Although the epidemic situation in China is well controlled, there are still some reversals from time to time. In order to obtain a safer and more private commuting environment, many people will choose to buy a private car to replace the original public transportation mode.
In such an environment, the 100,000-yuan new energy car market is hot, and the BYD dolphin to talk about today is a relatively new product in this market.
Regardless of subjective preferences, as a 100,000-yuan product, Dolphin is still quite designed. There are many elements inside and outside the car that echo its name "Dolphin".
The overall visual effect of the appearance is very smart and cute, and the Z-shaped line embellishment on the side of the body also makes the vehicle look not too dull.
The interior can also see a lot of echoing elements, especially the air conditioning outlets on both sides, which are very beautifully designed.
The 12.8-inch rotatable central control screen is equipped with DiLink3.0 intelligent network connection system, with beautiful UI, smooth operation, and various APPS. Having said that, the self-owned brand of the car machine is still rarely disappointing.
One of the highlights of dolphins is the configuration. Despite the low price, Dolphin still achieves the standard tire pressure alarm, reversing image, cruise control, keyless start/entry, remote start, 5-inch LCD dashboard, LED headlights, automatic air conditioning, PM2.5 filtration device in the car, etc., which can be said to be full of sincerity.
The test drive front is very long, starting from shanghai Huayu Tuss 4S store in Kangqiao, passing through expo park, Lupu Bridge, North Bund, and finally arriving at Sheshan Shimao Hotel in Songjiang, a total distance of about 70 kilometers, and covering downtown areas and highway conditions. Vehicles are also absolutely heavy vehicles, basically each car is full of 4 people, so that we have a deep experience of vehicle endurance and space.
Let's start with space and ride. Thanks to the flexible layout of BYD's E platform 3.0, as a compact car, the wheelbase of the Dolphin has reached 2700mm, providing a large amount of seating space in the car.
In addition, the dolphins have also made special optimizations to the shoulder and back support of the seat, and throughout the journey, the four people will not feel tired due to sitting posture problems for a long time.
The second is battery life. The range of the Dolphin is divided into three versions, the top knight version has a mileage of 401 kilometers, the free version and the fashion version are 405 kilometers, and the entry-level vitality version is 301 kilometers.
Just after the Spring Festival, the temperature is still low, coupled with a small long trip full of 4 people, I have to say that the test driving conditions this time are very harsh for the endurance. Although the performance range drops quickly under such conditions, it is still within an acceptable range, and it is still very easy to complete the 70 km journey.
BYD equipped the Dolphin with two power versions with a maximum power of 70 kW and 130 kW and a maximum torque of 180 N·m and 290 N·m.
This set of power propels the Dolphin's compact body through the city. Stepping on the dolphin's electric door pedal does not have a strong and exciting push back feeling, but the response is very sensitive and linear, which is very suitable for commuting in the city.
Overall, Dolphin is a very cost-effective 100,000-level product. Born out of the E 3.0 platform, blade batteries, a large number of standard configurations... Although the positioning of the dolphin is not high, BYD has not been stingy at all on it, which can be said to be a very sincere product in the same class. For users who mainly travel around the city on weekdays, Dolphin is an option worth considering.
