BYD Dolphin Surf: A million-seller is revolutionizing the electric car market!

How Motor Nature According to reports, the production of the Dolphin Surf was mainly controlled in Xi'an, China and has caused sales figures to skyrocket worldwide.

From the V2L function to intelligent cruise control to a rotating touchscreen, everything an electric car heart desires is included. AutoPlus also highlights that over the last 20 months, the Dolphin Surf has been the undisputed leader in monthly sales in its category.
A clever manufacturer with big ambitions
BYD Group, where the Dolphin Surf comes from, has established itself as the world's largest manufacturer of plug-in electric cars and has achieved significant growth of almost fivefold since 2021. Another component of BYD's strategy is the construction of a new factory in Brazil, where the vehicle will be produced under the name Dolphin Mini. This shows the flexibility of BYD, which also plans to produce other models in South America. Loud Statista South America is considered an important market for the company.
BYD was founded in 1995 and originally made a name for itself as a battery manufacturer. Today, the company has long since arrived on the automobile market and has even overtaken Volkswagen on the Chinese market. Last year, BYD's vehicle sales were just under the 100 billion euro mark.
Popular in Europe and Austria
In Europe, BYD is focusing on growth and is planning a factory in Hungary, which is expected to open at the end of 2025. This is a direct response to the EU punitive tariffs on electric cars from China that will apply from the end of 2024.

However, the challenges of the European markets, including political tensions and competitive pressure, should not be underestimated and will shape BYD's next steps.
With the Dolphin Surf, BYD has created a flagship that is not only modern and cost-effective, but has also reached the masses. It remains to be seen how the market will continue to develop and what news awaits us from this exciting manufacturer.
