Affordable innovation
Choose the BYD Dolphin for its innovative design, advanced safety features, outstanding range and affordable pricing. Experience reliable performance and cutting-edge technology in an eco-friendly package that's perfect for today’s forward-thinking drivers.
Alloy wheels
The BYD Dolphin rides on minimum-size 16-inch alloy wheels which enhance both performance and efficiency due to their light weight. They also provide better heat dissipation for brakes – while adding an extra level of visual sophistication to the vehicle.
LED lights
A range of standard-issue LEDs include automatic High Beam Assist headlights, daytime running lights and continuous taillights, each providing enhanced visibility and aesthetic appeal.
Adjustable positions
Both driver and co-passenger benefit from six-way and four-way adjustable seats, respectively, each of which are heated. This ensures optimal comfort on even the longest of journeys and at the coldest times of the year.
Vegan leather seats
Vegan leather seats offer eco-friendly and cruelty-free benefits, reducing environmental impact. They are durable, easy to clean and resistant to wear. Additionally, they provide a luxurious look and feel, further enhancing the Dolphin’s interior.
Enhanced cabin quality
A PM 2.5 air filter improves cabin air quality by capturing fine particles, allergens and pollutants. It ensures a healthier driving environment, reduces respiratory issues and provides cleaner, fresher air for all concerned.
Versatile interior
Not only is this roomy five-seater longer, wider and taller than the Vauxhall Corsa Electric and Peugeot e-208, it features a larger, 345-litre boot. Moreover, with 60/40 split-folding rear seats dropped, luggage capacity increases to a very useful 1,310 litres.
Advanced infotainment
The BYD Dolphin is packed with advanced tech, including a five-inch full-LCD driver display, a 12.8-inch electrically rotatable touchscreen, a six-speaker sound system and onboard 4G connectivity. It also comes with intelligent voice control – just say “Hi, BYD!” and you’re good to go.
Stay connected
Thanks to the inclusion of USB-A and USB-C inputs, Bluetooth and Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, it’s easy to stay connected on all your Dolphin journeys.
Innovative BYD Blade Battery
The Dolphin’s BYD Blade Battery offers superior safety, thermal stability and efficiency. Its lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry reduces fire risks, extends vehicle range and supports faster charging. This durable and eco-friendly technology underpins enhanced performance and reliability, setting a new standard in electric vehicle battery innovation.
Five-star safety
The BYD Dolphin has been awarded a maximum five-star crash-test rating by Euro NCAP, including 89% for Adult Occupancy and 87% for Child Occupancy, making it a very safe vehicle indeed.
