BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN – Maju Motors has just unveiled the BYD Dolphin 2024, a striking new electric hatchback in the BYD lineup.
The launch of the Dolphin marked BYD’s first roadshow event in Brunei, underscoring the brand’s dedication to sustainable transportation and green mobility solutions through its latest New Energy Vehicle models.
The roadshow at The Mall, Gadong will continue until December 15, from 10am to 10pm, offering visitors an opportunity to experience BYD’s offerings firsthand.
“Today marks another significant milestone for BYD in Brunei as we introduce the BYD Dolphin in Brunei Darussalam, said managing director of Maju Motors, Chan Key Hong.
“Our commitment to innovation and sustainability is reflected in this exceptional vehicle, which combines cutting-edge technology with unparalleled performance. We are excited to bring a new era of electric mobility to Brunei and look forward to contributing to a greener future.”
The BYD Dolphin represents the next generation of sustainable transport, combining cutting-edge performance, innovation and environmental responsibility.
The compact five-door electric hatchback is powered by a single electric motor generating 94hp and 180Nm of torque.
Designed with a sleek futuristic aesthetic, the exterior of the BYD Dolphin features smooth curves and a distinct front grille.
Inside, the minimalist yet sophisticated interior integrates high-quality materials and advanced technology, ensuring a user-friendly driving experience.
The BYD Dolphin’s powertrain includes BYD’s Blade Battery with a capacity of 44.9 kWh, offering a WLTP-claimed range of up to 410 km.
The hatchback can reach a top speed of 130 km/h and accelerate from zero to 50 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.
Charging the vehicle is efficient, taking only 30 minutes to go from 30% to 80% with a 60kW DC charger, while an AC charger takes eight hours for a full charge.
Despite its compact size, the BYD Dolphin prioritises safety with six airbags (front, side, and curtain), ISOFIX anchors, vehicle stability control, traction control, a panoramic camera, and hill-start assist.
It also features keyless entry and an advanced anti-theft system.
The Dolphin comes with an app exclusively for BYD cars, which can start the engine, lock the car, and check your remaining battery percentage.
Usually priced at $42,888, Maju Motors is offering a launch promotion of $36,888 for the first five units of the BYD Dolphin 2024.
