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 Super Hybrid with DM technology, the DOLPHIN G DM-i mixes compact dimensions, family-car practicality, and 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 combining zero-emissions ability of a pure EV with 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.
1,000km Combined Range in Compact Package
When required to tackle longer journeys, the DOLPHIN G DM-i intelligently manages its hybrid system to achieve flexibility beyond capabilities of conventional ICE-powered superminis, achieving more than 1,000km range on a full charge and 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 accessibility of sustainable new-energy mobility. Its dimensions (4.16m long, 1.825m wide) place it squarely into the heartland of European superminis, the B-segment.
Executive Statement on Market Positioning
BYD Executive Vice President Stella Li stated the European B-segment is one of the most important parts of the market, and with DOLPHIN G DM-i, they 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, they are making sustainable mobility smarter, more practical, and available to many more people across Europe.
European Launch Timeline
The DOLPHIN G DM-i will go on sale across European markets in the coming weeks, with first deliveries expected to reach customers by end of summer. Full equipment levels and technical specifications will be issued in due course.
