BYD built this low-cost PHEV specifically for global markets — And it gets +1,000 km range

The Dolphin G will go on sale soon as BYD’s first car developed specifically for global markets. BYD said its “game-changing” plug-in hybrid system will offer over 1,000 km (621 miles) of combined range at an affordable price.

The Dolphin G is BYD’s first car custom-built for overseas

BYD is taking its Super Hybrid with DM technology overseas as it looks to drive growth this year. After overtaking Tesla, Kia, and others, BYD became the best-selling EV brand in the UK, Australia, and several overseas markets in the first quarter of the year.

As China’s brutal price war continues to intensify and a flood of new low-cost domestic rivals hit the market, BYD and several other Chinese brands are looking overseas to boost sales.

The Dolphin G is BYD’s first car developed specifically for overseas markets, including Europe, the company said after unveiling the compact PHEV hatchback on Tuesday.
