Meet the BYD DOLPHIN G DM-i, the innovative plug-in hybrid hatchback designed specifically for European drivers and coming soon to Lookers BYD.
A plug-in hybrid hatchback designed for Europe, combining advanced Super DM technology, intelligent features and up to 105km of electric driving range for greater efficiency and everyday flexibility.
The BYD DOLPHIN G DM-i embraces BYD's signature Ocean Aesthetics design philosophy, combining elegant styling with a contemporary character. The clean and sophisticated front end creates a distinctive appearance, centred around the iconic BYD emblem and designed to stand out on every journey. Every line and detail has been carefully considered to create a hatchback that feels both dynamic and refined, perfectly suited to modern European lifestyles.
Stylish alloy wheels complement the exterior design, adding a strong and confident road presence. Their elegant detailing enhances the vehicle's premium appearance while contributing to its aerodynamic profile.
A panoramic glass roof helps create a bright, open cabin environment, allowing natural light to flow throughout the interior. Its slim design maximises headroom while maintaining structural strength, helping to deliver both comfort and peace of mind for passengers.
Despite its compact footprint, the DOLPHIN G DM-i offers impressive interior space for both drivers and passengers. A thoughtfully designed cabin provides generous room to relax, with ample space across both front and rear seating areas to support comfort on every journey. Whether commuting, travelling with family or heading away for the weekend, the DOLPHIN G DM-i is designed to make every journey more enjoyable.
The front seats feature multi-level heating to provide welcome warmth during colder weather, while the driver's seat includes adjustable lumbar support designed to follow the natural curve of the spine. Together, these features help deliver greater comfort and support, particularly on longer journeys.
Practicality is at the heart of the DOLPHIN G DM-i. The luggage compartment offers up to 425 litres of storage, including an additional 45-litre underfloor compartment for greater flexibility and organisation. With the rear seats folded, available cargo space expands to up to 1,225 litres, making it easy to accommodate everything from everyday essentials to larger luggage and recreational equipment.
At the heart of the DOLPHIN G DM-i is BYD's advanced Super Hybrid DM technology. Developed exclusively by BYD, this intelligent plug-in hybrid system combines electric and petrol power to deliver outstanding efficiency, responsive performance and exceptional driving comfort. The "DM" designation stands for Dual Mode, highlighting the vehicle's ability to intelligently switch between power sources for optimal efficiency. In the DOLPHIN G DM-i, the "i" symbolises intelligence, reflecting the advanced systems that help maximise performance and energy usage throughout every journey.
The DOLPHIN G DM-i features one of the largest infotainment displays in its class, with a 12.8-inch central touchscreen providing intuitive access to key vehicle functions and entertainment features. Built-in Google Maps, Google Assistant and the Google Play Store allow drivers to stay connected through familiar applications and services, creating a seamless digital experience behind the wheel.
Modern convenience is integrated throughout the cabin. Wireless smartphone charging provides a simple cable-free solution for keeping compatible devices powered, while the thoughtfully angled charging pad helps secure your phone during travel. A customisable 31-colour ambient lighting system allows you to personalise the cabin atmosphere, with lighting effects that can synchronise with your music to create a more immersive driving experience. The advanced head-up display projects key driving information directly into the driver's field of view, including speed and navigation guidance, helping reduce distractions and improve awareness on the road.
A high-definition 360-degree camera system provides a comprehensive view around the vehicle, helping make parking and low-speed manoeuvres easier. Multiple ultrasonic sensors work alongside the camera system to improve visibility and awareness in tighter spaces. The DOLPHIN G DM-i also features a comprehensive Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), including Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Assist, Emergency Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Front Cross Traffic Alert and Brake, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Brake. Together, these intelligent safety systems are designed to support drivers and help make every journey safer and more confident.
