Today's car circle is not very pure, looking back at the past days, positioning different models, the size of the space is also different, small cars are difficult to have compact space to open. But after Honda's Fit went public, breaking this old rule, the space experience did not lose the compact level. In this way, the development of the compact today is about to catch up with the interior space of medium-sized cars. And now is the emerging era of electric vehicles, the advantage of electric vehicles is that there is no need to consider the position of the engine, you can do four wheels and four corners, maximize the space in the cockpit, so even a small car, you can easily reach the space size of compact models, so today I want to talk to you about this BYD dolphin.
BYD's dolphin can be counted as the first model of THE BYD Ocean series, so it gets rid of the shadow of the BYD Dynasty series in the design of the appearance, and the overall shape gives people a refreshing feeling.
The Dolphin is positioned as a small car, so the entire body is relatively small. The shape of the front face is relatively straight, the headlight group on both sides and the trim panel in the middle are well integrated, the overall sense is very strong, and the daily running lamp is divided into three stages, which is very recognizable after the light is lit.
The center of the front is the BYD logo, according to the previous design idea, it should not be engraved with "dolphin" to be more recognizable. The shape of the lower encirclement is more rounded, and the main young market, so a lot of contrast embellishment is used, and the overall visual effect is excellent.
The characteristics of electric vehicles can be clearly seen on the side of the body, that is, the front suspension can be infinitely close to the front end, and the length of the engine compartment is very short, so the design is the advantage of electric vehicles, and the internal space is generous. The raised waist line on the side of the body and the polyline on the door panel are combined into an arrow style, and there is no feeling of being ready to go. However, if it is really rubbed, I think the sheet metal master will definitely spit out the fragrance.
The semi-hidden door handles and semi-closed wheel hub styles are designed to reduce wind resistance and increase endurance. The C-pillar features black trim panels that create the feeling of suspended roof.
The shape of the rear of the car is still a rounded design, the through-type taillights must not be absent, and the taillights formed by the combination of staggered light strips are very recognizable after lighting. The shape of the lower bracket is highly consistent with the front bracket, and the overall feeling is very strong.
BYD's designers have also designed a new interior for The Little Dolphin, but some of BYD's representative elements can still be found.
The overall center console still adopts a T-shaped layout, and the design of the large central control screen that can be rotated really counts the slip that BYD plays. The center console has a strong sense of layering, the top is a raised circular air conditioner outlet, down is a whole piece of trim through the center console, and then down is a large area of leather cover, the interior is made of diamond texture and added contrast embellishment. The overall effect is very stylish and lively. The size of the full LCD meter is only 5 inches, but fortunately, the content of the display is quite rich. The new style of steering wheel, well integrated into this lively atmosphere, if you still use the old steering wheel shape, to be honest and the whole is not very compatible.
There is an open storage slot under the central control screen, but only a mobile phone can be placed, and further down is another huge storage space, not only with USB charging interface but also with a storage slot with a cover. Many circular elements are used in the car, and the gear handles and air conditioning control areas and vehicle control buttons are made into circles. The meaning is that the control method is also up and down, which is relatively new.
The position of the central armrest is wrapped in leather, and in front of it is a wireless charging panel, which is sealed as a whole, and the storage space is hollowed out below.
Although the car is just over 4 meters long, the wheelbase is 2700mm, and this kind of seating space can squeeze five adults.
Dolphin's front seats are one-piece, after all, positioned in the young market, with two-tone spliced leather seats. The front and rear seats are in the same style, this is a pure tram, the rear floor is flat, and the foot of size 43 can also be well placed in the middle position, so there will not be much pressure to squeeze three adults in the back.
Unfortunately, the rear row does not provide air conditioning outlets, nor does it have a central handrail.
The trunk space is already relatively large at this level, and the rear seats support the overall reclining, but there is a height difference after the reclining, if you really want to move, I am afraid it is still a little difficult.
The BYD Dolphin series has a total of three endurance options, 301km, 405km and 401km, all equipped with a 70kW front-mounted single motor and support fast charging. The model we actually shot is the free version, which costs 103,800 yuan, is equipped with a blade battery of 44.9 kWh, and the range of NEDC can reach 405km. BYD's blade battery is also integrated with more black technology, and it also has a good performance in terms of battery energy consumption and safety.
With a budget of about 100,000 yuan, many models can be bought in today's domestic automobile consumption market, and the new energy vehicle market is also growing. Even so, many people still maintain a neutral attitude, and perhaps when they want to try new energy vehicles, about 100,000 models are also their first choice. Urban transportation, daily commuting, pure tram compared to the same price of fuel vehicles, the cost of the car is really much lower. If you have a budget of 100,000 to buy a car, would you consider this BYD dolphin?
