BYD Dolphin G DM-i: the plug-in hybrid city car designed for Europe, available in French-speaking Switzerland

At Fila Group, we are proud to offer you the BYD Dolphin G DM-i, the first model developed by BYD specifically for the European markets. Compact, affordable and boasting a range unrivalled in its class, it redefines what an everyday city car can be.

La The Dolphin G DM-i is available for a test drive now in our garages in Yverdon-les-Bains, Biel, Neuchâtel and La Chaux-de-Fonds.

A three-box compact car with a European design, perfect for both city driving and the open road

The first BYD designed in collaboration with the design teams in Milan

La BYD Dolphin G DM-i marks a turning point in the brand’s strategy. Its European design centre, which opened in Milan in late 2025 under the leadership of Wolfgang Egger — former head of design at Audi and Alfa Romeo — has helped give this model a silhouette that is deliberately more understated and European in style than its predecessors. With its clean front end, refined headlights and compact three-box saloon body, the Dolphin G stands out from the usual conventions of the segment.

With its 4.16 metres long and 1.825 metres wide, It sits at the heart of the European B-segment, where the Golf, Peugeot 308 and Renault Mégane compete. A familiar design, cutting-edge technology.

DM-i Super Hybrid technology: drive electric, go anywhere

How does BYD’s DM-i system work?

The Dolphin G DM-i operates like an electric car with a range extender. In the vast majority of situations, it is the 163-horsepower electric motor which drives the wheels. The 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 95 horsepower is primarily used as a generator to charge the battery — or to drive the wheels directly during sharp acceleration via a dedicated clutch.

The result: a smooth, quiet electric drive in town, and complete peace of mind on long journeys.

BYD Dolphin G DM-i: technological features and connectivity

A modern interior featuring innovations typically found in higher-end models

The Dolphin G DM-i comes with features you’d expect to find on much more expensive models. In particular, it introduces a navigation display right behind the wheel, a first for the BYD range in Europe.

FAQ

What is the actual range of the BYD Dolphin G DM-i?
The Dolphin G DM-i boasts a combined range of up to 1,040 km, comprising the electric range (up to 105 km depending on the model) and the range on a full tank of petrol. In everyday use, most journeys are made in 100% electric mode.

How long does it take to charge the Dolphin G DM-i?
The Boost, Comfort and Sport trim levels support 39 kW DC fast charging: from 10% to 80% in 28 minutes. When using a 6.6 kW wallbox for AC charging, a few hours are all it takes to top up for the next day’s journeys.

Do I need to recharge the Dolphin G DM-i regularly?
No. Unlike a fully electric vehicle, the Dolphin G DM-i can be refuelled just like a conventional car. Charging at home or at a charging point is recommended to maximise electric driving and minimise fuel consumption.
