What is the Dolphin like to drive and use every day?
Only current English content and deterministic published facts are shown. Dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.
Driving & performance
Performance changes meaningfully with trim choice.
Published power, acceleration and drivetrain show how performance changes across trims; they do not replace an untranslated road-test verdict.
Published evidence
- • Published power spans 70–150 kW across current trims.
- • Drivetrain choices: Front-wheel drive.
- Light and quick start, often being the first to rush out at traffic lights, bringing a sense of joy.
- Weak overtaking ability on highways, insufficient power reserve when fully loaded or going uphill.
- Light and quick start, doesn't lag behind at red lights in the city, but acceleration tends to be gradual in the middle and later stages; power reserve is sufficient within daily speed ranges, but slightly insufficient for sustained high-speed cruising.
Cabin comfort
Core comfort equipment is consistent across the lineup.
This conclusion uses only direct seat, suspension and climate equipment. Body dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.
Published evidence
- • Suspension — Standard across all trims.
- • Climate control — Standard across all trims.
- The rear legroom exceeds expectations, but the headroom and lateral width are still at the level of small cars; the chassis tuning is comfortable, filtering small bumps reasonably well, but the rear axle bounces significantly after large speed bumps.
- The rear legroom is significantly better than its peers, making it comfortable even when occasionally carrying family members.
- Most comfortable for two people, but very cramped when sitting three in a row; headroom not suitable for tall individuals.
Space & practicality
Body dimensions vary across the current lineup.
Check the dimensional evidence below because practicality is not identical across every trim.
Published evidence
- • Seating capacity: 5 seats.
- • Body length: 4,125–4,280 mm.
- • Wheelbase: 2,700 mm, unchanged by trim.
- • Audio system — Standard across all trims.
- • Keyless access — Standard across all trims.
- High fast charging efficiency, short waiting time for charging during long journeys; external discharge expands the usage scenarios of the car.
- The quick charging port is located on the right front of the vehicle. If the charging station is not properly positioned, you may need to adjust the parking direction.
- The range of CLTC is 420km, with an actual urban range of about 350km and low power consumption; the fast charging speed is good, taking less than half an hour for 30%-80%, but the slow charging port location may not be convenient.
Smart tech & daily use
Core connected features are standard across the lineup.
Only formally defined connected, assistance, parking and display parameters are included.
Published evidence
- • Center screen — Standard across all trims.
- • OTA updates — Standard across all trims.
- • Connected car services — Standard across all trims.
- • Voice control — Standard across all trims.
- Only equipped with rear radar and a single camera, lacking advanced assistance features such as adaptive cruise control; the car's system is relatively smooth and fully functional, but the screen size and resolution are average.
- Rear radar as standard equipment, reducing the risk of blind spots during reversing.
- Lack of driving assistance on highways and long journeys, leading to high levels of fatigue; no automatic follow-up function in urban areas.

Reference data
Specs explained
High-value published parameters are shown only where the current visible trims provide them.
China list price
CN¥99,800–CN¥129,800
The published China list-price range shows the entry point and how far upper trims extend. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
CLTC range
410–520 km
A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
Battery capacity
44.93–60.48 kWh
Battery capacity helps explain range potential, weight and charging needs. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
DC charging power
60–110 kW
Peak DC power indicates charging capability, while an actual stop also depends on the charging curve and conditions. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
Maximum power
70–150 kW
Published maximum power helps frame acceleration capability and overtaking reserve. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
Maximum torque
180–310 N·m
Torque is one input to initial response; calibration, gearing and traction also matter. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
Drivetrain
Front-wheel drive
Drivetrain changes traction and can separate entry and performance trims. The published value is the same across all current trims.
Seats
5
Seat count is a capacity fact, not proof of passenger comfort. The published value is the same across all current trims.
Length
4,125–4,280 mm
Length affects road footprint and parking space; it does not directly prove cabin room. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.
Width
1,770 mm
Width affects road and parking footprint and may support shoulder room, without proving it. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.
Wheelbase
2,700 mm
Wheelbase is a packaging dimension and is not used alone as a ride-comfort conclusion. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.
Body style
Hatchback
Body style helps frame access and cargo layout, but exact usability still depends on the vehicle. The published value is the same across all current trims.
