The BYD Dolphin arrives as one of the most compelling compact EVs on the market, and the 150kW Design 60.4kWh variant represents the model at its most capable. It blends punchy performance, generous equipment, and impressive efficiency—wrapped in a friendly, modern design that stands apart from the typical “future-tech” EV aesthetic. Performance & Driving The 150kW (approx. 201bhp) electric motor gives the Dolphin noticeably more pace than its entry-level siblings. Acceleration is brisk, and urban driving feels effortless thanks to smooth, immediate torque and the single-speed automatic transmission. While not a hot hatch, it offers confident handling with good grip and a composed ride. Steering is light—ideal for city work—and the compact footprint makes it exceptionally easy to maneuver. The interior is one of the Dolphin’s standout features. It feels far more premium than the price suggests, with soft-touch materials, neat design flourishes, and BYD’s now-famous rotating central touchscreen. The touchscreen is responsive, crisp, and packed with features—though the abundance of touch controls might require a learning curve. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support round out a well-equipped tech suite.
