The offensive Chinese Of electric cars in Italy it continues with the arrival of the BYD Dolphina competitively priced EV vehicle close to the 30,000 euroswhich threatens the Volkswagen ID.3 and the others in the C segment. It is equipped with a drums lithium iron phosphate LFP extension from 60 kWhwhich allows it an autonomy of over 400km. BYD Dolphin pre-sales in Italy start in the summer, while the first deliveries are expected from September 2023.

BYD Dolphin is the first model of Ocean series and the first to adopt the design concept “Ocean Aesthetics” creating a dynamic, elegant and highly recognizable visual appearance.
In the car’s design, the marine mammal that inspired BYD Dolphin (dolphin) is presented in both figurative and imaginative forms. Dolphin offers a BYD Blade lithium iron phosphate battery of 45 or 60 kWh. Like the recently launched BYD Act 3, BYD Dolphin is also a model conceived on ePlatform 3.0.
The 60 kWh Blade Battery powers a synchronous motor with permanent magnets from 150 kW/201 hp. The BYD Dolphin accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7 seconds thanks to 290Nm of torque and reaches the maximum speed of 160 km/h.
Four driving modes are available to suit road conditions and driver preferences: Sport, Normal, Eco and Snow.

BYD Dolphin lithium iron phosphate battery
BYD Dolphin benefits from innovation Blade Battery from 60 kWh; cobalt-free uses the cathode material lithium iron phosphate (LFP) which offers a much higher level of safety than traditional lithium-ion batteries. LFP inherently has an excellent thermal stability.
BYD’s 8-in-1 electric powertrain integrates the vehicle’s control unit, the battery management systemthe power distribution unit, the traction motor, the motor controller, the transmission, the DC-DC transformer and the on-board charger. This deep integration ensures 89% system efficiency.
BYD Dolphin autonomy
BYD Dolphin has a combined electric range WLTP of 427km. The charging power is 11 kW in alternating current AC three-phase. The charger in DC current of 100 kW BYD Dolphin can recharge the battery from 30 to 80% in just 29 minutes. BYD Dolphin is also equipped with V2L and a maximum power of 3.3 kWso the car battery can easily charge external devices.
Among the standard features of BYD Dolphin there is also one integrated heat pump high efficiency. Thanks to this direct cooling and heating system of the battery compartment, thethermal efficiency increases up to 15% in winter. Always with a view to energy efficiency, as a sub-function of the intelligent braking system, the system CRBS coordinated regenerative braking is able to efficiently recover the braking energy of the whole vehicle.
ADAS on the BYD Dolphin
BYD Dolphin is equipped with numerous series ADAS systems safety and advanced driving assistance. All models are equipped with forward collision warning (Forward Collision Warning), Autonomous Emergency Braking, rear collision warning (Rear Collision Warning), rear cross traffic warning And automatic braking (Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Brake), lane keeping assistance (Lane Keep Assistance and Emergency Lane Keep) e lane change assistance (Lane Change Assist).
L’Adaptive Cruise Control and theIntelligent Cruise Control increase driving pleasure. The panoramic camera offers the driver a 360 degree visibility for maximum maneuvering safety. Also included as additional driving aids are a blind spot detection system, electronic stability control (ESP), traction control, hill descent control (Hill Decent Control), automatic braking on slopes (Automatic Vehicle Hold), traffic sign recognition with intelligent speed limit control (Intelligent Speed Limit Information/Control). Also available is the cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control) and intelligent (Intelligent Cruise Control).
Maximum technology for safety purposes also with regard to lighting when driving at night, thanks to the High Beam Assist (automatic high beam), ai adaptive headlights (Adaptive Front Headlights) et al Follow Me Home system (external courtesy lighting) as standard.
