In terms of appearance, BYD Dolphin adopts the design concept of "marine aesthetics", which gives people a refreshing feeling. The front face is clearly layered and well recognized. In the center of the closed grille is BYD's new logo, which eliminates the ellipse boundary and the font is more slender. The overall rounded shape of the front of the car applies bionic design, and the addition of some colorful decorative parts also makes the whole car more youthful and energetic.
The LED headlights are called the Eye of the Dolphin, and the near-fan-shaped outer silhouette adds a silly touch to the front face. Except for the lowest model, all other models are equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights and headlight delayed off functions.
When you look at the side of the car, your eyes will first be attracted by the sharp "Z" waistline, so the angular design makes the side of the car quite attractive. In terms of tail design, BYD Dolphin designed the tail as smoothly as possible to simulate the rounded and full back shape of the dolphin. The taillights of the through-through design are bydir's classic design elements, and they are integrated into the biomimetic design without any sense of violation. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4125/1770/1570mm (the length of the Vitality Edition is 4070mm, and the length of the Knight Edition is 4150mm), and the wheelbase is 2700mm.
Dolphin's interior design is very original, there are a large number of marine elements such as ripples and whirlpools in the details, the color matching is bold, and the material emphasizes the texture, which is really refreshing. The medium and high-end models are equipped with a 12.8-inch adaptive rotating suspension Pad, built-in the latest DiLink 3.0 intelligent network system, the response speed is very smooth, the 360-degree panoramic image function is clear enough, and the voice recognition control is also supported. (The minimum model is equipped with a 10.1-inch Pad, which can only be rotated manually, and the system does not support voice recognition control.) ）
The color of the three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel is also very "dolphin", the steering wheel is wrapped in leather, the whole series of models only support manual up and down adjustment, and the buttons on both sides are used to control cruise control and vehicle-related functions, and the layout is more reasonable. The 5-inch full LCD instrument panel is fixed to the steering column, due to the small size, the UI layout is relatively compact, fortunately, the necessary information can be intuitively displayed.
In terms of seats, all models are covered with imitation leather materials. The one-piece color-block sports seats in the front row are quite a plus, the seat shape is full, the fabric is matched naturally, and the jumping color edges are complemented to show personality. The high-end model supports 6-way electric adjustment in the main driver and 4-way manual adjustment in the co-driver. The rear seats have separate headrests and no central armrests. In terms of space, thanks to the wheelbase of 2700mm, the rear space is spacious enough.

BYD Dolphin has a total of 4 models, and although the minimum model is practical, the mileage is a short board. The two models in the middle are not only further enriched in configuration, but also the highest in the range of all models.

Considering that the difference between the fashion version and the free version is only 5,000 yuan, and the comfort configuration can be further improved, so the most recommended fashion version, if you are interested, you may wish to pay more attention to it.
