The model
Read full BYD Dolphin reviewThanks to its list price, practicality and relatively plush interior, the BYD Dolphin looks like a decent alternative to the Vauxhall Corsa Electric and MG4 EV. True, those rivals handle better and they can charge more quickly, but the Dolphin is comfortable and drives well enough for a small car. The smaller battery versions make the most sense, with plenty of kit and enough performance for the price.
The trim
See full equipmentThe entry-level Active trim comes impressively well-equipped with a range of premium features, including adaptive cruise control, faux-leather upholstery and a heat pump.
The engine
See full engine specsEntry-level Active trim comes with a 94bhp electric motor that's good for a 0-62mph time of 12.3 seconds. That might sound slow, but it’s enough to keep up with city traffic.
