The BYD Dolphin is a compact battery electric car from BYD. It sits in the B segment and uses a five door hatchback body.
The Dolphin uses BYD Blade LFP batteries. Markets offer 44.9 kWh or 60.4 kWh packs. WLTP range reaches about 265 miles with the larger battery. AC charging supports up to 11 kW. DC fast charging peaks near 88 kW.
Pricing targets the lower end of the compact EV class. It suits city drivers, daily commuters, and buyers focused on cost control. Alternatives include the Volkswagen ID.3 and MG4 Electric. Versus the MG4 Electric, the Dolphin trades higher DC speed for LFP battery durability and lower long term degradation.
