New BYD DOLPHIN G DM-i arrives to revolutionise Europe's B-segment

Vehicle Launch


BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of new-energy vehicles, presents the DOLPHIN G DM-i, a revolutionary entry into Europe's B-segment. Powered by BYD's game-changing Super Hybrid with DM technology, the DOLPHIN G DM-i mixes compact dimensions, family-car practicality and the ability to tackle daily commutes on electricity alone, making it a unique proposition in the supermini class.

The DOLPHIN G DM-i is designed for customers seeking an accessible compact car that combines the zero-emissions ability of a pure EV with the long-distance flexibility of a hybrid. BYD's Super Hybrid with DM technology delivers an EV driving experience, with strong, smooth acceleration from its front-mounted electric motor.

When it's required to tackle longer journeys, the DOLPHIN G DM-i intelligently manages its hybrid system to achieve flexibility beyond the capabilities of conventional ICE-powered superminis, achieving more than 621 miles (1000km) of range on a full charge and a full tank of petrol. The first car developed by BYD specifically for overseas markets including Europe, the DOLPHIN G DM-i represents a breakthrough in the accessibility of sustainable new-energy mobility – and its dimensions (4.16m long, 1.825m wide) place it squarely into the heartland of European superminis, the B-segment.

BYD Executive Vice President Stella Li commented: "The European B-segment is one of the most important parts of the market, and with DOLPHIN G DM-i, we want to redefine what customers can expect from a compact car in the electric era. By bringing long electric range, intelligent hybrid technology and advanced digital features into an accessible compact vehicle, we are making sustainable mobility smarter, more practical and available to many more people across Europe."
