Byd Dolphin Surf, the “Green Wave” has arrived: riding the wave of the future

The imposing Colosseum, with its arches and travertine pillars, the Obelisk Flaminio, who dominates Piazza del Popolo, then still the Circus Maximus, the Aurelian walls and the iconic imperial holes. It is precisely in Rome, the treasure chest of history, that Byd has chosen to present the new Dolphin Surf, access door to a zero -emission future. What has been and what will be, therefore, cross in the present. In the most accessible car of the Chinese giant, recently awarded as World Urban Car 2025: compact, High-Tech, designed for the big city, is The second best -selling electric car in China.

«When he is on the street, he captures the looks. It’s really captivating », reveals it Star there, Executive vice -president of Byd, on the sidelines of the launch event. «How to overcome Italian skepticism in the face of electric mobility? When someone see this car pass, he won’t ask if he is electric. He will simply say “is fantastic”. If he then climbs on board, discovering all the technology he is equipped with, he will exclaim “I want it too”. On the other hand Dolphin Surf has many secrets, many functions to explore by living it day after later, in everyday life. This is his style, characteristics that everyone is looking for ».

In fact, at a first visual approach, what comes immediately is proper Its dynamic design that intertwines functionality and sporting look. Sharp, with a spoiler on the roof that cleans the air flow improving aerodynamic efficiency, And a rear light bar, all width, which accentuates its presence on the road. But the real surprises, as underlined by the brand’s manager, are inside, Starting from the space and trunk capacity (308 liters) comparable to higher class cars: At the wheel, in fact, you never have the feeling of being compressed.

Rather, The dominant Vibe is linked to practicality: From the 10.1 ”rotating touchscreen – sufficiently close to the visual line to facilitate its use, but low enough not to hinder the view of the road – to the D systemair conditioning with gesture control, up to the voice commands and the possibility of unlocking the car via NFC access, placing the smartphone (or a wearable device) a A sensor on the side mirror. “And let’s not forget that thanks to the Vehicle-to-Load technology, devices can be powered (up to 3.3kw) with the car battery”.

“You can for example drive to the beach and then Connect a machine to prepare coffee to Dolphin Surfor you can recharge your smartphone », Stella Li reminds us. In reality we are not lucky enough to be able to get with the car to the sea, but there were a few hours in the historical monuments of the capital to enjoy his handling and agility: has three driving modes and in sport we have stuck the abilities of the front engine (the comfort version, which combines the largest battery with the most powerful engine, accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.1 “and has a combined autonomy of 310 km).

Fun It is the key word, zero stress It is the immediate effect. Neither as regards the parking lots, nor for the top -up issue: in continuous current up to 85kw, in fact, it is possible to pass from 30% to 80% in 22 minutes. A car designed for a young audience, but not only: it is certainly a really interesting proposal for those looking for An urban electric at an affordable price. It starts from 18,990 euros, which becomes 16,660 euros with financing or leasing per private Ca Bank and a installment of 99 euros per month. “To succeed in this, we have to make sure we work with the most competitive banking partners.”

“The monthly installment remains fundamental, it must be accessible,” repeats Stella Li, who last January It has been elected World Car Person of the Yearfirst woman in history. This too, in its way, tells the beginning of a new chapter, or at least the overcoming of some customs. “There is a wrong perception. From tradition sI think of the car as something mechanical, heavy, which you must know how to mount and disassemble by dirtying yourself. Frankly, I think that the arrival of the electric engines can subvert this incorrect imagination: the cars, operationally, they resemble smartphones more and more».

«I think a product that goes in that direction can open New opportunities in the sector to women. I also think of advertising, digital marketing, fields in which we are very talented ». Obviously, The main driver always remains the passion. “Because if you like what you do, you face any challenge with the right spirit and in the end it surfaces it,” concludes Stella Li, for 29 years in Byd, who closes with a advice to young girls. «We have to choose the work based on what we love, not for the salary. And then build self -confidence. Only in this way will the successes really rewarding».

In short, the “green wave” has arrived. And leads to the future. All that remains is to take the table from (Dolphin) surfing and ride it.
