Dear friends, the car we are talking about today is incredible. It is not like those young people who are always trying to "subvert the industry". Instead, it has quietly accomplished a seemingly simple thing to the extreme - it has become China's first pure electric car with sales exceeding 1 million units. That’s right, it’s BYD Dolphin. When a car can have the two labels of "a fixed price of 77,800" and "global millionaire club" attached to it at the same time, you know that it is not just a car, but a phenomenon. Today, instead of dealing with the fictitious, we will break it into pieces and see how this "dolphin" can swim into the hearts of millions of families.
First of all, it must be said that half of the success of Dolphin is due to its "marine aesthetic" design. It is not as retro as the Euler Cat, nor is it as sci-fi as the Volkswagen ID.3, but it finds an excellent balance between roundness and agility. The layout of short front and rear overhangs and four wheels and four corners makes it particularly smart and easy to dri
Dear friends, the car we are talking about today is incredible. It is not like those young people who are always trying to "subvert the industry". Instead, it has quietly accomplished a seemingly simple thing to the extreme - it has become China's first pure electric car with sales exceeding 1 million units. That’s right, it’s BYD Dolphin. When a car can have the two labels of "a fixed price of 77,800" and "global millionaire club" attached to it at the same time, you know that it is not just a car, but a phenomenon. Today, instead of dealing with the fictitious, we will break it into pieces and see how this "dolphin" can swim into the hearts of millions of families.
First of all, it must be said that half of the success of Dolphin is due to its "marine aesthetic" design. It is not as retro as the Euler Cat, nor is it as sci-fi as the Volkswagen ID.3, but it finds an excellent balance between roundness and agility. The layout of short front and rear overhangs and four wheels and four corners makes it particularly smart and easy to drive in traffic.
This design seems simple, but in fact it accurately captures all the fantasies that young users, especially female users, have for a high-quality car: it should be fashionable, but not ostentatious; it should be individual, but not out of the ordinary. It's the kind of car that makes you recognize it in a parking lot and think, "This is a classy car."
Sitting in the car, you can better appreciate BYD's "little thoughts". Although the material used is a lot of hard plastic due to cost constraints, the designers managed to create a sense of design and fun that far exceeds this price point through clever lines, color-changing combinations and the iconic rotating central control screen. Especially the instrument panel lines inspired by ocean waves immediately solidify the "ocean" theme. Space is where its "magic" lies. It is built on a pure electric platform and has a wheelbase of 2700mm, which is almost as good as some compact cars. The rear legroom is leaps and bounds. In this regard, whether it is a good cat or ID.3, you have to admire it in terms of the absolute practicality of the interior space.
How does it drive? In one sentence: it is easy to drive and is an "top student" for urban commuting. The motor responds directly and smoothly, and the power is more than enough for city shuttles. The chassis adjustment is obviously geared towards comfort and can filter out small bumps on the road very well, but don't expect it to provide any driving excitement. There is obvious roll when cornering, and the directional feel is also light. Its core mission is to get you from point A to point B comfortably and quietly while minimizing energy consumption. The CLTC range ranges from 420 kilometers to 401 kilometers, which is not top-notch today, but with the stable three-electric system and extensive charging network, it can handle daily commuting and weekend outings without any anxiety.
So, after exceeding one million sales, what is the market prospect of Dolphin? Lao Wang believes that it has evolved from a "hot product" to a "market cornerstone." Its significance is that it uses a high-quality pure electric product to completely reshape the value standard of a family car worth 100,000 yuan. Its opponents are no longer pure electric vehicles of the same level, but all fuel vehicles of the same price range.
In the future, with the launch of lower threshold versions such as the Honor Edition, it will continue to capture the huge user base of first-time car buyers who pursue quality and practicality with the power of "gas and electricity are the same price" or even "electricity is cheaper than gas". Of course there are challenges, such as how to deal with the involution of more and more equally excellent domestic high-quality small cars.
But as long as it continues to maintain this precise product definition and strong system cost control capabilities, no one can shake its status as the "national pure electric mobility car" in the short term. Dear friends, do you think dolphins can continue to be "dolphins"? What do you think? Welcome to reply to comments!
