Brazil / The BYD DOLPHIN is the most awarded electric vehicle of the year in 2023. In just 6 months since its launch in Brazil, it has received 10 major recognitions. 

The most awaited and speculated car of the year has become the darling of the specialized press and public opinion, breaking paradigms and changing the history of the national market. 

Sales recordist in 2023 with over 5,000 units sold, the model makes history by bringing electric cars to the Brazilian’s radar, who finally started to consider the real possibility of buying a non-polluting car.

In the overall ranking of electric cars, the BYD compact is far ahead in the lead and shows that it is possible to combine design, cutting-edge technology, comfort, autonomy, and agility with a more affordable price than the market has ever offered.

"The BYD DOLPHIN is a game-changer for the Brazilian automotive market because never before in history has a manufacturer innovated so much by offering a car that is so complete, efficient, and comfortable, with autonomy, which has design and does not produce toxic gases or generate noise pollution wherever it goes. The competitive price has made the entire industry move and rethink its pricing policies, and that’s our goal: to change the status quo to make the electric car accessible to the Brazilian population," says Tyler Li, President of BYD Brazil.
