2025 BYD Dolphin Launched in Nepal with Industry-First LFP Low Voltage Battery, Price Unchanged

Cimex Inc. Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of BYD Auto Industry Co. Ltd. in Nepal, has officially introduced the 2025 BYD Dolphin at an unchanged price of Rs 41.15 lakh.

Building on the success of its predecessor, the updated model brings a host of enhancements, with the most notable being the introduction of an industry-first Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Low Voltage Battery (LVB).

This innovative battery replaces the conventional lead-acid unit, offering significant benefits such as being six times lighter, having five times lower self-discharge, and providing a lifespan of up to 15 years. The LFP LVB is backed by a 6-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty, setting a new benchmark in reliability and energy storage for low-voltage systems.

The 2025 Dolphin continues to utilize the advanced BYD e-Platform 3.0 and incorporates the ultra-safe Blade Battery technology. It delivers a WLTP-certified range of 340 kilometers and supports fast DC charging, enabling an 80% charge in just 30 minutes—ideal for urban mobility and long drives alike.

Tailored for Nepal’s driving environment, the new version features a sport-tuned suspension system for enhanced handling, brighter LED headlights for better night-time visibility, and a more efficient air conditioning system for improved cooling and heating performance. To further boost convenience, BYD has added smart features such as a Mobile Phone NFC Key, Bluetooth Key, and Passenger Door Switch.

Adding to its visual appeal, the 2025 Dolphin is now offered in a fresh Atlantis Grey finish, joining the existing Urban Grey and Ski White options, giving customers a broader range of premium color choices.

Despite the range of upgrades, the new model retains its competitive pricing and includes a 7kW home charger in the package, offering strong value for buyers seeking a modern, efficient electric hatchback.

During the launch, Cimex also celebrated a significant global milestone—BYD has delivered over 830,000 units of the Dolphin worldwide, with the 2,490th unit delivered in Nepal. This achievement highlights the growing popularity of the Dolphin and reinforces its position as Nepal’s best-selling electric hatchback, trusted for its performance, practicality, and eco-friendly design.

Ms. Yamuna Shrestha, Managing Director of Cimex Inc., expressed her appreciation to customers, partners, and stakeholders, stating, “At Cimex, we remain committed to our vision of sustainable mobility and customer-centric innovation. The BYD Dolphin 2025 is not just an upgrade in features — it represents our continued pursuit of excellence in driving a greener future for Nepal.”

Mr. Sahil Shrestha, Chief Executive Officer of Cimex Inc., added, “The BYD Dolphin is more than a vehicle — it’s an enabler of an electric lifestyle. With every launch, we’re creating a stronger ecosystem that promotes domestic energy use, zero emissions, and a refined customer experience from showroom to service.”

The BYD Dolphin 2025 is now available for test drives and bookings across BYD showrooms and dealer networks nationwide.
