In fact, in life, daily commuting is the main scene in travel, but occasionally you can run long distances. Therefore, when many consumers buy their first car in their life, they often consider small cars priced at around 100,000 yuan, such as the Honda Fit in fuel vehicles. However, considering the travel advantages of trams in the new stage, many users will also consider BYD Dolphins with similar positioning. Both models are not large in size, and the entry threshold is low, so it is just right for transportation to the city. At the same time, these two models are built by large manufacturers, and there is no need to worry about quality and quality control. They are suitable for novice drivers to practice. So, how should we choose to put these two models together?
First analyze the pricing of these two models. The pricing range of Honda Fit is 81,800-108,800, and the pricing range of BYD Dolphin is 102,800-130,800. It is not difficult to find that the standard configuration difference between the two cars is about 20,000. For friends with strict budget control, Honda is 100% preferred. As you can see, the pricing of Honda Fit's top-end model is basically close to that of BYD Dolphins. Among them, Honda Fit is a familiar old model. It has been active in the domestic market for many years, with a large number of related accessories and low maintenance costs; BYD Dolphin is a new car, which will be launched in August 2021. The market reputation and accumulation of the two models will be different.
size: Both models are flexible and good parking
Honda Fit
Honda Fit and BYD Dolphin are actually relatively close in positioning, and both belong to small cars. For this reason, the body sizes of these two models are relatively close. Take the measurement data, both models have a length of less than 4 meters, a width of less than 1.8 meters, and a height of less than 1.6 meters. It is not difficult to find that both models are small in the automotive market, so when traveling in cities, both models can flexibly shuttle through the traffic flow through small-sized bodies. Moreover, the small-sized body allows Honda Fit and BYD Dolphin to occupy less space than other models, and it will also be easier to park than models like Volkswagen Lavida and Nissan Sylphy.

Battery: City commuting pressure-free
Honda Fit and BYD Dolphin both provide a range that can meet daily travel. Among them, Honda Fit is equipped with a 1.5L engine + CVT gearbox, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.2L-5.6L. Combined with the fuel tank volume of 40L, the comprehensive range of this car has exceeded 600km. The BYD Dolphin is powered by an electric motor. As for battery life, the BYD Dolphin provides three battery life: 301km, 401km and 405km, which meets the pressure of commuting in cities. However, one thing to note is that the battery's performance will attenuate at low temperatures in winter. When driving a BYD dolphin in winter, you have to consider the reduction in battery life.
Honda Fit
And when you are preparing to go out for a self-driving tour during the National Day holiday, Honda Fit and BYD Dolphins can actually meet certain long-distance needs, but the experience of these two models will be slightly different. When the Honda Fit runs long distances, it has a long battery life, so there is basically no need to recharge the battery life when driving to neighboring provinces. The battery life is really insufficient, and the battery life can be replenished faster through the gas station. Let’s look at BYD Dolphin. The battery life of this car is not too long. Currently, there are charging piles on the highway. As long as you charge frequently, you can actually travel for a long distance. However, there are not many charging piles on the highway, and there are many people traveling on electric vehicles during holidays. If you want to charge, you will inevitably have to queue up, which will increase the travel time. For example, the charging time of 1-2 hours is inevitable. If you travel on a large holiday, the time will be even more difficult to estimate. 3-4 hours are common.

Appearance: One is dynamic, the other is science fiction
Honda Fit's appearance design is relatively soft, and the body does not add too many sharp lines, but has a certain smooth curve. For example, the front grille, the edge position is selected. The headlights on both sides have obvious bulges, and they are matched with the LED light source inside to form two bright "big eyes".There are obvious upward lines on the side, and a larger rear triangle window is selected, and the triangular strips on the lower edge of the window are combined to form an effect similar to the floating roof, which is more dynamic.

BYD Dolphin's design style is more characteristic of a pure electric car. The front face is selected as a closed grille, the headlights are small in style, and there are LED light sources inside. There is also a two-color body combination on the side, and the body lines are more sharp. Some models also have different colored body trim and exterior rearview mirrors. As for which of these two models looks better, it depends on the aesthetics and preferences of consumers.
BYD Dolphin
To sum up, although Honda Fit and BYD Dolphin are relatively close in positioning, there are actually some differences between these two models. From the perspective of urban transportation, both Honda Fit and BYD Dolphin can meet the needs of consumers. As a pure electric vehicle, BYD Dolphin will inevitably be slightly inferior to fuel vehicles like Honda Fits, considering long-distance travel and winter cars. So overall, the Honda Fit may still be a good choice for transportation.
