this morning claiming the BYD Dolphin would be launched soon with a starting price tag of under RM100k.
The BYD Dolphin is sort of a B-segment hatchback. It is 4,125 mm long and 1,770 mm wide, which is 220 mm shorter and 22 mm wider than a Honda City Hatchback, but the EV is 82 mm taller than the Honda and its 2,700 mm wheelbase length is in C-segment territory. Without the need to accommodate an engine, EVs can benefit from better packaging.
The 0-100 km/h sprint is done in 12.3 seconds, but as always with EVs, it will feel much faster in real-life compared to an ICE-car with the same century sprint time. Claimed range is 410 km per charge in the NEDC cycle, so you can deduct 20% from this for the more realistic WLTP ballpark. Currently, one other BYD model is already on sale in Malaysia. The BYD Atto 3 is priced from RM149,800 with a 49.92 kWh battery and RM167,800 with a 60.48 kWh battery .
