With the Dolphin "G DM-i", BYD has announced a new plug-in hybrid in the B-segment. The 14 feet-long small car is expected to have a total range of more than 620 miles. The manufacturer has so far remained silent on the technical details. These will only be available when the model is officially unveiled in June.

Compared to the all-electric BYD Dolphin previously offered, the new version is around 5 inches shorter. The model is also visually very different. As with its other plug-in hybrid models, BYD is also likely to use a fairly large battery in the Dolphin G, which promises a long electric range.

The Dolphin G is the first BYD model that the manufacturer has developed specifically for the international markets and especially for Europe. It will roll off the production line at BYD's European plant in Hungary. Deliveries are expected to start in the fall of 2026.
