BYD introduces the compact hatchback model, Seagull, in El Salvador
In a significant move, Chinese automotive giant BYD has introduced the Dolphin Mini to the passenger vehicle market in El Salvador. The launch, announced on Friday, marks the company's expansion in the Central American country.
The Dolphin Mini, previously known as the BYD Seagull in some markets, has been rebranded as the Dolphin Mini in El Salvador. The reason behind this name change is not explicitly stated in available sources, but it is speculated to be a market-specific branding choice.
The Dolphin Mini is an electric vehicle, offering a range of up to 380 kilometers. It is positioned as a compact electric hatchback, making it an affordable and efficient choice for consumers in El Salvador.
While the exact starting price for the Dolphin Mini in El Salvador is not disclosed in the search results, it is expected to fall within the low to mid-range electric vehicle segment. For reference, the starting price of the Dolphin Mini in other markets is around $22,400.
It is important to note that the launch of the other five models offered by BYD in El Salvador, including the BYD Seal, BYD Yuan Pro, BYD Song Plus, BYD Song Pro, and BYD Shark, has not been specifically detailed.
The entry of the Dolphin Mini into the El Salvador market comes amidst a decline in BYD's NEV (New Energy Vehicle) sales in July. This decline is attributed to the continued decline in Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs).
BYD, listed as BYD (HKG: 1211, OTCMKTS: BYDDY), partnered with Energy Motors for the launch of the Dolphin Mini in El Salvador. However, this article does not provide any new information about Energy Motors.
In conclusion, the Dolphin Mini, previously known as the BYD Seagull, has been rebranded as the Dolphin Mini in El Salvador. While the exact starting price for the Dolphin Mini in El Salvador is not disclosed, it is expected to fall within the low to mid-range electric vehicle segment. The launch of the Dolphin Mini was done by BYD and its partner Energy Motors, marking the company's expansion in the Central American market.
