BYD's all-new Dolphin model, also known as the EA1 (code name), is one of the stars of the 2021 Chengdu Auto Show in China.

It's the first model based on the new BYD e platform 3.0 architecture and also the first model in the new Ocean series. In the coming years, we will probably see many more models named after sea creatures.
