BYD’s landing is very complete, after a first phase in which it unveiled the Atto3, the Han and the Tang, the Chinese company is now fully involved in one of the most important segments, that of compacts. It does with the Dolphin, a vehicle it already sells in China, but with a much smaller concept than the one that arrives here, so much so that it would be classified as a utility vehicle there and here it has the compact label. That said, BYD’s goal with this Dolphin is nothing but to gradually democratize electrification, because, as they assured us in its international presentation, the idea is to market it in a price range between 30,000 and 39,000 euros. The dolphin that arrives in the middle of the year is almost 4.30 meters long and will arrive with a 204 hp engine for the time being. It has a 60 kWh cell pack with which it guarantees a range of 427 km and can be charged with 88 kW direct current and 11 kW alternating current.

During our contact in Barceola, we verified how the Dolphin shows a sober and functional design. To emphasize the customization with the five available colors and winks that resemble a dolphin. You can see these in your passenger compartment, such as the door handles. BYD Dolphin Autocasión interior An interior emphasizes the good construction and quality of materials, far above some models that have been sold in Europe for years. The driver’s position is dominated by a 12.8-inch floating screen that, like the rest of BYD, can be positioned vertically at the touch of a button. It becomes the brain of the same operations and offers fast and intuitive operation, similar to that of a smartphone. SEAL, an elegant sedan that is also 100% electric In addition to this utility model, we were also able to test the Seal, an elegant and powerful sedan. A model that surprises first of all by its silhouette, since its sedan forms seem to be at odds with modern times. However, BYD is committed to these forms as it believes they best suit its requirements. But beyond that, this seal takes a very important step towards becoming a dynamic benchmark and it does so thanks to the Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology where the also revolutionary Blade Battery is integrated into the entire structure of the vehicle. Seal is a high-performance sedan Autocasión The top version of the electric sedan generates no less than 530 hp and 630 Nm of torque thanks to its two motors, one on each axle, which also provide it with four-wheel drive. With this, it beats the clock by accelerating from standstill to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds, a figure that even we have managed to reduce by a tenth, which is also the best time of the day. But aside from how quick it can be in a turn, the Seal stands out for its noted agility. From the steering, in this case of the entry version, the one with a single engine in the rear with already 313 hp of power, we could see how it can keep its composure in the slalom without flinching. With an 82 kWh battery, it guarantees a range of more than 500 km in both cases, being 570 km in the case of the Access Seal and 520 km in the most powerful. In addition, it supports DC loads up to 150 kW, taking 26 minutes to go from 30 to 80%, while with AC connectors it can reach 11 kW. Interior of the BYD Seal Autocasion It measures 4.80 meters long by 1.87 wide and 1.46 high and has 19-inch wheels, recessed handles or a giant sunroof, among other things. Indoors, it also stands out for its high build quality and for its digitization, with the 15.6-inch swivel monitor becoming the brain of operations.
