The BYD Dolphin is an all-electric subcompact hatchback produced by the Chinese manufacturer BYD Auto since 2023. It is due to be released as the EA1 and BYD Atto 2 outside of China.
During Auto Shanghai in April 2023, BYD presented a new generation of the platform dedicated to electric cars under the name e-Platform 3.0, which thanks to better weight distribution is to offer more efficient performance and range. [7] At the same time, the Chinese manufacturer presented a pre-production prototype of the new city hatchback called BYD EA1 Concept, announcing not only a new range of electric cars, but also a modernized stylistic language and company logo.
The production model was presented three months later under the name BYD Dolphin. The car extensively recreated the look of a prototype, with a one-box silhouette and sharp shapes for a new generation of BYD car looks by design team head Wolfgang Egger . As announced, the car was the first production model to bear the new BYD brand logo.
In February 2023, BYD's
Australian
distributor, EVDirect, announced plans to sell the Dolphin in Australia with a target price of
AUD$
35,000-40,000 and a focus on ride-share operators.
