BYD Dolphin all-electric car makes debut in Colombia

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Chinese leading new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturer BYD recently unveiled the Dolphin all-electric hatchback in Colombia, in partnership with the local car dealer MOTORYSA, in order to inject new impetus into Colombia's transition towards green transportation, the company said via its WeChat account.

The BYD Dolphin is the first production model riding on BYD's e-platform 3.0. It is equipped with BYD's Blade Battery with a capacity of 44.0kWh, which offers the model a range of up to 405km under the NEDC test cycle.

In addition, the BYD Dolphin is also the first model to adopt BYD's ocean aesthetics, which endows the vehicle with minimalist and stylish exteriors and graceful interiors.

BYD's cooperation with Motorysa can date back to 2020, allowing BYD to sell its new energy passenger vehicles in Colombia, including such models as the Han EV full-sized all-electric flagship sedan, the Tang EV full-electric SUV, as well as the Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i plug-in hybrid electric vehicle models.

As of today, BYD has delivered nearly 3,000 new energy vehicles to users in Colombia.

In other markets outside of China, BYD saw its ATTO 3 all-electric SUV honored the best-selling model in Israel last month with a sales volume of 2,333 units, citing the data released by the Israel Vehicle Importers Association on Dec. 3.
