BYD announced that its blockbuster launch of the new BYD Dolphin will launch its annual update on February 23, called the Glory Edition。According to local media reports, the new car will be equipped with a larger capacity battery, and the entry-level heavy-duty price will be higher and cheaper than the pre-2023 model。

BYD recently declared war on fuel vehicles, launching a 2024 update of its plug-in hybrid models, which are cheaper than fuel vehicle alternatives, trying to convince buyers of traditional fuel vehicles to choose plug-in hybrid vehicles。The Shenzhen-based automaker said "the 79,800 yuan ($11,000) BYD makes fuel cars panic," referring to the launch of two cars for the 2024 annual update: the BYD Qin Plus Glory Edition and the Destroyer 05 Glory Edition.。

BYD is likely to target sales champions of affordable mass-market petrol cars such as the Lavida or Toyota Corolla.。BYD halted production of consumer gas vehicles in April 2022。

The previous version of BYD Dolphin only has a 45 kWh LFP battery option for a 420 km CLTC mileage update。2024 will add a 60 kWh battery and 520 km mileage。Ultimately, Chinese consumers can prefer the same higher loading capacity of Dolphin for European and other overseas customers。

The motor remains unchanged, the power is 70 kW, and the Nm is 180 Nm。The size also remains the same, (length / width / height) is 4125 / 1770 / 1570 mm, and the wheelbase is 2700 mm。
