The Dolphin Mini is the Seagull under its Latin American name, a 3,780 mm electric hatchback on e-Platform 3.0. In China pre-sales opened at the Shanghai show on 18 April 2023 and the car launched later that month at 73,800 to 89,800 yuan, with a 55 kW motor and Blade LFP packs of 30.08 and 38.88 kWh rated at 305 and 405 km CLTC. Brazil launched it on 28 February 2024 at R$115,800 with 75 cv and 135 N·m, and BYD presented the first Dolphin Mini assembled at Camaçari on 1 July 2025. Europe sells a related car with a longer body as the Dolphin Surf and Australia as the Atto 1, so it should not be confused with the larger Dolphin.
The Dolphin Mini is the international name for the BYD Seagull, a small city-focused battery-electric hatchback in the Ocean series. It uses a compact Blade LFP battery and a single electric motor, prioritizing low cost and urban efficiency. Marketed in Latin America and other regions as the Dolphin Mini, it is one of BYD's most affordable EVs. It targets the entry-level A-segment electric city car market.
