# ⚡ BYD '4 EV' – Understanding the New Generation of BYD Electric Vehicles
## 📌 A Note on Your Query
The term '**BYD 4 EV**' could refer to two different things. Based on my research:
1. **BYD's 4th EV Model Launch** – Refers to BYD launching its fourth electric vehicle model in specific international markets.
2. **The upcoming 'BYD 4' EV series** – Based on the search results, there is **no specific 'BYD 4' model** yet.
To give you the most useful information, I've covered both possibilities. The core information you need to know is that BYD is aggressively expanding its global lineup, and its most advanced technology is centered on the **e-Platform 3.0** and **Blade Battery**.
## 1. BYD Dolphin (The 4th Global Model)
In several markets (such as Mexico and Japan), the **BYD Dolphin** is officially the **4th EV model** launched by the company . It is a significant car for BYD because it is the first model built on their dedicated **e-Platform 3.0**, designed specifically for electric vehicles.
### Key Specifications of the BYD Dolphin:
| Feature | Specification |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Model** | BYD Dolphin (2023-2025) |
| **Significance** | **4th EV Model** launched in Mexico/Japan |
| **Platform** | e-Platform 3.0 (Dedicated EV Platform) |
| **Dimensions** | 4, 125 mm (L) x 1, 770 mm (W) x 1, 570 mm (H) |
| **Wheelbase** | 2, 700 mm |
| **Range (NEDC)** | Up to 405 km |
| **Charging** | 30% to 80% in 30 mins (Fast Charging) |
| **Target Market** | Affordable, Urban EV |
### Why it Matters:
- **e-Platform 3.0:** This isn't just a car; it's a new architecture. It offers better space (notice the long wheelbase for a car its size, which benefits interior room), improved efficiency, and advanced safety integration.
- **Global Strategy:** The Dolphin is BYD's weapon to compete in the mass-market EV segment, going head-to-head with models like the MG 4 and Volkswagen ID.3.
> **FYI:** BYD also launched the **Sealion 7** in 2025 as its 4th model for the Japanese market .
## 2. BYD 'Qin', 'Han', 'Tang', 'Yuan' (The Core 4 'Dynasty' Series)
The search results also confirm that BYD's main brand identity is built around its **'Dynasty Series'** .
These four core models represent the backbone of BYD's global lineup:
1. **Han** – Flagship Executive Sedan (EV & DM-i/PHEV)
2. **Tang** – Flagship 7-Seater SUV (EV & DM-i/PHEV)
3. **Yuan Plus (Atto 3)** – Global Compact SUV (EV)
4. **Qin Plus** – Compact Sedan (EV & DM-i)
*Note: The combination of these four specific models might be refeered to as the four main pillars of the brand.*
> **Important:** While the **2025 Han** models are getting a significant upgrade with **LiDAR** for advanced autonomous driving, the specific 'BYD 4' model name hasn't been officially revealed yet .
## 3. BYD Technology: The 'Real' 4th Gen?
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of BYD's '4th' generation is the underlying technology rather than a specific model name.
- **Blade Battery:** BYD's proprietary battery technology known for its safety (passes nail penetration test without fire).
- **DM-i Super Hybrid:** A plug-in hybrid system that offers incredible fuel efficiency (often rivaling regular hybrids) while running primarily as an EV.
- **e-Platform 3.0:** The foundation for all new pure electric BYD cars (like the Dolphin and Seal).
## ✨ Sun Protection & Legal Compliance
Before applying any film, **check your local laws**. In India, for example, aftermarket sun films are heavily restricted, but this varies.
### ⚖️ What is generally legal:
- **Factory-fitted tinted glass** (Meets local VLT % requirements).
- **Removable mesh sunshades** (Legal only while parked).
- **Sun-strip** (Top of windshield, max ~15cm height).
### ❌ What is generally illegal:
- Aftermarket tinted black films (regardless of VLT claims).
- Using sunshades while driving (considered obstruction of vision).
## 🛡️ Paint Protection for your BYD
