Introduction

Cimex Nepal, the authorized distributor of BYD vehicles, has officially introduced the brand-new BYD Dolphin to the Himalayan nation because of which Nepal's electric vehicle market is buzzing with excitement. This sleek and futuristic electric vehicle is set to make waves in the country's EV scene, offering a unique blend of style, performance, and affordability. In this article, we will talk about the features specifications and price of the EV.

Design

The BYD Dolphin is a visual delight, boasting a design inspired by "Ocean Aesthetics." The graceful curves and vibrant colour profile evoke the image of dolphins breaching out of the ocean, a concept that permeates both its exterior and interior. The LED headlights, which run seamlessly across the dynamic centre grille, showcase the aquatic influence. The Dolphin's side profile, adorned with striking cuts and creases, breaks away from traditional design norms. The rear of the vehicle features geometric polyline LED lights, echoing the dynamic motion of a dolphin. Inside, the Dolphin immerses passengers in wave-inspired interiors, embracing a beautifully minimalist curved surface. Even the door handles sport a fin-like styling, adding a touch of quirkiness to the overall aesthetic.

Performance and Battery

Under the Dolphin's elegant exterior lies a powerful 70kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) that churns out 95 PS of maximum power and 180 Nm of peak torque. This motor propels the vehicle to a top speed of 150 km/h and achieves 0 to 100 km/h in a swift 12.3 seconds. The BYD Dolphin rides on the advanced BYD e-Platform 3.0, specially designed for electric vehicles, guaranteeing exceptional performance, range efficiency, and safety. Safety features include an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) with a 360-degree Surround View Camera, High Beam Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control, and more. With a spacious 345-litre boot space that can be expanded to a capacious 1310-litre, the BYD Dolphin offers practicality that suits various lifestyles. Its 175mm ground clearance and 1758 kg kerb weight ensure stability and versatility on Nepal's diverse terrains.

The Dolphin is equipped with a 44.9 kWh Blade Battery, delivering an impressive range of 340 kilometres on a single charge. Recharging is a breeze, with a 7.15-hour full charge time using a 7 kW charger. Fast DC Charging, supporting up to 60 kW, ensures you spend less time waiting and more time on the road.
