BYD Dolphin

The BYD Dolphin is a compact electric hatchback for people who want a practical, well-equipped EV for daily driving without paying SUV money. Sold internationally under the same Dolphin name as part of BYD's Ocean series, it's brought to Nepal by Cimex Inc. Pvt. Ltd. and priced at Rs. 41.15 lakh.

Range is the number that matters most here. A 44.9 kWh Blade Battery, BYD's LFP (lithium iron phosphate) pack, gives you a claimed 340 km on the WLTP test cycle. When you need a quick top-up, 60 kW DC fast charging takes it from 10 to 80% in about 35 minutes, while a 7 kW AC charger does a full charge in around 7 hours. The front motor makes 70 kW and 180 Nm, so it's tuned for smooth, efficient progress in stop-start traffic rather than quick sprints.

The Dolphin sits on BYD's e-Platform 3.0, and its 2,700 mm wheelbase frees up more cabin room than the hatchback footprint suggests. The 345-litre boot grows to 1,310 litres with the rear seats folded. Ground clearance is 175 mm, which is worth keeping in mind on broken roads and steep driveways.

The safety kit is generous for the price, with six airbags, a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind spot detection and lane-keeping support. Inside, a 12.8-inch rotating touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay handles infotainment, and you can unlock the car with a card key or your phone.
