Generations & years

  • First generation 2023–present

    Unveiled at the Shanghai show and opened for pre-sale in April 2023; production from April 2023. A five-seat version was added in July 2024 in at least one export market.

Powertrain, battery & charging

Single front motor, 55 kW (75 hp) in the China-spec car. 30.08 kWh or 38.88 kWh LFP Blade battery (305 km or 405 km CLTC); DC fast charging, 30–80% in about 30 minutes. Export markets list battery sizes from about 30 to 43 kWh, depending on the market and trim.

Where to find the VIN

On most cars the VIN is visible at the base of the windscreen (driver side) and on a label in the driver-side door opening; check your registration document too.

China-spec vs export-spec

The same car is sold as Seagull, Dolphin Mini, Dolphin Surf and Atto 1, and battery and motor specification vary by market, so the badge alone does not identify the parts. Charging inlets also differ by market: China-spec cars use the GB/T standard, export versions are built for the destination market, and charge-port parts are not interchangeable. Send the VIN.
