On February 23, the BYD Dolphin Glory Edition was officially launched, and the official guidance** was 998-12.980,000 yuan. The new entry-level model of 302 km has been added, bringing the entry price below the 100,000 mark. In addition, when the 500,000 commemorative edition was launched in September last year, there were rumors that the independent suspension that had been upgraded did not appear at the time, but the glory version was finally implemented, and the whole system was changed to an independent four-link rear suspension. Let's take a look at the specific changes in the new car.
The main change in the exterior is the addition of two solid color bodies, "Atlantis Gray" and "Heatwave Crimson", so that there are a total of 6 solid colors and 2 two-tone bodies, and the choice is richer. The 16-inch wheels of the Liberty and Fashion versions have been upgraded to a five-hole fin shape for a more dynamic look.
The main upgrade points inside the cabin include: 1. The front charging holes of the whole system are upgraded to a Type A+C combination, the Type-C interface supports 60W fast charging, and the wireless charging power of the front mobile phone in the fashion version and the knight version is upgraded to 50W, with an active cooling fan to meet the charging needs of different models of mobile phones, and can also reduce the charging temperature in time and improve the service life of the mobile phone battery. 2. The steering wheel of the whole system has been upgraded to 4-way manual adjustment, and the front and rear adjustment functions have been added, which is easier to adapt to users of different heights. 3. The whole series adds a layered cover plate for the trunk, which can achieve full flat docking with the seats, and improve the space utilization. 4. The front seats of the fashionable version and above models increase seat ventilation, and cooperate with the original seat heating function, which can meet the comfort of both winter and summer. 5. Privacy glass is added to the rear row of fashion version and above models to improve privacy and the ability to isolate sunlight.
In terms of power, it still uses two types of motors, 70kW and 130kW, both of which are front-wheel drive. Still with 449kWh blade batteries are the mainstay, but this time 32 has been addedThe 2kWh blade battery pack has become the new entry-level 302km vitality model, and the rest of the models still have a range of 420km and 401km, the former is obviously aimed at urban commuting users.
The chassis is a major upgrade, and the rear suspension of the whole series is upgraded to a four-link independent structure, which is tuned by the Hans team, a former Mercedes-Benz chassis expert. The vehicle's comfort will be significantly improved when navigating bumpy roads of varying heights.

Kandi Comments:
In September last year, it was rumored that the Dolphin would be upgraded and hung independently, and we all believed it at the time, but the 500,000 commemorative edition was not upgraded, which was somewhat disappointing. This time, the 2024 Glory Edition has been upgraded and finally got what it wanted. It is worth observing whether the appearance of the 302km short-range version will affect the sales of the Seagull. Since there are not many competitors of the dolphin, the price reduction of the 420km model of the main sales is not large, only 4000 yuan, mainly because of the more real upgrades in the configuration. As it stands, Dolphin does not have a strong rival, and sales will remain high.
