Design & styling
The BYD Dolphin is a compact electric hatchback sold in Nepal by Cimex, priced at Rs 41,15,000 across the current cataloged lineup, including the Single Variant, Dolphin, and Standard entries. It sits in the premium small EV space, with a city-friendly footprint, a 44.9 kWh Blade Battery, and a feature set that gives it a more upscale feel than a basic commuter EV. The Dolphin follows BYD’s Ocean-inspired design language. It looks rounded, clean and modern rather than aggressively styled. For Nepal buyers, that should help in crowded streets and tight parking spaces.
Performance & drivetrain
The Nepal-spec Dolphin uses a 70 kW front-mounted motor with a 44.9 kWh Blade Battery, and the claimed WLTP range is 340 km. Public Nepal listings also quote 180 Nm of torque, front-wheel drive, and a top speed of 150 km/h, which places it firmly as a smooth, efficient daily-use EV. Charging support is reported at up to 60 kW DC fast charging and 7 kW AC charging. That should suit home charging and quicker top-ups for longer intercity use when chargers are available.

What it actually costs
Pick a variant and a province — ex-showroom, tax, insurance and EMI all update together.
Ex-showroom prices as published by Cimex Inc. Pvt. Ltd. Road tax follows the selected province's schedule; third-party insurance follows the fixed NIA motor tariff.
Engine/motor size isn't officially disclosed for this variant, so this uses a typical 60 kW figure for the band. Non-Bagmati province rates are single-source/indicative. Third-party cover is compulsory and priced at the fixed NIA tariff — identical at every insurer. Bank lending rates vary (Asar 2083 (June/July 2026)).

BYD Dolphin EV in the news
All Nepal auto news →What Nepali buyers & owners are saying — BYD Dolphin EV
Compiled from Reddit, Quora, YouTube comments, Nepali auto groups and forums.
- In Nepal, the BYD Dolphin is commonly listed at NPR 41.15 lakh, while the cheapest BYD model in the market is the Atto 1 at NPR 28.95 lakh.
- Cimex is the authorized BYD distributor in Nepal and BYD is sold through multiple Nepal cities, which matters to buyers worried about service reach.
- The Dolphin is generally discussed as a city-friendly EV rather than a large family car, so Nepal buyers tend to evaluate it against road conditions, charging access, and whether the hatchback form is practical for their use.
- Service coverage and charging network limitations outside Kathmandu remain key drawbacks
- Minor software and infotainment glitches (CarPlay/Android Auto) also appear in several reviews
- Despite these flaws, experts agree that the Dolphin’s value proposition, premium cabin feel, low running cost, and strong safety credentials make it one of the most balanced small EVs for Nepali urban buyers
