 meters minimum turning radius is very suitable for cruising in the city, parking, turning, congestion will not bring too much burden to female drivers. Under the ECO mode and normal kinetic energy feedback, the vehicle power output is relatively peaceful, and there is no innate "momentum" of pure electric vehicles, which is easy to get started.
The second is the "little young people" who like to try early, and now they all say that they are the main force of "Z era" automobile consumption. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have more ways to play and have a variety of tricks. Dolphin is equipped with DiLink 3.0 intelligent network system, 12.8-inch adaptive rotation suspension Pad in addition to the integration of traditional multimedia entertainment, voice control, vehicle settings and other functions, built-in APP market free choice, brush vibrato, visit B station, cloud music are not a problem. In addition, the official APP, Bluetooth, mobile phone NFC can be used as a car key carrier to operate, "lazy cancer" out of the pocket no longer need to carry more than one car key. VTOL discharge "black technology" can achieve 3.3kW external discharge, outdoor hot pot, roast, watch a movie... Life requires a little bit of fun and ritual.
The third is the family's second car, which is suitable for this role for a limited city. Eliminating the cost of card money and lottery time, commuting on weekdays, short trips on weekends, and a maximum endurance of 405km, this dolphin can fully meet the needs. Standard with the world's only power battery that can safely pass the needle punch test - blade battery, deeply integrated eight-in-one electric powertrain, in extreme low temperature environment for heat pump system to provide more heat for battery and crew compartment heating, improve winter cruising range.
Comments
From the perspective of market performance, Dolphin's sales have steadily increased, and in December, it was among the 10,000-car club, and it is also the first model of the current 100,000-class pure electric model to break 10,000. 9.38 – 121,800 yuan, when the dolphin announced the official price was also "questioned" by many people - is this price a bit drifty? If you also have such doubts, I personally recommend that you may wish to go to the store to experience it for yourself, or you may inadvertently plant grass... In a sentence to evaluate the feeling after the test drive, I would like to call it "100,000-level pure electric boutique".
