The BYD Dolphin went on sale in China on August 29, 2021 and is currently priced at a starting price of RMB 116,800 ($16,290) in its home market.
The model is the first to be built on BYD's e-Platform 3.0 platform and is the first product in its Ocean series.
BYD also debuted the Han EV, Tang EV, Song EV, and Song Plus DM-i at the event, according to its July 15 press release.
In Chile, BYD brought its first electric bus to Santiago in 2017 and entered into a strategic partnership with local car dealer Astara Group in 2022.
